Recently building - China Travel

introduce

The recent building was built in the Yuan Dynasty. It is majestic and magnificent. It was hailed 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, due to the expansion of Dongfeng Road in the center of Kunming from east to west, the recent building was demolished. In order to develop tourism, the Kunming Municipal Government decided to relocate the Jinri Building between the East and West Temple Pagodas for reconstruction. A pedestrian street that restores the style of "old Kunming" will be built. In the middle of the tall city walls and magnificent towers hangs a blue plaque engraved with three golden characters of "RiJiLou".
Since the opening of the pedestrian street, more than 10,000 people have come to this pedestrian street to look for "Old Kunming" every day. What attracts attention on the pedestrian street is a group of "Bronze Statues of a Century-Old Kunming City", including "Caravan" and "Playing Chess". , "Watchman", "Replenishing Bowl" and "Woman Trafficker" are composed of five groups of bronze sculptures. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the front of the building was a place for business travelers, and the name of the street in front of the gate was "Shangshi Street". These sculptures vividly reproduce the appearance of old Kunming back then, solidifying the customs and customs of the year in the modern city, and becoming a landscape that people can't get enough of.
