This is the 3 Pagoda area ! Amazing Buddha place

Dreaming of ancient vibes and stunning views? Dali delivers! 🤩 We explored the iconic Chongsheng Temple and Three-Pagoda Culture Tourist Area — easily one of the prettiest spots you’ll ever wander.

Must-See Place: Put The Chongsheng Temple And The Three-Pagoda Culture Tourist Area on your must-visit list! The address is southwest corner of the intersection of Santa Road and Wenbi Road, Dali City (opens daily 07:30–18:30, last admission 17:30; entry is 73RMB). The three pagodas against the mountains genuinely make for perfect photo ops, while the temple grounds themselves are super peaceful for those who love a chill stroll. Don’t skip the museum inside: there’s a stunning golden Buddha statue indoors that’s absolutely worth seeing (bonus tip: it’s a great spot to escape the midday sun!). 🌟

Efficiency tip: Arrive early to avoid tour groups. The grounds are sprawling, so wear comfy shoes and bring a water bottle. If you’re tracking costs, you can buy tickets right at the gate.

Getting Around: Local buses and taxis make reaching the pagoda complex easy, but Didi is great for direct drop-off. Dali’s old town is just a short ride away, so you can pair both in one relaxed day.

Food: Try nearby Bai cuisine restaurants after your temple visit. Don’t miss the Dali yogurt and local grilled fish!

Essential Tips: Cash or mobile payment (WeChat, Alipay) accepted at the gate. The weather flips between sunny and breezy — layer up!
