1. Chongsheng Three Pagodas
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 516 reviews
Reviewed By Travdon - Philadelphia, United States
The grounds of this complex are sprawling, and you could easily spend half a day exploring. The three pagodas are great to see, as they've been standing for over 1000 years. But after you pass those, there are myriad temple buildings to explore. There are some buildings stuffed with numerous gold-coated statues of various individuals - not really sure what it was or who they were, but they were interesting to see. The path continuously hikes upwards, and you have to navigate several sets of steps, but it's worth it. Some buildings you can walk up to the top and have great views of the lake and city. The entrance fee to the complex is 75 RMB/person, plus an additional 35 RMB if you want a shuttle to take you from the three pagodas to the main temple (not worth it, as the leisurely stroll is part of the fun).

Reviewed By mattodowd - Beijing, China
This is a really beautiful temple within the Shibaoshan area (see separate review). You catch a shuttle bus or walk 2km from the entrance to Shibaoshan, then climb up a hill to see the temple. There are monkeys on the way up - they will not harm you but they might steal your food! Would recommend around 2 hours to see this.

Near to old town, approximately 15 mins drive. Car chartered rmb50 for return trip. Entrance fee (Incl 2 cable cars rmb160), it took approximately 40mins to reach the summit. Some people get altitude sickness, must buy oxygen in advance, if the car organised by accomodation, they will provide oxygen (about rmb30), it is refundable if unused the oxygen. The view is spectacular, just look the photo, a must if visit shangrila.
