Chenggu Bell Tower is located on Zhonglou Street in Bowang Town, Chenggu County, at the former intersection of the east, west, south, and north streets of the old Chenggu County town. According to the Chenggu County Annals from the Qing Dynasty: The Chenggu Bell Tower was first built during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty but was later destroyed by war. It was rebuilt in the 24th year of the Guangxu reign (1898). The bell tower stands 20 meters tall and is built of brick and wood. It consists of a base platform and a tower structure, with a steep staircase inside that leads to the top. The base platform is made of brick, square in shape, with sides of 7.5 meters and a height of 6 meters. Below it is a cross-shaped arched passageway that allows people to walk through. The upper structure is a triple-eaved pavilion-style building.
