At the foot of the Zhonghe Peak of the Cangshan Mountain just one kilometer to the northwest of the ancient city of Dali stand three pagodas, which are an emblem of the city’s venerated history. The tallest of the trio, which is 69.13 meters tall, was built in 836 AD, and the two smaller ones were built during a late period. Visitors go to Dali usually visit Three Pagodas of Chongshen Monastery.
