Trip Moments in Dali Prefecture
Dali is wonderful | But I honestly won't be back
āHonestly, Dali's beauty truly brings the "Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon" to life.ā
We absolutely loved our visit to the Chongsheng Temple and Three Pagodas in Dali! šÆā¤ļø It ended up being one of our favourite places we visited in the area. Of course, the famous Three Pagodas are beautiful and impressive, especially with the mountains rising behind them. But what surprised us most was everything that comes after the pagodas. The complex is absolutely huge! As you continue walking uphill, you discover temple after temple, beautiful courtyards, statues, gates and traditional architecture. Every time we thought we had reached the end, there seemed to be another temple waiting for us. š The higher you go, the better the views become. Looking back towards the Three Pagodas, Dali and Erhai Lake with the mountains surrounding you is just incredible. ā°ļø The combination of the scenery and the temples makes the whole place feel very special. We especially loved the temples themselves. They were peaceful, colourful and beautifully detailed, and it was nice to take our time walking through the different parts of the complex rather than just coming for a quick photo of the pagodas. Be prepared for quite a bit of walking and plenty of steps, especially if you want to explore all the way to the top! š But it is absolutely worth it. If youāre visiting Dali, we would definitely recommend giving yourself a few hours here rather than only stopping to see the Three Pagodas. The pagodas might be the famous attraction, but for us the entire temple complex was the real highlight. šÆāØ One of our favourite experiences in Dali! ā¤ļø#dali #threepagodasdali
