The base of the three towers of Chongsi Temple is square, surrounded by stone pillars, and stone lions are carved at the four corners of the stone pillars. There is a stone in the middle of the east facing the wall, with the words "Yongzhen Mountains and Rivers" written on it, which is quite charming. The main tower of the third tower is called Chihiro Tower, which is a square 16-story dense eaves tower with a bottom width of 9.9 meters and a height of 69. 13 meters. The top of the tower is covered with a copper bowl with a pagoda temple on it. It is a typical building in the Tang Dynasty, as famous as the West Wild Goose Pagoda. These three pagodas are said to have been built during the Baohe period of Nanzhao. In recent years, more than 600 important cultural relics of Nanzhao and Dali periods have been found at the top of the tower. The South Tower and the North Tower are located behind the main tower.
The two towers are 97.5 meters and 70 meters away from the main tower respectively, forming a three-tower with legs. Both towers are octagonal eaves hollow bricks with 10 floor and 43 meters high. The Three Pagodas of Chongsi Temple are the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. Tickets: 120 yuan Transportation: Visitors can take the shuttle bus to the third tower of Chongsheng Temple in Shimonoseki, and the fare is 3 yuan. If you go to the scenic spot from the ancient city of Dali, you can choose to walk for only half an hour. You can also go to the three towers by pony, and the cost is 4 yuan; Or take a private car to 1 yuan.
Zhoucheng, the capital of Zhou, is certainly not Dali, nor is it the only family named Zhou. Zhoucheng is Zhoucheng, the largest natural village in Yunnan. There is only one street in Zhoucheng, but the tie-dyeing in Zhoucheng is the most famous in Dali. Here, almost every family has a dye vat, and every family has a tie dye. Tie-dye patterns in other places are mostly regular and symmetrical geometric figures, while tie-dye in Zhoucheng, flowers, grass, insects and fish can't be put into the cloth.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, tie-dyeing has become a folk fashion in Bai areas, and tie-dyeing products have also become the tribute of the emperor. Zhoucheng preserved and developed this ancient craft. Tie-dyeing is also very cheap in Zhou. Not only is it cheap, but you can also pick and choose in the owner's warehouse. June 25th of the lunar calendar is the Torch Festival of the Bai people in Zhoucheng. Next to the big green tree in the middle of the village, a fire started early in the morning, covered with Song Ming, colored paper and pears, reaching the sky. There are countless small torches next to it. At night, clusters of flames gather together, and the flying rosin pops up a lot of sparks, making an expanding sound. You sprinkle me with a handful of rosin and I'll give you a piece of Mars. People are screaming and chasing around, and girls flirt with boys (locals call this respect).
Foreigners are more professional in spreading rosin than Dali people. The fire reddened the sky in Zhoucheng. Rosin sparks don't hurt people, but they leave small eyes on chemical fiber clothes. However, these are small holes of blessing. Zhoucheng is famous for its hot and sour fish. The wild crucian carp in Erhai Lake is cooked with dried papaya slices and Chili noodles. Soup is sour and spicy, and meat is sweet. The fish in Duan Er Duan San are all good. Oh, by the way, the famous butterfly spring is also in our village. Look, I'm not from the country. I'm Zhou.
Tip: 1. In Dali, the Yi people celebrate the Torch Festival on June 24th, and the Bai people celebrate the Torch Festival on June 25th. Why do Bai people celebrate the same festival one day later than Yi people? There are many sayings in the Jianghu. I believe this one: more than a thousand years ago, the fourth king of Nanzhao, Pelog, decided to annex five other imperial edicts in Erhai area by force. On June 24th, he invited five imperial edicts to the Songming Building to worship their ancestors together, and took the opportunity to burn the Songming Building and kill the five imperial edicts. The five imperial edicts went on, and Pelog was wiped out in one fell swoop. Pirog is a Yi nationality in Weishan, Dali, so the day when the Yi people celebrate their victory is June 24th.

