There are different opinions about the origin of the Drum Tower. According to folklore, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang made a southern expedition and once camped in Dongxiang. In order to facilitate the command, a tall pavilion was built in the camp, and a bronze drum was built inside, so it was circulated as the Drum Tower. There is another saying that is even more amazing. It is said that the Drum Tower is a relic left by aliens on the earth. Ancient aliens came to Dongxiang and built rockets and UFO launchers. The Drum Tower is shaped like a support for launching rockets, and the attic on the top floor is shaped like a flying saucer, which was built by ancestors Dong according to the architectural model of aliens. Among the lyrics of Dong singers praising the Drum Tower, there is a sentence "The gods came down to earth to give gifts that day", which is intriguing.
