Inside the Jinci Museum Scenic Area, Jinci Town, Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province.

According to Mafengwo, we learned that the Taiyuan Drum Tower is located in the Jinci Museum Scenic Area, Jinci Town, Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province.

The Drum Tower in Taiyuan was the tallest and most majestic building in Taiyuan City from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China for nearly 600 years. It is comparable to the famous Xi'an Bell Tower.

It is difficult to determine when the Drum Tower was built.

"Yangqu County Chronicles" written by Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty has "The Record of the Drum Tower Rebuilt by Gengzi of Shunzhi" which states: "The tower was built in the Tang Dynasty and was supervised by the Duke of Hubei."
