Pingzhai Drum Tower

　　   Pingzhai Drum Tower — Built in the first year of the Daoguang reign during the Qing Dynasty (1821 AD). The drum tower has three bays and features a double-eaved, hanging-roof style in the central section. This represents the earliest form of Dong drum tower architecture and is one of the oldest preserved drum towers in the Sanjiang area, designated as a county-level key cultural relic protection unit. In September 2014, construction began on a new drum tower in Pingzhai. It covers an area of 169 square meters, stands approximately 25 meters tall, has 17 tiers of eaves, and cost around 1.5 million RMB to build. It is a single-pillar drum tower, two tiers taller than the Yanzhai Drum Tower completed in 2006, and currently has the most eaves of any drum tower in the scenic area.
