Zhenhai Tower (镇海楼) is a five-storey red-sandstone watchtower perched on Yuexiu Hill, first built in 1380 during the early Ming dynasty. Today it houses the Guangzhou Museum, with collections spanning the city's 2,200-year urban history.
Built by Zhu Liangzu, the founding dynasty's governor of Guangdong, the tower has been destroyed and rebuilt five times. The current structure dates to a 1928 reconstruction and was designated a national heritage site in 1996.
