It is one of the most important landmark buildings in Dali, consisting of three pagodas: one large and two small, the Reflection Pond, and Chongsheng Temple. The ticket price is around 120 yuan, and there is an electric car service inside the scenic area for 25 yuan. The entrance ticket is a bit expensive, so if you don't particularly want to go inside, you can actually view the Three Pagodas from the outside on Santai Avenue, which offers a better panoramic view.
The ancient town has a strong sense of history, being a Bai ethnic group settlement area with distinctive Bai-style residences as highlights.

Spend a few hours here, wandering the streets, and discovering traces of Bai life...
A place where you can enjoy a 270° view of Erhai Lake: surrounded by water on three sides, with fields, Cangshan Mountain, and Erhai Lake all spread out before you. You can feel the slight bumpiness of the small horse-drawn carriage. This place is not only peaceful and free but also a great spot for photography: romantic couple trees, clusters of reeds, ancient trees, and unrestrained sunlight.
A small island in Haidong, very tiny but quite famous. Legend has it that Guanyin threw the Sea-Calming Seal here to calm the waves and protect local fishermen. The island features a two-story pavilion, with one floor dedicated to Guanyin and the other to Buddha. From November to April each year, flocks of seagulls circle around Xiaoputuo. Whether you visit in the early morning or at dusk, it is easy to encounter the holy light of Jesus here.
