The Fotu Temple Pagoda, commonly known as the "Snake Bone Pagoda," stands in Yangping Village, Xiaguan, Dali, at the eastern foot of the Xiyang Peak of Cangshan. It is a thirteen-story, dense-eave, square, hollow brick pagoda built during the Nanzhao period (approximately 823–840 AD), with a total height of 30.07 meters. The pagoda takes its name from the temple; its form is simple and archaic, and its style is similar to the Qianxun Pagoda of Chongsheng Temple. In 2006 it was listed as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level. For a long time, local people confused it with the legend of "Duan Chicheng Slaying the Python"; after repairs in 1981, textual research on the inscriptions on the pagoda body led to its official designation as the "Fotu Temple Pagoda."
