Last post for the morning. These are the Bells of Marquis Su of Jin. They date from the King Li Reign, in the Westrn Zhou province in the mid 9th Centry BC!! When I see things from 3 thousand years ago in Western museums, the objects never represent as much civilazation. It's just amazing how long ago a rich cultural heritage was established here.

Since I'm already eating the 10 bucks on the internet for the day, I'll hopefully post some Beijing pictures when I get back to the hotel tonight.
