Located approximately 1.2 kilometers away from the North Gate of Dali Ancient City, the Three Pagodas stand as a magnificent testament to Dali’s rich history and cultural heritage. Dating back to the time of the Nanzhao Kingdom in the 10th century, these iconic structures have endured for over 1,380 years, becoming a symbol of the region’s enduring legacy.

When viewed from a distance, the Three Pagodas command attention, resembling three towering ballpoint pens amidst the breathtaking landscape of Yunnan’s verdant mountains and sprawling rice fields. Their majestic presence punctuates the horizon, evoking a sense of awe and wonder.
