China: Part of the Xisi Ta (West Pagoda) complex, Kunming, Yunnan Province

The Bai-style Xisi Ta or West Pagoda dates originally from the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907), but at this time Kunming was part of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Nanzhao (also Nanchao and Nan Chao) was a Buddhist kingdom that flourished in what is now southern China and Southeast Asia during the 8th and 9th centuries.
