Andy area is a combination of humanities landscape, natural landscape features of tourist attractions.

Andy taihe palace, also known as copper tile temple, located in the northern suburb of kunming city fengshan, common name YingWuShan. Sound fengshan mountain, formerly known as phase Ming wanli was taihe palace after mirage, renamed fengshan, since the Ming dynasty famous Taoist temple scenic spot in yunnan province.
Qing guangxu sixteen years (1890) ShuZao "rebuild taihe palace inscriptional record" detailing the taihe palace to create history: "my south yunnan (kunming) will outside the walls of suiyeh, ten miles from the city, there are mountain mingfeng, and the common name YingWuShan. Before Ming wanli nonyl Yin years (in 1602), Taoist Xu Zhengyuan knocking please yunnan provincial governor Chen utilities, in conjunction with the frenzy qian mu chang elementary, this right mu theory, platform guilds and the mountain, liu modeled after HuGuang wudang mountain peak of peak seventy-two built the Forbidden City, the temple copper smelting, casting for zhenwu father of golden body. Name the palace yue tai, is modelled on the wudang mountain 27 palace name. Installation of three yuan, ring cui two palace at that time, and supplied the holy immortal Buddha, various departments, deep worship seems back. And the house, the" taihe palace "series of. Its ground left Yi show of huashan, golden horse tenghui; right near the shore of the sea, green chicken renewal, alone but as a scenic spot and south yunnan. Township of said, or Andy, or jinding, let it loose and out of the ear."
Is described in this section of the inscriptions on the basis of historical materials, imitation of wudang mountain in hubei was kunming golden time taihe palace, the temple founder, copper smelting, true Wu Jinshen Taoist temple scale, and the sound of the phoenix mountain landform. Thirty years Ming wanli (1602) Taoist Xu Zhengyuan attacking "and please use bing" yunnan provincial governor Chen, Chen bin in conjunction with qian 沐昌祚 frenzy, this right MuRui, platform will liu, reach mingfeng mountain, agreed on imitation of mount wudang taihe palace 27 built. This with Ming wanli let-out years (1604 years) in taihe palace with Chen bing, founder of the "ding tai temple built to remember" is the same. ShuZao inscriptional record of the vernacular narrative, popular, easy to read. With Chen bin inscriptional record chronicle of classical Chinese, it is not easy to read.
ShuZao inscription, puts it: "when installation of three yuan, ring cui two palace" period of inaccurate. Actually create taihe palace, in the first seven years has built "ring jade palace". With Chen bin from the jade ring, said: "more than stroke 3 years, yunnan MingGuan in the jade palace built fengshan ring, including for ge, si lu (lu dongbin), two temple, king, TaoTianJun, ho, liu two fairy and si pavilion." With Chen bin, fujian jinjiang, jinshi, Ming wanli 21 years (1593 years) to the right organization platform to the governor of yunnan. With Chen bing "caresses dian 3 years", namely the twenty-third year of wanli (1595), he "MingGuan in sound built fengshan ring jade palace". Thirty years wanli (1602) "knocking" taihe palace with Chen bing built mirage "Taoist Xu Zhengyuan", is the Taoist priest rings jade palace.
As with Chen bin ding tai temple built to remember stated: "the nine years of and caresses dian", namely thirty years wanli (1602), with Chen bin "kai BuSheng dongcheng, of the mountains between the original a few no when a shekel xu, delay in ring, the true qi english-english, even curled jade ring left, ammonites Laura, comfortable colour pheasant from the central disk, jade bureau now, no light yue also Bi to wipe?" With Chen bin kai 沐昌祚, MuRui, liu will climb of the mountain, BuSheng location, jade palace "even curled ring left" is to the mountain. This clear, Ming wanli 30 years with Chen bing site for taihe palace, jade ring. Taihe palace mirage, three yuan gong Ming started building 30 years (1602), "beginning completed, all with Wang Zhengzhi month, just a load and repair". "Wanli let-out, spring the JiDan day" (1604), with Chen bin from the ding tai temple built to remember.
