Echoes in Elegant Arches: The Drum Tower

The Drum Tower at Kong Meng San Temple mirrors the Bell Tower with its classic red pillars and curved roofs, adorned with phoenixes instead of dragons. The intricate carvings add to its elegance. Inside, a massive drum is housed on the upper floor, struck 108 times during ceremonies to represent mindfulness and awakening. The resonant beats reverberate across the temple grounds, blending harmony and tradition into the tranquil ambiance.
