Liao Dynasty temple prepares to open for National Day

Another highlight of the temple is the Feihu Bell, cast in 1114. The two-ton iron bell, measuring 1.6 meters in height and 1.5 meters in diameter, is the only Liao-era bell with a clearly inscribed date, according to the bureau.

Decorated with more than 1,200 Chinese characters and 55 Sanskrit scripts, it was cast for prayers for the emperor and royal family and serves as a valuable historical record.
