The Zengchong Drum Tower stands at the heart of Zengchong, a Dong village in Congjiang County, Guizhou. Built in the early Qing, it is one of the oldest surviving Dong drum towers. More than twenty metres high, its thirteen tiers of eaves narrow as they rise, and the whole frame of fir is joined without a single nail; village meetings and festivals take place beneath it.
