Gulou, or the Drum Tower, is a Ming dynasty landmark in Ningbo's historic center. Originally built as a timekeeping tower, it now stands as a symbol of the city's heritage. Visitors climb the tower for sweeping views of the old town's traditional rooftops and narrow alleyways. The base houses a small museum on Ningbo's history, and the surrounding area features restored ancient streets with tea houses and souvenir shops. It's a quiet contrast to the modern city nearby.
