The Fucheng Drum Tower is located on an ancient city wall in Qiongshan District, Haikou, in China’s Hainan Province. It is a civil engineered city tower, and was a symbol of the city serving as both military defense and as a means of flood control for Fucheng in ancient times. The Drum Tower was built in 1372 by Wang You, the commander of Hainan, in the fifth year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty.
The Drum Tower and the surrounding area, including Qiongtai Fudi and the ancient Qiongshan City Wall, has played witness to the thousand-year history of Qiongzhou, which is an old name for Hainan.
The Drum Tower faces south, and to its north lies Qiongtai Fudi. Fudi is situated on Mount Bao'er, and was the origin of the name “Qiongtai”. WANG CHENGXIAN
