It is also known as the Dajiangji Ancient Bell Museum. This bell museum displays many large old bells. If you look closely, you'll find some interesting bells with Chinese characters written all over their surface. As well as Chinese bells, the museum also displays Western and Japanese bells, making it a proper museum. It's located about 600m west along the Sanrin Ring Road north of Dajiangji Station on Subway Line 13.
