Dragon Spirits - The Bell Tower

A Bell Tower in the heart of Xi'an, China. Legend has it that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang (First Emperor of the Ming Dynasty) built this Bell Tower on top of a gigantic dragon held in check by a 300m chain. Bell Towers were built all over china to repress dragon spirits. This shot was taken from our hotel room in Xi'an.
