If you walk from the Dali old city, the area surrounding the three pagodas park is pretty gritty and rubbly, but this makes entering the park, which is very nicely landscaped and maintained, an extra pleasant experience!

The entrance fee is RMB125! Yes, that's right. This place wins the "Local Chinese Bus Tour Hell" Award. There is nothing good here. You have been... More

A 10 yuan taxi, 1 yuan bus or just a mile walk from the old city of Dali, the complex is more than just 3 Pagodas. Several large & increasingly impressive Bhuddist pavillions climbing ever higher up the mountain side. More of the same on either side ending in the Hall of Mahavira at the top. Lovely gardens & picture... More
