This museum is one of the distinctive museums that you can not miss while wandering in Xi'an, and it is one of the museums specialized in displaying ancient drums, where drums in Chinese culture are a sign of running time and sometimes they were used as an emergency alarm. It was initially built in 1380 during the reign of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and was renovated twice in 1699 and 1740 in the Qing dynasty. In the modern era, the drum tower is no longer used as a timer, but it has become a distinctive museum, which includes some new attractions that visitors can enjoy, as a new drum covered with a piece of cowhide was placed entirely on the tower in 1996 AD, which is the largest drum In China at present. Moreover, visitors will enjoy the musical performances inside that will introduce visitors to the power of ancient Chinese culture.
