Beijing Drum Tower and Bell Tower, also known as "Beijing Bell and Drum Tower", are located at No. 9, Linzi, Zhonglouwan, Dongcheng District, Beijing. It was the timekeeping center of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It was first built in the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1272), rebuilt in the eighteenth year of the Ming Dynasty (1420), rebuilt in the eighteenth year of the Ming Dynasty (1539), and rebuilt in the tenth year of the Qing Dynasty (1745).

Beijing Drum Tower and Bell Tower are part of the central axis of Beijing, including two ancient buildings, Beijing Drum Tower and Beijing Bell Tower. Beijing Drum Tower is bright red, with two floors, a total height of 46.7 meters, facing south, covering an area of about 7,000 square meters, covered with gray barrel tiles and green glazed edges, and is a double-eaved three-drop wooden structure pavilion building, with 25 large drums remaining inside. The bell tower is a gray brick and stone building with two floors and a total height of 47.9 meters. It faces south and covers an area of about 6,000 square meters. It has a double-eaved hip roof. There are octagonal wooden frame bell racks and bronze bells and other cultural relics inside.