Folklore with Chen bing in fengshan "three meet lu dongbin, is Lv Xian pilot he is singing phoenix mountain" cave ", so he "caresses dian 3 years" or "MingGuan in sound built fengshan ring jade palace", "the cabinet si lu". Ring after the completion of the jade palace, with Chen bing had written the couplet:
Used to dream of spring, charming, swallow the garment, and missed the nine atlas fairy bone, purple devoted chicken calls, the horse on the world of mortals, to the head out of the door?
Empty mountain was about company, seven fujian phrases, phase invited six cups of tea, a letter to the sword shadow cross day, flute blowing sea, where Mr Fly!
With Chen bin in "the gate to the governor of yunnan", is infatuated with officialdom "towards the garment", and Taoism "nine atlas fairy bone", contradictory mood, only excuse me "sword shadow cross day, flute blowing sea" in lu fairy, he should "to the end of the jump out"?
With Chen bin's beginning build taihe palace, was to have such a words: "take an examination of the essence of the xuan emperor day b, take the xuan Xiao when emperor, mark the most in taihe, drawing and also, generation can be enshrined. I have a random, cheng zhu wen emperor jose type profile of its system, through the ages to long how..." Saying is true gen fu emperor is "the fine that day b, xuan Xiao ride when emperor", zhenwu signs, taihe (that is, the wudang mountain) is the most famous mountains. Since the tang dynasty years, generations of si. Ming emperor zhenwu Zhu Dichong letter, edict to overhaul wudang mountain, historic grand FengSi zhenwu. Mount wudang "god zhenwu, yongle like" legend, after the zhenwu palace in the world are according to the "yongle like" plastic zhenwu.
Ming chongzhen decade (1637) moved to the hall struck binchuan chicken foot mountain, annals inscriptional record contained are consistent. Ming chongzhen decade (1637), the governor of yunnan Zhang Feng He will tianzhufeng tongdian moved to struck binchuan chicken foot mountain. Tianzhufeng is also called "jinding" for this purpose. Chicken feet mount tongdian destroyed in 1966 during the "cultural revolution" sweep "capitalism". Move Zhang Feng He tongdian, taihe palace tongdian base is not opened, the lower platform sandstone reliefs railings, survived.
The qing emperor kangxi years to rebuild fengshan tongdian taihe palace, "fan of copper to more than five hundred" (250 tons). Tongdian soot cleaning dirt in 1980 found that bronze on the ridge purlin is connect body covered with inscriptions, soot was sunk panel cover beam in the middle of the word, I climbed up to see is "the qing emperor kangxi 10 years were the big ten there are six days ji lu month day prince of wu sangui to build". Inscriptions confirmed nine years of the reign of emperor kangxi (1670) repair wu sangui taihe palace, rebuild the zhenwu bronze, bronze statues, vertical "copper trail of rod more than ten zhangs, graceful tenet". Kangxi decade (1671) completed October 16. For twelve years wu sangui kangxi (1673) there's clear, therefore, local Chronicles inscriptional record only said "recasting" nine years of the reign of emperor kangxi, avoidance is the wu sangui recasting bronze.
Wu sangui reconstruction after the zhenwu bronze, cast a mouthful of "seven swords" suspension in bronze, this is the inscriptional record contained in zhenwu "hui sword hung, often ghost and monster". Wu sangui and it used a wooden broadsword, weighs 12 kg (6 kg) in taihe palace, in order to show off its wuwei.
