The Bell Tower


[Bell Tower]


The Bell Tower, seen from the nearby Drum Tower. The two stand together amid one of the last remaining areas of traditional housing in Beijing. I am told that this area has become something of a tourist attraction in its own right, but when I lived in Beijing, it was just an old neighborhood. I stood on the Drum Tower balcony for some time, admiring the views and watching a small white cat that was patrolling the area, jumping from roof-top to roof-top.
