Kunming - Pagoda of the West Temple and Pagoda of the East Temple

(Local Name: Xisi Ta / Dongsi Ta) In the south of the city two pagodas rise up in close proximity to one another, the Pagoda of the West Temple (Xisi Ta) and the Pagoda of the East Temple (Dongsi Ta), both dating from the Tang period (618-907) and both having been faithfully rebuilt after the Muslim uprising of 1868.
