Photo taken on Feb. 26, 2021 shows the World Peace Bell at Kofukuji Temple in Nagasaki, Japan. A huge bell donated by China's Fujian Province has been installed Friday in the belfry of a temple in Nagasaki City, southern Japan, as a symbol of peace and China-Japan friendship. The World Peace Bell is about 1.2 meters in diameter, 2 meters high and weighs 2.5 tons. Due to its large weight, the installation process was relatively difficult. With the hard work of several dozen workers, the installation was completed around 3 p.m. local time (0600 GMT) at Kofukuji Temple. The bell was designed by Wanfu Temple in Fujian, a Buddhist temple on Mount Huangbo in Fuqing in China's Fujian Province, in recognition of ties dating back more than 360 years. (Xinhua/Du Xiaoyi)
