The primary pagoda measures 16.29 meters and the 8 pagodas on the sides look like a group of children nestling around the mother. In each stupa, there is a niche featuring a Buddhist statue and a Buddhist relief, and on top of the niche is a flying phoenix. At the gate of each stupa are two giant dragons engraved out of earth. Bells hung on the stupas give wonderful tinkles in the breezes.

建水朝阳楼即建水东门城楼，雄踞县城中心，成于明洪武二十二年（1389年）至今六百余年，是滇南重镇建水历史悠久的主要标志之一，祖国边陲老重镇的象征。

云南建水朝阳楼建于明洪武二十二年，即1389年，至今六百余年。楼有三层，每层都覆以歇山式屋顶，檐高飞翘，画栋雕梁，巍峨耸峙，流云摩肩，飞霞浮顶，形同首都的天安门城楼。朝阳楼现雄居于县城中心，是滇南重镇建水历史悠久的主要标志之一，祖国边陲老重镇的象征。

朝阳楼城门占地2312平方米，城墙从南至北长77米，从东至西宽26米。城门依地势筑于高岸，楼阁又起于两丈多高用砖石镶砌的门洞之上，楼层高24.5米，进深12.31米，面阔8米，五开间，三进间，迥廊周通，为三重檐歇山顶。檐角飞翘、画栋雕梁、巍峨挺拔、气势雄伟。朝阳楼正面的顶层檐下，东面悬挂清代书法家石屏人涂日卓书写的“雄镇东南”巨匾，“雄镇东南”为清代云南著名的四大榜书之一，也是唯一幸存下来者，每字大近两米，结构笔力冠绝于世 ，笔力刚劲，极有气魄。西面悬摹唐朝草圣张旭“飞霞流云”狂草榜书，笔法龙飞凤舞，潇洒飘逸。雍正《建水州志》载：“东城楼(朝阳楼)高百尺，干霄插天，下瞰城市，烟火万家，风光无际，旭日初升，晖光远映，遥望城楼，如黄鹤，如岳阳，实为南中之大观。”有“雄踞南疆八百里，堪称滇府第一楼”的美誉。

朝阳楼，本地人一般习惯称东门，由于其外观与天安门相似且年代比天安门更早上二十八年，又被称为小天安门。当地流传一个很是让建水人引以为傲的说法：天安门的建造者是朝阳楼建造者的徒弟，将朝阳楼原封不动的复制到北京，并且，为了表示对师傅的敬畏，故把天安门建得比朝阳楼还要矮一层。

历史沿革
唐元和年间南诏政权在此筑惠历城，城系土城。明洪武二十年，明军平定云南后设临安卫，筑临安卫城，在原有土城的基础上拓地改建为砖城。城有四门，东叫迎晖门，南叫阜安门，西为清远门，北为永贞门。明末，西南北三楼毁于战火，仅存东城楼。 朝阳楼由四十八根巨大木柱和无数粗大的楹榫接成坚固的木构架，覆以三重檐歇山屋顶。《建水州志》证有“东楼凌汉”一景，谓：“东城楼，高百尺，干霄插大，下瞰城市，烟火万家，风光无际，旭日东升，晖光远映，遥望城楼，如黄鹤，如岳阳，南中大观。”春夏之间上千雨燕巢居檐下，呢喃之声不绝于耳，蔚为壮观。 朝阳楼正面悬挂清代书法家石屏人涂晫书写的“雄镇东南”巨匾，“雄镇东南”为清代云南著名的四大榜书之一，也是唯一幸存下来者，每字大近两米，结构笔力冠绝于世。 城楼上木雕屏门，雕镂精巧，生动细腻，琦丽华贵城楼东侧为明饼临安卫声闻数里的大铜钟，唐三四千斤高二米余。 朝阳楼风吹雨打六百余年，经历了多次战乱的劫难大地震的考验，至今完好如初。有对联赞“栋字薄云霄雄踞南疆八百里，气势壮河岳，堪称滇府第一楼。”

Sanqing Pavilion (三清阁) is perched on the cliff of Luohan Hill, soaring over 300 meters (approximately 984 feet) above Dianchi Lake. Its breathtaking height and unique architectural style give it the appearance of a “castle in the air.” This temple, deeply influenced by Taoism, symbolizes the loftiest stature associated with ‘Sanqing.’ It serves as a remarkable location for temple visits and offers stunning panoramic views of Dianchi Lake.

