Changzhou Tianning Temple

Changzhou Tianning Temple is a nationally protected temple, and is known as one of the four great Chan Buddhist monasteries in China, along with Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, Gaomin Temple in Yangzhou, and Tiantong Temple in Ningbo. The pagoda of Changzhou Tianning Temple is over 150 meters high, making it the tallest among many pagodas in the country. Inside the Fanyin Pavilion of the Tianning Pagoda, a Brahma bell hangs at a height of 122 meters, which can be called the highest bell in the world. We reached the top of the pagoda. Tickets are required to climb the pagoda. You can take the elevator to the 12th mezzanine floor and then climb the stairs to the Fanyin Pavilion. This section is quite long and steep (I forgot how many steps there are). The last picture is a statue of Xu Zhimo outside Tianning Temple.