Cangshan, also known as Diancang Mountain, was called Cangshan and Diancang Mountain in ancient times. It is the main peak at the southern end of Yunling Mountains. From Deng Chuan and Eryuan in the north to Tiansheng Bridge in Xiaguan in the south, it consists of 19 peaks. It is about 50 kilometers long and stands like a green barrier on the west bank of Erhai Lake. In the eighth century AD, Wang Yimou Xun of Nanzhao imitated the practice of the Central Plains regime, naming Nanzhao's famous mountains and rivers as Five Mountains and Four Shames, and Diancang Mountain as Zhongyue. The 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain are magnificent, which is in sharp contrast with the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake. The order of their peaks from north to south is: Yunnong, Canglang, Wutai, Lotus, Baiyun, He Yun, Sanyang, Lanfeng, Snowman, Le Ying, Guanyin, Zhonghe, Longquan, Yuju, Malone, El Nino, Foding, Horse and Sunset.
These peaks are generally above 35,000 meters above sea level, of which 7 are above 4,000 meters above sea level, and the highest Malong Peak is 4 122 meters above sea level. Cangshan * * * has 19 peak. Between every two peaks, a stream flows downstream into Erhai Lake. This is the famous eighteen streams. The order of streams is Xiayi, Wanhua, Yangxi, Mangyong, Jinxi, Lingquan, Baishi, Shuang Yuan, Yinxian, Meixi, Taoxi, Xizhong, Lu Yu, Longxi, Qingbi, Mocan and Yangyang. Cangshan Mountain is magnificent and beautiful, vast and deep, and the natural landscape composed of clouds, snow, forests, springs, stones and flowers is fascinating. The mountain scenery is ever-changing, and the most famous is Wang Fuyun and Jade Belt Cloud. Every winter and spring, Wang Miyun often appears in Yufeng Bureau.
After this cloud appeared, the Erhai Lake was rough and set off huge waves, making it impossible for fishing boats to go out to sea. So Wang Miyun is also called Wuduyun. Legend has it that the daughter of Nanzhao King fell in love with a hunter and fled to the top of the Jade Bureau to get married. The princess couldn't stand the cold in the mountains, so the hunter came to the spring temple and stole the mage's robe. It was warm in winter and cool in summer.
After being discovered by the mage luoquan, he entered Erhai Lake and became a stone mule. The princess watched her husband die of depression and turned into a cloud. Whenever this cloud appears, Erhai Lake is hollowed out by turbid waves. This is the princess trying to blow away the sea and seeing her husband buried at the bottom of the sea. Jade belt clouds appeared in late summer and early autumn. Every time we pass through Shan Yu, there are 19 peaks in Cangshan Mountain, forming white clouds that float across the pine forest, gradually gather in the middle of Cangshan Mountain, and quickly extend to both ends, turning into a white jade belt that lasts for hundreds of miles and lasts forever. Jade belt cloud is not only charming, but also according to the Bai farming proverb: Cangshan is a jade belt, and hungry dogs eat white rice. Cangshan snow, which lasts all summer, is one of the four famous scenic spots in Dali, and it is also a unique landscape in Cangshan landscape.
In the middle of winter, a hundred miles of gray snow, and in the spring of March, silver jade is still piled on the snow line; The highest peak, Malong Peak, is covered with snow all year round. In midsummer, the mountains and plains are all green, but the peak is still misty and snowy. Bai people took the ancient snow of Yinya from the top of the mountain and mixed it with honey and ebony to make a cool drink for clearing away lung heat and invigorating spleen. Yang Sheng 'an's Poem of Watching the Moon in Southern Yunnan once wrote that Dali sells snow in May: In May, southern Yunnan is beautiful, and the countryside is cool and carefree. People in Shuanghe Bridge sell snow, drink in ice bowls, and mix plum blossoms with honey and dander. Cangshan forest also has its own landscape. This lush mountain area has formed a young forest grassland belt, a pine oak forest belt, a fir miscellaneous wood belt and an alpine grassland belt from bottom to top. The mountain landscape is distinct and the seasonal landscape is changeable.
