  1. Main Gate
    Start · Entrance
    Walk the central axis through Chongsheng Temple—the prototype for the "Tianlong Temple" in Jin Yong's novels. Rebuilt on a grand scale along the mountain, its Mahavira Hall gleams with gold; climb up to look back at the Three Pagodas and Erhai Lake. About 1 hour. Why this route: the temple's grandeur contrasts with the weathered pagodas, and the high view back over pagodas and lake is superb.
  2. Three Pagodas
    about 10 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
  3. Juying Pool
    about 320 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Enter at the gate and first see the Three Pagodas standing like a tripod, then go to the Reflection Pool: the pagodas mirrored in the water with Cangshan and blue sky in frame—the most classic angle for "Dali's Three Pagodas." About 40 minutes. Why this route: the pool's reflection is Dali's signature shot—check off this classic spot first.
  4. Chongsheng Temple
    about 320 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
  5. Yutong Guanyin Hall
    about 110 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Visit the Rain-Copper Guanyin Hall: the multi-meter Guanyin statue inside is a Buddhist art treasure from the Dali Kingdom era; from the front you can overlook the Three Pagodas. About 30 minutes. Why this route: the Rain-Copper Guanyin witnesses the glory of Dali Kingdom Buddhism and distills Chongsheng Temple's cultural depth.