JiaQu tongdian positive, the qing emperor kangxi 33 years (1694) yungui governor king following documents hanging brass plate inscribed "namo amitayus". "Amitayus" namely "amitabha", many people wondered, generation of MingRu yungui governor, why in zhenwu palace hanging plaque of Buddhism? Wudang mountain, yongle 14 (1416) wudang zhenwu bronze, sky column peak built peaks near turf has boundless longevity Buddha hall of Buddhism, Buddha's path to outdo each other. That built a tongdian holy will, the buddhist compromise, "let not the Buddha," true Wu Dian "amitayus" plaque hanging on the end, worship zhenwu, at the same time also praise "namo amitayus". Singing phoenix mountain tai temple mount wudang 27 building, hanging plaque ji-wen wang on the basis of wudang mountain and their stories.
Qing daoguang twenty-five years (1845) "rebuild two tianmen inscriptional record" recorded in the qing dynasty in kunming two earthquakes: "qianlong years, yunnan provincial earthquake, xinqi save, jue have the spirit of". The earthquake had little impact. Light "thirteen years (1833) of July 23, to yunnan to flame, retrieval temple memorial arch, guest waiter, jolt to destroy." Taihe palace greater disaster the xianfeng years, taihe palace destroyed by BingXian, three yuan house reduced to ashes. Each damage, after repair in different degrees. , guangxu sixteen years (1890 years) to guangxu thirty-one years (1905 years) before and after 15 years, tai temple abbot ming-qing li fundraising "several Wang Chi, Yu An turn oversee animate yunnan mineral, former governor Tang Gongjiong, but cast copper ten thousand catties, and an appointment again, holding donations. Casting pavilion, serve gods, tiles, and entrance, memorial arch, a house, all for the new."