Cangshan Mountain, named after Cangshan Mountain, stands on the cliffs above 3000 meters above sea level with its lovely figure and temperament of not being afraid of ice and snow. It is the southernmost species of Abies in China and a unique alpine landscape plant in China. Known as the gentleman in the tree. There are many kinds of flowers in Cangshan. Cangshan has eight famous flowers in Yunnan, such as camellia, rhododendron, magnolia, primrose, lily, gentian, orchid and meconopsis. Among them, there are only 4 1 species of rhododendron.
In this sea of flowers, some species are unique to Cangshan, such as lovely azaleas and blueberry azaleas, while others are named after Dali, such as Dali rhododendron and Dali rhododendron gland calyx. The largest species of rhododendron in the world grows on Cangshan Mountain. Cangshan is a natural rhododendron garden. Cangshan spring water is praised. In addition to the continuous stream of 18, there are many alpine moraine lakes on the top of Cangshan Mountain at an altitude of more than 3,800 meters, which are traces left over from the Quaternary Ice Age, among which the famous ones are Ximatan, Huanglongtan and Heilongtan. The pool water is crystal clear, and the flowing spring water is exceptionally clear and bright.
Among the mountains and streams, Qingbi Stream and Su Chi, the Dragon Knight, are the most famous, and poets and poets at all times and all over the world have many exquisite descriptions. Cangshan is also a famous marble producing area. Marble, also known as Cangshan stone, is a kind of limestone with calcium carbonate as the main component and some metallic and nonmetallic impurities such as silicon oxide, magnesium and iron. Marble is exquisite, smooth as fat and beautifully patterned. After polishing, the colored stones that win with patterns present various natural pictures such as landscapes, flowers and birds, people and so on. , and is known as the treasure in the stone. The rest of the huashui stone and white marble are first-class building, decoration and carving materials. So far, a lot of marble from Dali can be seen in the well-preserved Forbidden City and the Ming Tombs in Beijing.
The peaks, cliffs and caves of Cangshan Mountain are all made of various stones, which makes tourists linger. Cangshan is also a paradise for wild animals. The climate here is suitable and the vegetation is dense. There are also a few rare animals such as deer, muntjac, rock sheep, bison, mountain donkey, wild boar, fox and pheasant. Cangshan Mountain is not only a nature reserve, but also a scenic spot. 1992, the local government built Yunyuan Road in Dai Yu at an altitude of 2,600 meters. The tourist route starts from Malong Peak in the south and ends at Leying Peak in the north, with a total length of about 18km. It connects many scenic spots in Cangshan. Visitors can see the strange peaks and rocks of Cangshan Mountain, the waterfalls of Linquan Mountain and the magnificent scenery overlooking Canger Mountain.
Erhai Lake is the main scenic resource of Dali Scenic Area and the most important birthplace of Bai ancestors. So far, more than 30 Neolithic sites have been found in Erhai Lake and its surrounding hillside. Jinsuo Island in Haidong is a famous Neolithic site. Recently, it was discovered that Shuanglang Yuji Island is also an important site of Neolithic Age and Bronze Age. In addition to a large number of stone tools and pottery used in production and life, there are bronze herringbone swords, iron-edged swords with copper handles and pottery models for casting these weapons. It can be inferred that until the Iron Age, it may still be the production base for smelting and casting bronzes by ancient Bai ancestors.
Every era here has its historical heritage, as if we can hear the footsteps of Bai ancestors from Mongolian times to civilization. Therefore, it can also be said that Erhai Lake is the cradle of Bai nationality. Erhai Lake is a beautiful plateau freshwater lake, which was once called Ye Yuze, Kun Mi Chuan and Xi Erhai Lake in ancient literature. The water level is about1972m above sea level, starting from Jiangwei Township, Eryuan County in the north and reaching Xiaguan Town, Dali City in the south. It is shaped like a crescent moon, with a length of 4 1.5km from north to south, a width of 3-9 km from east to west, a perimeter of 1 16km and an area of 25 1 km2. Erhai Lake belongs to the Lancang River system, with Miluo River and Mizi in the north, Boluo River in the southeast and eighteen streams in Cangshan in the west.
