Song Dynasty White Pagoda, a millennium historical landmark of Nanchong city

🏯"Before the rooster crows, the bell arrives first, urging the smoke from thousands of households in the river city." This verse describes the "White Pagoda Morning Bell," one of the ancient eight scenic spots of Nanchong by the Jialing River.
