The Eastern and Western Pagodas are two pagodas, only about 200 metres apart, in the southern part of Kunming, Yunnan, China. Also known as the Pagoda of the East Temple and the Pagoda of the West Temple, they were constructed in the late eighth or early ninth century AD, under the rule of the Kingdom of Nanzhao. Wikipedia
This was one of the few photos taken by my later father, Leung Chung-Yee, some time after WWII before he was repatriated by BAAG back to Hong Kong. I have no idea of where these photos were taken except noted as Kunming by my father.
