Gulou station (simplified Chinese: 鼓楼站; traditional Chinese: 鼓樓站; pinyin: Gǔlóu Zhàn; lit. 'drum tower station'), is an interchange station on Line 1 and Line 4 of the Nanjing Metro.[1] Opened on 3 September 2005 for the Line 1 portion of the station, Gulou station is among the first Nanjing Metro stations to open for passenger service.[2] It is named for an old drum tower that serves as a local landmark nearby. The line 4 section of the station opened on 18 January 2017,[3] with cultural exhibits lining the station's walls.[4] Located underneath a roundabout that links to Beijing West Road [zh], Beijing East Road [zh], Zhongyang Road [zh], Zhongshan Road [zh] and Zhongshan North Road [zh], Gulou station is located near Gulou Hospital, Nanjing University's Gulou campus, and is right underneath the Zifeng Tower.
