Xumi pagoda and the bell tower in Kaiyuan Temple in Zhengding, Hebei province, China.


This temple dates from AD 540 but was destroyed in 1966, the first year of the Cultural Revolution. Little remains apart from a bell tower and the dirt-brown Xumí Pagoda, a well-preserved, nine-eaved structure (dating from AD 636) topped with a spire.
