Jinri Building

The recent building was built in the Yuan Dynasty. It is magnificent and magnificent. It is praised by the old Kunming people as "a tall building close to the sun". It was originally located on the north-south central axis of the old Kunming City. The tower is also the symbol and pride of Kunming, also known as Lizhengmen. In the 1950s, the recent building was demolished due to the expansion of Dongfeng Road in the center of Kunming, which traverses east and west. In order to develop tourism, the Kunming Municipal Government decided to relocate the Jinja Building to the site between the East and West Temple Pagodas for reconstruction. A pedestrian street to restore the "Old Kunming" style was built. The high city wall and the magnificent city tower have a blue plaque inscribed with three large golden characters of "Nearly-day Tower" hanging in the center. Since the opening of the pedestrian street, more than 10,000 people have come to this pedestrian street every day to look for "Old Kunming". What attracts attention on the pedestrian street is a group of "100-year-old Kunming Market Bronze Statues", including "Caravan" and "Playing Chess". It is composed of five groups of bronze sculptures, "The Watchman", "Menning the Bowl" and "Treatment of Women". At the end of the Qing Dynasty, recently, the front of the building was a place for business travelers, and the name of the street in front of the door was called "Shangshi Street". These sculptures vividly reproduce the appearance of the old Kunming in those years, and solidify the customs and customs of the year in the modern city, becoming a scenery that people can't see enough.
