Charming place

A place that should be visited in the evening, or sundown. We had several time our dinner there. As westeners its like we think it was in ancient China. There is a Jade Museum, but i saw that too late.

Not a must see

There are many pagodas in China, which are more beautiful than these two. Would waste my time on it.

This pagoda is one of two at opposite ends of a small shopping/restaurant street in what is now becoming a busy spot of Kunming. Both pagodas are nestled in small gardens with gated entrances. This is well worth the time and is only a 20...More

1100 year old pagoda in Kunming, southwestern China
