What travelers say:

Chongsheng Temple, east to Bohai Sea, west to Cangshan Mountain. Chongsheng Temple was built in the Nanxun period. After the Nanxun, Dali State, Buddhism is more developed than Nanxun, known as the "Buddhist State". After the completion of Chongsheng Temple, it will be the center of Buddhist activities during the Nanxun and Dali State period. The "sacred" of Chongsheng Temple was Guanyin. At that time, Dali area was extremely successful in worshiping Guanyin. Nine of the 22nd emperors of Dali had gone to Chongsheng Temple to become monks. Chongsheng Temple burned down during the Qingxianfeng years, and only three towers were intact. To change the situation of pagodas without temples, the Dali Bureau of Culture rebuilt Chongsheng Temple in 2004. The three towers of Chongsheng Temple are composed of one big and two small. The big tower is called the Chitose Pagoda. Built in the period of Quan Fengyou in Nanlu (823 ~ 859 AD), it is a 16-level square dense hollow brick tower, which is a typical Tang Dynasty architectural style, and the tower is 69 meters high. The appearance of the two small towers in the north and south are conical, which is a typical Song Dynasty architectural style. It was built in the Zhengyan and Duan Zhengxing period (AD 1108 ~ 1172), all 42 meters high, and is a pair of 10-level octagonal dense brick towers.
