Chongsheng Three Pagodas Temple, located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain in Yunnan Dali and by the Erhai Lake, is a witness to the history of the Dali Kingdom. This place was once the prototype of the Tianlong Temple in the Dali Kingdom in 'Tianlong Babu', and its thousand-year history is full of mystery and legend. Despite the damage suffered by the temple in the wars and disasters of the past dynasties, the three pagodas that have weathered thousands of years of vicissitudes are still well preserved. Walking into the Chongsheng Three Pagodas Temple is like stepping into a long river of history. Every brick and tile, every pagoda and statue, is full of a strong sense of history and unique cultural charm.

☘️The scenic area is composed of two parts. The first half is called the Three Pagodas area, which is larger and the buildings are more dispersed; Chongsheng Temple was burned down during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, only the three pagodas were well preserved. The second half is Chongsheng Temple, which is smaller and the buildings are more concentrated. ☘️The Three Pagodas are composed of one large and two small towers. The large tower is also known as Qianxun Tower, and the local people call it "Wenbi Tower". It was built during the Nanzhao period of the Tang Dynasty and is a typical hollow square brick tower with dense eaves in the Dali area. The three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple combine three functions, and the tower-building art is at its peak, with extremely high historical, cultural and architectural value. ☘️The Three Pagodas face Erhai Lake to the east and Cangshan Mountain to the west. In history, 9 emperors of Dali became monks here. The Tianlong Temple in Mr. Jin Yong's novel "Tianlong Babu" is based on Chongsheng Temple. In the book, Tianlong Temple is the royal temple of Dali, with a grand and solemn momentum, and the real Chongsheng Temple is just like this.

| Hidden in Dali in winter. Travel | Enjoy the comfort of being hidden in the city. - I went to Dali a while ago Coincidentally, it was gloomy for the first two days when I just arrived Came here looking at many beautiful pictures online but felt very disappointed The children could only play Lego and watch cartoons in the homestay There is no air conditioning and heating in Dali in winter It all depends on a heater. Even more sad - So, I suddenly thought about going to visit Dali in the continuous rain Experience a different scenery So I booked tickets for the Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas The quiet temple did not break the incense because of the rain Tourists worship devoutly one by one I was wearing a scarf, wearing a woolen coat, and holding a transparent umbrella Walking up the steps of the stairs at a leisurely pace I actually felt like I was filming a mysterious and charming female protagonist's movie The camera slowly slides from the feet to the roof of the temple The movie ends (the heroine's dream wakes up, hehe) - The advantage of renting a car and driving by yourself is that it is as free as the wind Driving past a large field, passing a small manor Pushing the wooden door will ring the bell, telling the owner that someone is coming Everything seems unintentional and so unreal The boss said it was cold, so he lit the fire pit. Come in and warm up The northerners thought they could describe a piece of charcoal so beautifully I was intoxicated (exaggerated but not too exaggerated) The small house bends over and crosses the small door Inside is the decoration, lighting, and atmosphere only on TV And a golden retriever, holding up the cute facade - 🥨About the hunter's cabin (I named it myself) ▪️💰 | 88/person, charged by the seat ▪️🚗 | 2-3 kilometers from the ancient city ▪️🌨️ | The weather is cold and will light the fire pit ▪️☎️ | The location of the fire pit is shared ▪️✍️ | The name is Rainbow Manor - After sitting for a while, I went to the nearby ancient city to eat mushroom soup pot The waitress spoke in a heavy accent and told us how to eat Every sip of soup is so fresh that it shakes its head, it's so delicious It's a taste that can't be brought back and bought at home Unexpectedly, the hot pot star came to Yunnan and returned to his hometown! - After eating hot pot, I just walked around the ancient city to digest This damn sudden romance makes me happy and return - So what is the meaning of travel? At present, recording with the eyes has far surpassed the lens Some feelings are a kind of relief obtained in a different way.

