One of those sites was the fabulous Hubei Provincial Museum. This is an incredible repository of artifacts that predated Christ. One of those treasures, were ancient bells uncovered in 1978 dating to 433 BC. These 65 bronze bells were suspended on 3 frames and divided into 8 groups (heaviest musical instrument in the world).
We were treated to a bell performance (using replicas of the originals) so we could get a taste of the beautiful melodies made by these bells.
It is pretty mind blowing how so many artifacts have survived thousands of years and the lacquerware is still intact.
Back onboard, we got a tour of the bridge:
