About Kunming

Kunming is the capital of Yunnan province in China located at the northern edge of the large Lake Dian. Because of its year-round temperate weather, Kunming is often called the "Spring City."

Just recently it has renewed attention, launching itself into becoming an international hub essential to China's access to different areas of South and Southeast Asia. Several railroads and highways have been planned to connect Kunming to areas of Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos, providing Kunming access to sea ports.

GOLDEN TEMPLE
Kunming, Yunnan Province

 
The Golden Temple lies 7 miles northeast of Kunming. The Golden Temple is surprisingly small, but exquisite. Built in 1602 and then moved to this hill in 1637. Its present form was cast in 1671. Weighing 250 tons, it is the largest bronze work of architecture in China. Double-tiered, 25 feet wide, 21 feet high, ensconced on two platforms of marble, the Golden Temple has a dark patina and looks its age. Inside, the statue of the Zhengwu Emperor, with a Gold Boy and a Gold Girl on either side, dominates the altar. An image of a fierce tortoise and a snake guard the altar.
