Four Towers in Early Qing Dynasty (沈阳明初四塔) consist of East tower, south tower, west tower and north tower. They are located around the city. This is the information.
East tower(东塔)：East tower street, Dadong District(大东区东塔街), you can take Line 1 subway to there.
South tower(南塔)：South tower street, Shenhe District（沈河区南塔街）
