Panlong Temple
盘龙寺
A Yuan dynasty temple on Panlong Mountain in Jinning, a busy pilgrimage site; its temple fair on the eighth day of the second lunar month is one of the liveliest in central Yunnan.
Panlong Temple is on Panlong Mountain in Jinning District. It was first built in the Yuan dynasty and founded by Master Lianfeng. The temple buildings are stacked up the mountainside, and from the summit you can see Dianchi Lake and the Jinning plain. Incense is very popular here, and locals regard the temple as a place where wishes for good fortune come true. Each year, on the eighth day of the second lunar month, the temple fair draws huge crowds. The temple grounds have ancient camellia trees and Yuan dynasty relics. There are many steps up the mountain, but you can also drive to halfway up. It is about a 1-hour drive from central Kunming, and it can be combined with Zheng He Park on the same day.
