Drum Towers

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:34:10

A drum tower resembles a flamboyant, multi-eaved pagoda plonked on a rectangular pavilion. The taller ones are built entirely of cedar. Donate a few coins as you enter, and look up at the receding beams and the scale-like tiles. Some towers have a fire pit. Once the social and religious heart of the village, they're now colonised by old men watching TV and playing ping pong.
