The bell tower is a characteristic building of the Miao nationality. Listen to the morning bell and dusk drum, and watch the sun rise and the moon set. The bell is struck at 7 o'clock sharp, 12 times at 15-second intervals. In the bell, the county began to wake up, and the beautiful day officially began.
From September 15th to 17th, from 19:00 to 21:00 every night, a stunning visual feast will be staged between the Bell Tower and the Murda Tower - Chang'e to the Moon. At that time, a fairy-like woman flies lightly into the air, dancing, telling the ancient and moving legend.
