Bell Tower Introduction: To the east of the Royal Stele Pavilion is the bell tower. Inside the tower hangs an octagonal iron bell made by Ma Shikui, a native of Jiaqing in the 18th year, weighing more than 2,000 kilograms. The upper edge of the bell is inscribed with eight characters: "The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the weather is good." There are local rumors that whenever a flood comes, the bells and drums in the Dragon King Temple will ring and the sound will vibrate for miles, waking people up in time to evacuate the dangerous situation and saving the people from the disaster of the flood.
