The Chime-Bells Museum in Wuhan has a collection of 65 chime bells, percussion instruments first invented by the chinese more than 2,000 years ago. The largest bell is 152.3 centimeters tall and weighs 203.6 kilograms. When musicians, clad in ancient costumes, strike the rusty bells with T-shaped or straight wooden sticks to play many beautiful classic tunes, the audience feels like being brought back to times long past.
