Quzhou Bell Tower
衢州钟楼
A multistory bell tower in the center of the old town and a landmark of Quzhou. It is an easy walk from Shuiting Gate and the Confucius Temple.
The Quzhou Bell Tower sits in the center of the old town. It was built on the foundation of the old city wall, with a multi-eave hip-and-gable roof, and is part of the Quzhou city wall listed as a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit. The old street below preserves bluestone paving and arcaded shopfronts. A few minutes' walk west brings you to Shuiting Gate, and to the east you can reach Fushan Park and the Southern Kong Family Ancestral Temple. The exterior can be viewed for free, and access to the upper floors depends on the day's schedule. The tower is lit at night and is a pleasant place for an evening stroll and photos.
