Yanta Pagoda (Chuxiong)
楚雄雁塔
An ancient pagoda southeast of Chuxiong's old town, originally a Qing-era pagoda built to promote learning. It is close to the prefectural museum and Confucian temple, so it's easy to see on a walk through the old town.
The Chuxiong Yanta (Wild Goose Pagoda) stands on a small hill southeast of the old town of Lucheng. It is a brick pagoda built in the Qing dynasty to foster scholarship, and it is one of the few surviving historic structures in Chuxiong's old town. The surrounding area has been turned into a small park. The pagoda itself is modest in size, and it works well as part of a half-day cultural walk with the nearby Chuxiong Prefecture Museum and Chuxiong Confucian Temple. Admission is free, and you can reach it on foot or by bicycle from the museum.
