🇨🇳Yunnan Province Dali Travel, Thousand Years of Breath Encountered at the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple🪷

#AprilTravelSupport One of the most famous historical sites in Dali, Yunnan Province, is the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple. The three towers standing tall against the backdrop of Cangshan Mountain have a long history in themselves. The Qiancui Tower (千寻塔) in the middle is a large tower about 69 meters tall built during the Tang Dynasty, symbolizing the Buddhist faith of the Dali Dynasty. It is said to contain the wish for Buddhism to prosper and the country to be peaceful. The images of Buddha carved into the square structure were impressive. The two smaller towers standing on both sides were built around the 10th century, each with an octagonal structure. They are said to contain the meaning of preserving and protecting the teachings of Buddhism. The three towers standing in harmony in a triangle seemed to symbolize the power of the law, which relies on and balances each other. The three towers have survived earthquakes, floods, and wars many times, and have remained intact to this day. They seem like guardians of the bridge, and they seem to show unchanging faith over a long period of time, so I looked at them for a long time. As I watched the towers standing quietly, my mind became calm, and I could quietly feel the long flow of time from the past. If you travel to the bridge, I highly recommend you visit at least once.
