Attractions around Nianhua Bay

The first bell in Jiangnan, the first tripod in China, and the Lingshan Giant Buddha.

The First Bell in the South of the Yangtze River: Looking south from the Main Hall of Xiangfu Zen Temple, there is a large bronze bell hanging in the bell tower on the left, which is what we call the "First Bell in the South of the Yangtze River". The so-called "first bell" refers to the weight and diameter of the copper bell. The bronze bell weighs 12.8 tons, with a maximum diameter of 2.5 meters at the bottom and a total height of 3.5 meters. It is named "Xiangfu Zen Bell" and is the largest bronze bell in the Jiangnan area so far. The "Xiangfu Zen Bell" was cast by the Wuhu Shipyard in Anhui Province. It is the largest bell cast since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Once the bell rings, it can last for three minutes.

The First Cauldron in China: As you can see, in the square in front of the Buddha at the foot of the Buddha, there is a tall and large three-legged tripod, which is the "No. 1 Cauldron in China". The total height of this tripod is 8.8 meters. It is made of tin bronze and has a total weight of more than 12 tons. The design of the tripod is novel, the shape is exquisite and generous, the relief patterns are exquisite and meticulous, and the casting is excellent and perfect. It is undoubtedly the best among bronze tripods. Master Mingshan named it "Ten Thousand Years Treasure Cauldron". Therefore, no matter from which perspective, it is well-deserved to be called the "No. 1 Cauldron in China". The "Ten Thousand Years Cauldron" was designed and sculpted by Wu Xianlin, the sculptor of Lingshan Giant Buddha, and cast by Nanjing Chenguang Group at Lingshan Giant Buddha Foundry. Therefore, the "Ten Thousand Years Cauldron" and the Lingshan Giant Buddha have an extraordinary causal relationship.

Lingshan Giant Buddha: Lingshan Giant Buddha is located on Xiaoling Mountain beside Taihu Lake in Wuxi. It is a large-scale and spectacular bronze standing statue of Buddha. The Giant Buddha is one of the five major Buddhas in the five directions of China. During its consecration, many masters came to hold a grand ceremony. It is said that praying and worshiping the Giant Buddha is very effective.
