There are many streets following the historical city. Such as Xiaoqiang, beixiaoqiang, xiaoerfuxiang, fangshanfu, linquanfu, etc. The name of the sub district office is also derived from the drum tower, a historical relic. The drum tower was built in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt twice during the reign of emperor Shunzhi and Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty. It was one of the most magnificent buildings in Taiyuan at that time. The chanting tower built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty echoed this. After 1912, Yan Xishan restored the drum tower. And turned into a local goods exhibition hall. During the war of liberation, Yan Xishan was built as a garrison position. When Taiyuan was liberated in April 1949, he was injured by gunfire and was in great danger of collapse. It was demolished in 1952. The street is named after the building, which is still in use today.