Taihe palace Andy military takeover in 1950, as the "kunming golden area". Successively belonging to bureau of culture and education, culture bureau, construction bureau, bureau of parks and woods management. In 1966 during the "cultural revolution" sweep "capitalism", the temple clay statues are destroyed, and the collapse of the house, HuangYan creeping weed. And placing the taihe palace belong to kunming in 1968 tire factory dormitory, in 1970 by the city of kunming city construction bureau.

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。
清光绪十六年(1890年)舒藻《重修太和宫碑记》详细记载了太和宫创建的历史：“滇南苴兰(昆明)会垣东关外，距城十五里许，有山鸣凤，又俗名鹦鹉山。前明万历壬寅年(1620xx年)，道士徐正元叩请云南巡抚陈公用宾，会同黔国公沐公昌祚，右都督沐公睿，御使刘公会于是山之巅，仿照湖广武当山七十二峰之中峰修筑紫禁城，冶铜为殿，铸供真武祖师金身。名其宫曰‘太和’，亦仿照武当山中峰宫名也。其时并建三元、环翠二宫，所供圣神仙佛，各有专司，瞻拜者历历可溯。而其殿宇，概以‘太和宫’统之。其地左挹华山之秀，金马腾辉;右临昆海之滨，碧鸡焕彩，洵为滇南一胜境也。乡人称之或曰金殿，或曰金顶，任其信口而出耳。”
这段碑文依据史料，叙述了仿湖北武当山始创昆明太和宫金殿的时间、创始人、冶铜为殿、供奉真武金身的道观规模，以及鸣凤山的山势。明万历三十年(1620xx年)道士徐正元“叩请云南巡抚陈用宾”，陈用宾会同黔国公沐昌祚、右都督沐睿、御使刘会，同登鸣凤山巅，商定仿武当山中峰兴建太和宫。这与明万历甲辰年(1620xx年)正月太和宫创始人陈用宾所撰《鼎建太和宫记》是一致的。舒藻的碑记用白话叙述，通俗易读。陈用宾的碑记文言纪事，不容易读。
舒藻碑文中所说：“其时并建三元、环翠二宫”一段不准确。其实创建太和宫前七年，就已建“环翠宫”。陈用宾撰《环翠宫记》称：“余抚滇之三年，命官于鸣凤山建环翠宫，其中为阁，祀吕师(吕洞宾)，殿有二，王、陶天君，何、柳二仙并祀阁上。” 陈用宾，福建晋江人，明进士，万历二十一年(1593年)以右佥都御使巡抚云南。陈用宾“抚滇之三年”，即万历二十三年(1595年)，他“命官于鸣凤山建环翠宫”。万历三十年(1620xx年)“叩请”陈用宾兴建太和宫金殿的“道士徐正元”，就是环翠宫的道士。
正如陈用宾《鼎建太和宫记》所述：“及抚滇之九年”，即万历三十年(1620xx年)，陈用宾“偕卜胜东城，相度山原间几一舍许无当者，延伫环望，真气英英，连蜷环翠宫左，扪萝视之，适彩雉从中盘起，玉局宛然，无亦光岳之閟有待欤?” 陈用宾偕沐昌祚、沐睿、刘会等登相度山，卜胜选址，已见山势“连蜷环翠宫左”。这清楚说明，明万历三十年陈用宾为太和宫选址时，已有环翠宫。太和宫金殿、三元宫于明万历三十年(1620xx年)动工兴建，“始事竣工，俱以王正之月，甫一载而缮定”。“万历甲辰(1620xx年)岁春正月吉旦”，陈用宾撰立《鼎建太和宫记》。
