Jinma bijifang arches are one of the three famous arches in downtown Kunming. These ones were located very close to our hotel on the edge of the pedestrian village. The village is an old style tea shop community where you can buy local tea leaves, old style instruments, pots and pans, jewelry, precious stones and more. The community is really beautiful and has a pretty garden at the center that you can walk around. The community is beautiful both during the day when all the markets are active and at night when it is lit up by many lanterns. I would recommend getting some local style milk tea or dao coffee in one of the small drink stands. #passionpassport

Kunming is a city with a long-standing cultural history, yet ancient architecture is not commonly seen within the city. Among them, the most exceptional is the 'Pin' Character Triple Arches located at the center of Kunming. The so-called 'Pin' Character Triple Arches refer to the Jinma Archway, Biji Archway, and Zhong'ai Archway. These three exquisite arches are arranged in the shape of the Chinese character '品' (pin), with Jinma and Biji Archways standing opposite each other on the square, while Zhong'ai Archway stands alone near the Nanping Pedestrian Street. These three arches outline the skeleton of the old city of Kunming. The 'Pin' Character Triple Arches have a long history, dating back to the Ming Dynasty, and have always been a symbol of Kunming.

To avoid the cold, I flew from the north to the south and spent the Spring Festival warmly in various places in Yunnan. The Golden Horse and Jade Rooster, built during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, has a history of more than 400 years. It is composed of two archways, the Golden Horse Archway and the Jade Rooster Archway. The east archway is named the Golden Horse Archway because it faces the Golden Horse Mountain, and the west archway is named the Jade Rooster Archway because it is near the Jade Rooster Mountain. The archway is 12 meters high and 18 meters wide, with carved beams and painted buildings, exquisite and unparalleled. It is a landmark and symbol of Kunming, Yunnan. When the sun is about to set, the afterglow shines on the Jade Rooster Archway from the west, and its reflection is cast on the street on the east side; at the same time, the moon just rises from the east, and the silver light shines on the Golden Horse Archway, casting its reflection on the west side street. The shadows of the two archways gradually move closer and finally intersect each other. Due to the angle relationship of the rotation of the earth, moon, and sun, such a landscape appears once every 60 years. It is said that this spectacle appeared once during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. The two archways are about tens of meters apart, both are gate-style wooden archways, with flying eaves and corners, standing together with the Loyalty and Love Archway, forming a "品" character three archways. After the Golden Horse and Jade Rooster archways were built, they were repeatedly destroyed by wars or man-made destruction, and were rebuilt many times. The current Golden Horse and Jade Rooster were rebuilt in 1998 at the original site in the original style. 🎫Tickets: Free ⏰Time: Open all day 🚗Transportation: You can take buses No. 90, 161, 207, 148, 98, etc.

The most worthwhile place to go to Kunming at night is the Golden Horse and Chicken Restaurant. On the Jinbi Square in the center of Kunming, there are two archways. The east side is close to Jinma Mountain called Jinma Weifang, and the west side is close to Biji Mountain, so it is called Bijifang. Jin Ma Fang is engraved with galloping horses and Xianglong unicorns and other beasts, symbolizing wealth; Biji means the phoenix, symbolizing the peace of the world. Many tourists come here to take photos. The night falls, the lights are on, the two arches will be lit by the lights, the Golden Horse Square becomes the golden archway, and the Bijifang shows the blue light. The two arches stand opposite each other, and the gold and silver complement each other, which is very gorgeous. In addition, at night, the nearby night market stalls are also very lively. Not only are there special snacks in Yunnan, but also the rice cakes, flower cakes, and various souvenir gadgets. It is worth a visit. Location: Intersection of Zhengyi Road and Jinbi Road, Xishan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province Transportation: Take Bus No. 3 and No. 4 and get off at Jinmafang.
