The most magical place in Dali, a pagoda without a foundation | Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple

Chongsheng Temple is located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, where the ancient temple and the majestic mountain blend together. The temple offers a panoramic view of the sparkling Erhai Lake, and the road in front of the temple winds its way to the lakeside. The three pagodas in the temple are mysterious and extraordinary, standing without a foundation. It is said that the pagoda cracked during a major earthquake and then miraculously rejoined, which amazed the world.
