Dengjue Temple is located in the northeast corner of Weishan Ancient City, Weishan Yi and Hui Autonomous County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It was built during the Nanzhao Kingdom period and is the largest Buddhist temple in Weishan. The existing buildings mainly include the twin towers and the Sun Palace. The Sun Palace was built in the 16th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty and was funded by the Zuo chieftain. It is a single-eave and Xieshan-style building. The front and the left and right eaves are all set with heavy five-step bucket arches. The back eaves are decorated with vertical pillars and flower panels. Majestic.

There are more authentic monuments in Weishan Ancient City than Dali and Lijiang. The Nanzhao Museum is located on the east side of the ancient city. It is located on the original site of Dengjue Temple, a national cultural preservation unit in the Ming Dynasty. The building itself is a historical site, unlike the "new monuments" of some famous "old cities". In addition to the display of historical relics of Nanzhao, the model of Weishan ancient city and the protection of ancient buildings, there are also free professional explanations. We have dedicated an hour to explain the history of Nanzhao and the history of Weishan ancient city that we have not understood before. The simple folk customs are touching.
Now it is the Nanzhao Museum, with some Nanzhao history on display. The Sun Palace should be a Ming Dynasty building that has just been restored and is full of quaint atmosphere. The restoration is very very professional. There are two courtyards on the left and right of the Sun Palace, and there is another artistic conception.
Dengjue Temple now only leaves the Twin Towers and the Sun Palace, which basically belong to the Nanzhao Museum, but there is a wall between the Twin Towers and the Sun Palace. The Sun Palace, built in the Yongle Year of the Ming Dynasty, is simple and majestic. The wooden doors displayed in the hall are exquisitely carved and entrust many beautiful meanings.