Rich in water resources, the catchment area is 2565 square kilometers, the average storage capacity is 2.82 billion cubic meters, the average water depth is 10.5 meters, and the deepest part is 20.5 meters. The lake flows out of Erhai Lake in Xi, into Yangjiang, and then into Lancang River. Erhai Lake is a famous plateau lake in Yunnan Province, with an altitude of1972m. It starts from Jiangwei Township, Eryuan County in the north and ends in Xiaguan, Dali City in the south, covering an area of 248 square kilometers. Looking down from the air, Erhai Lake is like a crescent moon, lying quietly between Cangshan Mountain and Dali Bazi. Erhai Lake has three roads, four continents, five lakes and nine songs. Because of less pollution, the lake is clear and transparent, and it has been called flawless jade in the mountains since ancient times.
Small Putuo Small Putuo is a small island in Erhai Lake. On the sea about 0/0 km north of Jinsuo Island, there is an isolated reef with a pavilion on it. This is Xiao Putuo. This coral reef is like a square seal. It is said that Guanyin left a seal of the sea. Xiaoputuo was built in Ming Dynasty, which is a pavilion-style building. In Erhai Lake, Little Putuo can be said to be a pocket island. Although the island is small, it is very famous, and it is indispensable in the album introducing Dali. The circumference of Xiaoputuo is only over 200 meters, all of which are made of limestone. It is shaped like a round seal, so it is also called Hai Yin. Legend has it that there are many dragons in Erhai Lake, which often cause storms.
This reef is the seal that Guanyin Bodhisattva used to save the dragon. During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, nearby fishermen donated money to build a two-story pavilion on the island, which enshrined the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so people called it Guanyin Pavilion. Why was it later called Xiao Putuo? It is the abbreviation of Putuo Luojiashan in Putuo Sanskrit, which means Hua Xiaobai Mountain or Xiaohuashu Mountain. It is said that Guanyin practiced in India. Therefore, most of the legendary Guanyin holy places are called Putuo Mountain, such as Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. So it was finally renamed Xiao Putuo. Looking at Cangshan Erhai Lake on the small Putuo is like being in a silver plate held up by a white-haired old man, with a very broad mind.
On the sea about 0/0 km north of Jinsuo Island, there is a lonely reef with a pavilion on it. This reef is called Xiao Putuo. This reef is shaped like a square seal and is said to be left by Guanyin. Small Putuo, built in the Ming Dynasty, is a two-story pavilion-style building. The first floor is the Buddha statue, and the second floor is the Guanyin statue. Because Guanyin is the main image here, Xiao Putuo was originally named Guanyin Pavilion and renamed Xiao Putuo because its location is similar to Putuo Mountain, a famous Buddhist mountain, and it is also like Putuo where Guanyin lives in mythology. The best time to visit Xiao Putuo is early morning. At this time, the fog curled up on the sea, and the little Putuo appeared and disappeared, just
Butterfly spring is located at the foot of Cangshan Yunnong Peak, 25 kilometers away from the ancient city, 40 kilometers away from Shimonoseki and 25 kilometers north of Dali ancient city. In the hearts of Bai people, butterfly spring is a fountain symbolizing love and loyalty. Every year, young Bai men and women from all directions come here to cast stones to try the water depth and find their loved ones with songs.

People who love each other don't want to be separated from each other. Finally, they were forced to jump into butterfly spring and become a pair of butterflies. Year after year, they danced tirelessly on the spring and sang about the eternal love between Wengu and Xia Lang. Every year, the fifteenth day of the fourth lunar month is the Butterfly Festival. At that time, thousands of butterflies flew from all directions and danced all over the sky in spring. This is a spectacle.

Foreigner Street is located in the ancient city, and Dali Foreigner Street was originally named Huguo Road, which means that in the early years of the Republic of China, the people of Yunnan opposed Yuan Shikai's claim to be the emperor and fought to defend the country, hence the name. The national highway runs east-west, with a length of 1000m and a width of 7m, with a bluestone pavement. In order to meet the needs of open tourism, Dali ancient city has been designated as the main attraction of open tourism, and Camellia Hotel has been designated as a foreign-related hotel.
