This is a landmark of the city
Haha, when I saw the first one, I thought of “Golden Horse and Blue Rooster”.
Jinma Biji Fang Editor: Jinma Biji Fang is located at the intersection of Sanshi Street and Jinbi Road in the center of Kunming. It is 12 meters high and 18 meters wide, with exquisitely carved beams and painted rafters. The eastern section faces Jinma Mountain and is therefore called Jinma Fang, while the western section is adjacent to Biji Mountain and is known as Biji Fang; it serves as a symbol of Kunming. Jinma Biji Fang was built during the Xuande era of the Ming Dynasty, and it has a history of nearly 400 years to this day. As the sun set, its afterglow shone on Biji Fang from the west, and its reflection appeared on the streets to the east ; At the same time, the moon had just risen in the east, its silver light shining on Jinma Fang and casting its reflection on the streets to the west ; The shadows of the two archways gradually approach each other, eventually overlapping. This is the magnificent spectacle that occurs only once every 60 years. It is said that this wonder appeared once during the Daoguang era of the Qing dynasty. Due to the angular relationships in the orbits of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, such a sight occurs only once every 60 years. "The design of Jinma Biji Fang reflects the achievements of ancient Yunnan people in mathematics, astronomy, and architecture. The original Jinma Biji Fang was destroyed during the turmoil of 1997; the current Jinma Biji Fang was rebuilt in 1998 on the original site in its original style.
