Three Pagodas - Dali, China

Built during 823-840 AD by King Quan Fengyou of Nanzhao Kingom.  These three pagodas were built to guard against natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods, as per descriptions on the pagoda: "Forever Control Mountains and Rivers". 

The three pagodas are made of one big pagoda and two smaller pagodas, forming a symmetric triangle. Behind the pagodas, is a reflection pond which gives these three pagodas an exquisite picture!