Kunming Sanqing Pavilion is located in Luohan Mountain (罗汉山) to the south of Taihua Mountain (太华山). Originally a summer resort for King Yuanliang (元梁王), it was reconstructed as Yuhuang Pavilion (玉皇阁) in the early Ming Dynasty. Subsequent constructions included Sanqing Pavilion, Zhenwu Palace (真武殿), Saint Parents Palace (圣父母殿), Datian Pavilion (大天阁), and others, collectively known as “Sanqing Pavilion.” Today, it is a scenic highlight within Longmen Scenic Area (龙门景区).

Architectural Features

Sanqing Pavilion is a unique group of Taoist architectural complexes initially built as a summer palace for King Yuanliang during the Yuan Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was remodeled into Yuhuang Pavilion, with most existing structures dating back to the Daoguang (道光) and Guangxu (光绪) eras of the Qing Dynasty. The complex comprises thirteen distinct buildings, including:

• Lingguang Palace (灵官殿)
• Sanfeng Hall (三丰殿)
• Lüzu Hall (吕祖殿)
• Yuan Emperor Hall (元帝殿)
• Zhenwu Hall (真武殿)
• Qizhen Hall (七真殿)
• Doumu Pavilion (斗母阁)
• Yuhuang Pavilion (玉皇阁)
• Feiyun Pavilion (飞云阁)
• Baoyi Palace (抱一宫)
• Zhang Xian Hall (张仙殿)
• Laojun Hall (老君殿)

These buildings are arranged in a tiered fashion along the mountainside, creating a striking visual landscape. From a distance, the structure resembles a nest of swallows or honeycombs, appearing to hang delicately.

Location

Sanqing Pavilion is located in the Luohan Mountain area of Kunming, Yunnan (云南昆明). Initially established as a summer retreat for King Yuanliang during the Yuan Dynasty, it was later converted into Yuhuang Pavilion in the early Ming Dynasty. The additional constructions, including Lingguan Hall, Sanqing Hall, and others, have collectively become known as “Sanqing Pavilion.”

Above Sanqing Pavilion, visitors can find the Longmen Grottoes (龙门石窟), which are carved into the sheer cliffs of Luohan Cliff (罗汉崖). These grottoes contain 22 Taoist statues, making them the largest Taoist grotto in all of Yunnan.

Historical Development

Sanqing Pavilion was originally built as a summer retreat for King Yuanliang and evolved into a significant Taoist temple. Over time, it developed into a nine-level, eleven-pavilion structure embedded in the cliff. Visitors ascending from Longmen Village (龙门村) encounter over 1,000 stone steps winding through ancient cypress trees and offering breathtaking views.

Due to its precarious position on a sheer cliff, the buildings rely on hand-hewn stone for stability, with lush greenery against the walls. The design of the pavilions evokes the heavenly abodes of Taoist immortals. The architectural ensemble is complemented by unique stones, natural caves, and clear springs. Among these is the “Filial Cow Spring” (孝牛泉), a site of legend where a butcher’s calf grabbed the knife intended for its mother, leading to a heartfelt act of mercy.

A couplet encapsulating the essence of the site states:
“To be here, one must reach the highest point;
To raise one’s head, one must be above the others.”
这无疑是人生应悟的哲理，但此时也是真实的写照。

Transportation

Visitors can reach the entrance of the scenic area by taking bus route 6 from Liangjiahe (梁家河) or bus route 51 from the Juhua Village (菊花村) bus station. Bus 6 runs every 8 minutes from 6:30 AM to 7:00 PM, while bus 51 operates every 30 minutes from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

To facilitate tourism in the Xishan Scenic Area, the city’s taxi company has organized a fleet of tour buses that depart from the Central Art Theater (艺术剧院) directly to the Nie Er Cemetery (聂耳墓) within the scenic area, with services every 30 minutes from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
