Dengjue Temple
等觉寺
A Ming-dynasty Buddhist temple in the old town, with twin pagodas standing in front. It is a national key cultural relic and is near the Nanzhao Museum.
Dengjue Temple lies in the northeast of the Weishan old town. It was first built during the Ming dynasty and retains its mountain gate, main hall and other structures. Two brick pagodas stand facing each other in front of the temple and form part of the old town's skyline. The temple is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit. The site also houses the Nanzhao Museum, which displays the origins of the Nanzhao kingdom and cultural relics from Weishan's history, offering a way to understand why Weishan is called the birthplace of Nanzhao. It is about a 5-minute walk from Gongchen Tower. Opening hours should be confirmed on site.
