Golden Temple, 金殿, Kunming,

 太和宫金殿,又名铜瓦寺,坐落在昆明城东北郊鸣凤山,俗名鹦鹉山。鸣凤山原名相度山,明万历年间始创太和宫金殿以后,改称鸣凤山,系明代以来云南著名的道观风景名胜区。



Located on top of Mingfeng (Singing Phoenix) Hill is the home of the Taoist Taihe Palace (Hall of Supreme Harmony), which is the largest copper temple in China. It is also known as the Tongwa Temple (Bronze Tile Temple) and by its popular name, the Golden Temple.