民间传说陈用宾曾在鸣凤山“三遇吕洞宾”，是吕仙引示他鸣凤山是“洞天福地”，所以他“抚滇之三年”即“命官于鸣凤山建环翠宫”，“其中为阁祀吕师”。环翠宫建成后，陈用宾曾撰楹联：
春梦惯迷人，一品朝衣，误了九寰仙骨，鸡鸣紫陌，马踏红尘，军门向那头跳出?
空山曾约伴，七闽片语，相邀六诏杯茶，剑影横天，笛声吹海，先生从何处飞来!
陈用宾身居云南“军门巡抚”，既迷恋官场“一品朝衣”，又向往道教“九寰仙骨”，矛盾的心情，只有请问“剑影横天，笛声吹海”飞来的吕仙人，他该“向那头跳出”?
陈用宾《建太和宫记》开头有这样一段话：“考玄帝天乙之精，乘玄枵当帝座，迹最著于太和，贞观而还，代能尊祀。我成祖文皇帝穆有遐思，式廓其制，千古让隆焉……”说是真武玄帝系“天乙之精，乘玄枵当帝座”，真武神迹，太和山(即武当山)最著名。从唐贞观年间以来，世代尊祀。明成祖朱棣崇信真武，敕令大修武当山，千古隆重奉祀真武。武当山有“真武神，永乐像”的传说，以后天下真武宫都按这“永乐像”塑真武。
明崇祯十年(1637年)金殿移到宾川鸡足山，史志碑记所载是一致的。明崇祯十年(1637年)云南巡抚张凤翮将铜殿移到宾川鸡足山天柱峰。天柱峰为此又称“金顶”。鸡足山铜殿毁于1966年“文化大革命”“扫四旧”期间。张凤翮移铜殿时，太和宫铜殿的基座、下层平台砂石浮雕栏杆未拆，保存至今。
清康熙年间重建鸣凤山太和宫铜殿，“范铜至五百余万之多”(250吨)。1980年清洗铜殿烟尘污垢时，发现铜殿正梁上通体被烟垢覆盖的铭文，梁中间的字被藻井遮盖，我爬上去看是“大清康熙十年岁次辛亥大吕月十有六日之吉平西亲王吴三桂敬筑”。铭文证实清康熙九年(1670年)吴三桂修葺太和宫，重建真武铜殿，铜铸神像，竖“铜幡竿十余丈，亭亭特立”。康熙十年(1671年)十月十六日竣工落成。因吴三桂康熙十二年(1673年)举兵反清，故方志碑记只称“清康熙九年重铸”，回避是吴三桂重铸铜殿。
吴三桂重建真武铜殿后，铸了一口“七星宝剑”悬挂在铜殿内，这就是碑记中所载真武“慧剑高悬，常伏魔而制怪”。吴三桂又将其使用过的一把木柄大刀，重12斤(6公斤)留在太和宫，以炫耀其武威。
铜殿正面，清康熙三十三年甲戌(1694年)云贵总督王继文书悬“南无无量寿佛”铜匾。“无量寿佛”即“阿弥陀佛”，不少人感到疑惑，一代名儒的云贵总督，为什么在真武道宫挂佛教匾?武当山记载，永乐十四(1420xx年)武当天柱峰顶建真武铜殿时，峰巅咫尺地盘上已有佛教无量寿佛殿，佛道互不相让。得知建铜殿是圣上旨意，佛家折中，“让地不让佛”，真武殿上挂“无量寿佛”匾，朝拜真武同时，也颂“南无无量寿佛”。鸣凤山太和宫仿武当山中峰兴建，王继文依据武当山典故悬匾。
清道光二十五年(1845年)《重修二天门碑记》记载了清代昆明两次地震的情况：“乾隆年间，滇省地震，星旗救劫，厥有灵徵”。这次地震影响不大。道光“十三年(1833年)七月二十三日，滇地大震，復得殿宇牌坊，客座茶房，震摇摧坏。”太和宫更大的劫难是咸丰年间，太和宫毁于兵燹，三元宫化为灰烬。每一次损坏后，都不同程度地进行了修缮。其中，光绪十六年(1890年)至光绪三十一年(1920xx年)前后十五年间，太和宫住持李明清劝募“缙绅王炽、余安转禀督办云南矿物、前巡抚唐公炯，倡铸铜一万斤，并遍约同人，量力捐助。铸造亭子、侍座神像、格扇瓦片，并重修山门、牌坊、殿宇，众作新之。”
太和宫金殿于1950年军事接管，定为“昆明市金殿名胜区”。先后隶属文教局、建设局、文化局、园林局管理。1966年“文化大革命”“扫四旧”期间，各殿泥塑神像被破坏，殿宇坍塌，荒烟蔓草。1968年又将太和宫划属昆明力车胎厂作宿舍，1970年由昆明市城建局收回。
粉碎“四人帮”以后，逐年修复古建筑，重建雷神殿、老君殿、三丰殿，翻修三座天门、棂星门，新建长廊亭台，局部维修明代城墙。1983年兴建山巅钟楼，保护原昆明城宣化楼之明代永乐大钟。
