Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, Buddhist pagodas in Dali Town, China.

The Three Pagodas of the Chongsheng Temple stand about 1.5 km north of Dali old town, at the east foot of the Cangshan Mountains facing Erhai Lake. The central Qianxun Pagoda is a square brick tower of sixteen eaves, 69.13 m high, with a plain base and a small opening near its top. Two solid octagonal pagodas, each 42.19 m and ten storeys, stand 70 m to its south and north.

The central Qianxun Pagoda was built in the latter half of the 9th century, after the Kaicheng period (836–840), under King Quan Fengyou of Nanzhao. The two smaller octagonal pagodas were added about a century later, during the Kingdom of Dali. The pagodas survived the 1515 earthquake, when Qianxun Pagoda split and reportedly closed again ten days later, and the 1925 earthquake that destroyed most of Dali. The temple itself burned during the Qing dynasty and was rebuilt in 2005.

Local legend says the pagodas were built to subdue dragons that caused disasters in Dali's former swamp. The site is also known as the Reflection Pond, where the three towers are mirrored in the water behind them. In 1978, repairs uncovered over 700 Buddhist antiques, including a gold-winged bird and 133 statues.

The site sits near Dali Ancient City and is easily reached on foot or by bicycle from the surrounding areas. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow time to walk around all three structures to fully explore the details and surroundings.

During extensive restoration work in the 1970s, sealed chambers inside the pagodas were uncovered containing ancient Buddha statues and written scrolls. These findings had remained hidden for centuries and now offer insights into earlier craftwork traditions and spiritual devotion.
