Yunnan history and culture, Beautiful!

#chinaattractions The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple | A symbol of ancient Yunnan history and culture. Dali was an important passage and commercial port from the mainland to Myanmar and India in history. The exchange of merchants and population migration have made Dali a stage for the communication, exchange, and integration of various ethnic groups since ancient times. The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are also a historical witness to the communication, exchange, and integration of various ethnic groups on the land of Cang'er during the Nanzhao Dali period. Qianxun Pagoda: First built during the Nanzhao Kingdom period of the Tang Dynasty (833-840 AD), it is a square, dense eaved, hollow brick pagoda with a total of 16 levels. The tower body is spindle shaped with rounded lines, and there are wooden stairs inside that can spiral upwards, which is a typical Tang Dynasty architectural style. Two small towers in the north and south: built during the reigns of Duan Zhengyan and Duan Zhengxing in Dali Kingdom (1108-1172 AD), both towers are 42.19 meters high and are octagonal 10 story brick towers. Its architectural style reflects the characteristics of the Song Dynasty and, together with the large tower, forms a tripartite structure. The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are not only symbols of ancient history and culture in Yunnan, but also important displays of Buddhist art and ancient architectural techniques. Every time I go to Dali, I go for a walk at Chongsheng Temple. This set of photos was taken four or five times since I first went to Dali in 2017.
