| Broken Clock Tower || Silent Clock Tower || ''Tamurau Toké’e'' || Tamura's Watch<ref>Yukio Tamura(田村雪雄) was the final Japanese colonial administrator of Japanese-occupied Wuhu Island, maintaining his tenure from February 1944 till the end of the war in 1945. According to local folklore, Tamura never wore a wristwatch in public, despite most of his predecessors often boasting expensive wristwatches in public appearances. Thus, many locals joked that Tamura simply used the Clock Tower(ironically built by Tamura's predecessor Saburō Yamaguchi(山口三郎)) to check the time, leading to the clock's naming.</ref>
