Three Pagodas
崇圣寺三塔
The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are located about 1 km northwest of the ancient city of Dali. They are the only 5A scenic spot in Dali and a symbol of "a famous country with literature". The Three Pagodas were built in the Nanzhao period. The main tower, the Qianxun Pagoda, is about 60 meters high and is one of the tallest existing ancient pagodas. The Three Pagodas still stand after the 1925 earthquake. The words "Eternal Shake the Mountains and Rivers" are engraved under the towers to express the people of Dali's wish for good weather. The "Tianlong Temple" in Jin Yong's "Tianlong Babu" is based on this.
