The Drum Tower is an ancient building that dates back to 1272, during the reign of Kublai Khan, and was located in the heart of the Yuan capital Dadu. Originally called the Tower of Orderly Administration (Qizhenglou), it underwent renovations during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In 1420, during the reign of the Yongle Emperor of the Ming dynasty, the tower was rebuilt to the east of its original location. Then, in 1800, during the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor of the Qing dynasty, the building underwent large-scale renovations.
