Bells and the Biggest One

Great Bell Temple in Beijing hosts the largest bell in China, 6.75 in height. It displays many other bells collected from all over China. There is a lady who will play popular tunes on various bells (also bells made of square stone), she even played a Czech song (I immediately forgot the tune because she went on to play Jingle Bells and it completely washed away my memory of the Czech tune.. whatever I did to suggest to her to play the previous tune again, she would not understand..).



For bell lovers, this is the ideal place to be. Pity there was not much commentary in English or an English guide. I would have loved that.



Details.. Need a dictionary for this one..
