The Eastern and Western Pagodas (东寺塔与西寺塔; Dongsi Ta / Xisi Ta) are two pagodas, only about 200 metres (660 ft) apart, in the southern part of Kunming, Yunnan, China. Also known as the Pagoda of the East Temple (25.0320°N 102.7106°E / 25.0320; 102.7106 (Pagoda of the East Temple)) and the Pagoda of the West Temple (25.0319°N 102.7067°E / 25.0319; 102.7067 (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.