#chinatrip The Three Pagodas of Dali are well-known in China for their grandeur and historical significance. 🏯 The central Pagoda, constructed approximately 1,150 years ago, stands as one of the tallest in the country. 🌟 The surrounding area is vast, filled with temples, offering a serene atmosphere for exploration. 🚶♂️🚌 We chose to walk up and then took the shuttle bus back down for 20 rmb each. 🚶♀️🚌 Fun Fact: In 1925, a powerful earthquake struck Dali, yet the three Pagodas remained unscathed. 🌍 Entrance Fee: 75 per person at the ticketing office near the entrance. Address: 214 National Road, Dali. Directions: We walked from Dali Old Town, which took us about 40 minutes. Alternatively, you can easily get there by didi. 🚗 Enjoy your visit! 🌺

After a thousand years of vicissitudes and weathering, earthquakes, and wars, the Three Pagodas of Dali stand tall, becoming the perfect scenery that 'eternally guards the mountains and rivers.' The Chongsheng Temple behind it is a very large monastery, which was destroyed at the end of the Qing Dynasty and rebuilt in 2005. Chongsheng Temple is probably the largest monastery I have ever visited. I bought a sightseeing car ticket, which comes with a free tour guide (you can also choose not to have a guide and just take the car directly). The guide is said to be from a Buddhist college. I don't know much about it, so I won't comment on the guide, but in the end, they talk about hanging copper bells, saying something about Buddhist blessings, and eventually, the copper bells will be melted down to make something. I didn't listen carefully; as soon as they started selling things, I left. Everyone can make their own choice.

When in Dali, one of the must-visit attractions is The Chongaheng Temple and a the Three Pagoda Culture Tourist Area. It’s actually a much larger complex than I expected, and makes for a great afternoon activity. The Three Pagodas (which are an iconic view) are easily seen at the very start of the complex, but be sure to keep walking through as you will also get to gaze upon old relics and really colourful temple buildings too! Entry Price: 75 RMB (includes a one way shuttle bus ride) 📍Dali, Yunnan #leaveyourmark

Dali city is a county level city that actually encompasses all the settlements surrounding the Erhai Lake. The modern central part is located in the south and is your most probable entry point since the bus and train stations are located there. That part is also probably the one you will be least interested in. Although it's coastal area does have nice views and some fancy hotels most travelers head out to one of the smaller places around the lake, most notably the Dali Old Town. Dali Old town is technically a tourist center and most travelers choose to stay in or around it. The famed three pagodas as well as the starting point for climbing CangShan are all located near the Old Town. The town itself is nice enough and rather big. The fact that it is not pedestrianized and that pavements are very often blocked with stalls and parked cars does make it a bit hectic, especially in the high season, so staying on the fringes of it is probably a better option. To be honest, most of the things we wanted to see and do In Dali had nothing to do with the Old Town itself. It is a good place to eat and drink though, although 'tourist surcharge' will most certainly apply. If you have not arrived by car, renting an e-bike for exploring short distances is actually a good idea. The three of us got on one e-bike and squeezed it out of all of its juice while exploring around. So much so, that we actually had to recharge on the way because the declared 70km range probably did not refer to a 160kg+ weight-load. Great way to discover surrounding villages that offer a bit more authenticity and bit less crowds that the Dali Old town.Most of the town pictures you see above(5-6-7) are actually from XiZhou (喜洲古镇) a smaller village further north really worth a visit. Quite a lot of people also like renting one of the pink convertibles and I suppose it is a good way to reach farther as well as take that ever so important Instagram photos. I would come here again. The place does offer some real peace and quiet as well a serene landscape, even though it is often hidden by noise of the crowds and commerce. #wintergetaway

Getting There - I took an electric bike, you really can't miss it. Attractions - it was 75¥ to get in. The Pagodas are amazing and beautiful, but definitely check out the bazillion temples. It's worth it to get to the third highest temple. The very top was closed when I went with my friends.
