If you want to see the biggest bell in China this temple is certainly worth a visit on the way to or from the Summer Palace. The bell is almost 20 feet tall and weighs in at around 50 tons. There are nearly a quarter-million Buddhist scripture characters inscribed on its bronze exterior. The bell is only rung on New Year’s Eve and during Chinese New Year, but its gong can supposedly be heard up to 25 miles away.
