This impressive drum tower, located at the center of a busy roundabout in central Linfen, is the second tallest drum tower in China. (At 43.75 m tall, it is just a bit shorter than the one in Beijing.) Also known as Dazhonglou, this magnificent square tower was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, approximately 1000 years ago, and has been rebuilt a number of times since then, including in 1984. This drum tower is supported by 12 massive wooden pillars, each one meter in diameter. The building contains no nails and is held together by a series of interlocking wooden pieces. Visitors may climb to the top, and the drum on display is not the original one, but the bell on display is some 800 years old.

The migration associated with the Hongdong Great Pagoda Tree began with the southward relocation of the Song imperial family in the late Northern Song period and reached its peak during the Hongwu and Yongle reigns of the Ming dynasty, continuing until the mid-Qing dynasty. It lasted from the first year of Emperor Huizong's Jianzhong Jingguo era (1101) to the twenty-fifth year of Emperor Jiaqing's reign in the Qing dynasty (1820), spanning more than 700 years. The great migration during the Hongwu and Yongle reigns of the Ming dynasty was the largest, most widespread, and most organized relocation in Chinese history. To consolidate the economic foundation of Ming rule, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang implemented policies of immigrant land reclamation and established systems of civilian, military, and commercial settlements. These measures played an important role in restoring production, increasing population, developing the economy, opening up frontier regions, and promoting cultural exchange. This migration lasted for about 50 years and involved 1,230 family names. The descendants of those who moved from here number in the hundreds of millions.
