 Here we are at the beautiful bell tower. The village is famous for it. The bell and the tower are 3 centuries old.

     There used to be an old yard with a bell tower inside it. The buildings in the yard were burnt down in a big fire 150 years ago,and only the tower was left. However,the tower you see now is not that same tower. It was completely built again at the end of last century,but it's been rebuilt exactly like the old one. The bell is the same old bell that was in the old building. The villagers say that the bell sounds the same as it did 300 years ago,and just like 300 years ago,the bell still sounds every evening when the sun goes down. That's why they call it the sunset bell. It can be heard 4 kilometers around.

    People from everywhere come to see and hear the bell. They say the bell brings peace and good luck. Well,I don't know about that. But I know it's brought us good business.
