Matian Drum Tower

Matian Drum Tower and Panlong Bridge are located in Duyan Park. Can be visited in a day. The ticket for the Drum Tower is 20 yuan. The first time I saw it, I was very shocked. The structure of the Drum Tower is very strange. It looks like there are nine floors, but the interior is actually only two floors. The 1 to 8 floors are all four corners, and the 9th floor is octagonal. The four-sided corrugated symmetrical shapes of dragons, dragons, phoenix, peacocks, salmon, lions, and deer symbolize auspicious happiness. Very exquisite.

Matian Drum Tower and Panlong Bridge are both located in Duyan Park, 20 yuan/person. Renovated in 1950, it is a key cultural relics protection unit in the country. Drum Tower is a special symbol of Dongzhai, and it can be visited in about half an hour.

Founded in the Qing Shunzhi years, it is a unique building of the Yi people. Square two-story pavilion, nine floors and eight columns, wooden structure. The edge is 8 meters wide and 20 meters high. The top cover is octagonal, and the top of the gourd treasure is on the top. The sealing board and the large beams in the building are painted with folk pictures, and each corner is decorated with birds and animals. The ground floor is equipped with fire ponds and wooden benches. The front of the second floor is an active board wall, which can be used as a stage. The 1st to 8th floors are four corners, and the 9th floor is eight corners. The four-sided corrugated symmetrically molded dragon, dragon, phoenix, peacock, eel, lion, Ben deer and other graphics symbolizing auspicious happiness. The horizontal scorpion also has various birds, fish, flowers and grass, with clear lines and colorful colors. The whole building is exquisitely structured, beautifully shaped, elegant and dignified, and is a masterpiece of Yi architectural art.

After liberation, the passage became a base for the army, and it was always closed in the mountains, so it was put on a mystery and retained the original Yi culture.