1983年至1991年，在鸣凤山东面、南面新征土地273亩，兴建占地500亩规模的“昆明园林植物园”。园林植物园分为十二个专类花卉园区茶花园、温室花卉区、杜鹃园、水景园、木兰园、蔷薇园、竹类植物园、裸籽植物区、珍稀濒危植物区、造园示范区、鹦鹉园(盆景区)和雪松草坪园。省、市政府先后投资达800余万元。
为迎接1999年在昆明举办的世界园艺博览会，1997年至1999年，市政府先后在鸣凤山金殿投资20xx万元，全面维修太和宫古建筑群，整修钟楼，开辟钟楼旅游服务区，兴建大型观赏温室，新建杜鹃精品园，开发兰圃和蕨类植物园，重建秋园餐厅，改造旅游招待所，重建园内旅游厕所。在金殿自筹资金兴建“中国金殿博览苑”的基础上，进一步开发金殿青铜文化旅游景点……这次整治修建，为太和宫金殿创建四百年来规模最大的一次修葺和兴建。金殿名胜区1999年跻身云南省一流风景名胜区。
金殿风景区位于昆明市东郊的鸣凤山麓，距市区8公里，初建于明万历年间，明崇祯十年(1637)铜殿迁宾川鸡足山，清康熙十年(1671)平西王吴三桂重建现存这幢重檐歇山式真武铜殿，铜殿重250吨，是中国最大的铜建筑，它比北京颐和园万寿山的金殿保存完整;比湖北武当山金殿规模大，是我国现存最大的纯铜铸殿，铜殿在骄阳下殿宇熠熠生辉，耀眼夺目，故人们称为金殿，是中国重点保护文物。
金殿自鼎建至今已380多年，现存鸣凤山金殿，是清初吴三佳重建的。殿梁上还留有“大清康熙十年，岁次辛亥，大吕月，十有门日之吉，平西亲王吴三桂敬筑”等字样。 吴三桂在镇压农民起义后，率师进踞昆明，重建金殿。现在金殿大梁上尚可看到“大清康熙十年，岁次辛亥，大吕月(即十月)六日之吉,平西亲王吴三桂敬筑”铜铸字样。里面的佛像、匾联、梁柱、层面、门窗、盘龙、装饰等均用铜铸成。金殿的阶梯、地板、栏杆均是别致的大理石镶砌。整个殿宇宏伟庄严，美观大方。
清代历朝，太和宫屡遇地震兵燹，但屡获修缮。最大的一次劫难是在文革。殿宇坍塌，神像捣毁，太和宫满目荒芜，不堪回顾。直到1999年，为了迎接昆明世博会，才对太和宫进行了全面整修。太和宫历尽沧桑，真武帝几遭兴废。
金殿天门
从山麓迎仙桥起步，过一天门、二天门、三天门，便到高达1000多米的平台之上，眼前是一座古堡式的建筑，城墙上有城楼、垛口，城内有太和宫，宫门上嵌着“棂星门”三个金字，门扉上楹联写着“上谷龙飞，无双玉宇无双地;东林竹舞，一半青山一半云”。
金殿
进入门内，即能看到我国现存最大的纯铜铸殿——金殿。它的梁柱斗拱、覆领鳌脊、宝顶飞檐、匾额楹联、供桌神像、瓶炉器皿等，全部用铜铸成，重二百余吨。殿高6.7米，宽深为6.2米，殿身立圆柱16根，殿壁为36块雕花格扇加坊拼成，铸造细致，结构复杂。殿中供鎏金神像5尊，中为真武帝君，侧塑金童玉女，两旁有水火两将。铜殿坐于高高的大理石丹陛上，四周围以两层石制栏杆，金碧辉煌，有如金銮宝殿。殿台阶下有侍亭两座，左面另立一10米高的刁斗杆，杆上升起一面七星皂旗。旗杆、旗斗、旗子也用铜铸成。铜旗为三角形，犬牙边，旗周围有二十八宿、旗上端有日月;旗中有北斗六星，整个铜旗均为镂空镶嵌;旗面上雕刻有“天下太平、风调雨顺、国泰民安”12个铜字。
钟楼
金殿风景区后山建有三层三十六翼角二十九米高的钟楼，三楼穹顶下，悬挂明永乐二十一年(1432)所铸的大铜钟，钟高3.5米，口径周长6.7米，重达14吨，为云南省最大的古钟，此钟原悬于昆明城南丽门面的宣化楼上，1953年拆城楼移至古幢公园，近又移至“金殿”公园。
园林植物园
金殿建有500亩的钟楼园林植物园，已建成茶花园、杜鹃园、木兰园、蔷薇园、温室区等十个园区，引种园林植物20xx余种。金殿名胜区是融人文景观、自然景观为一体的特色旅游景点。在殿后侧，有粗逾合抱的山茶一株和紫薇两株，相传为明代所种，每年春节前后，数千朵茶花怒放，花红似火。
殿外筑有城墙、城门、城垛。城上有楼。
金殿风景区位于昆明市东郊的鸣凤山麓，占地1773亩距市区8公里。金殿名胜区创建于明万历三十年(1602)明崇祯十年(1637)铜殿迁宾川鸡足山，清康熙十年(1671)平西王吴三桂重建现存这幢重檐歇山式真武铜殿，铜殿重250吨，是中国最大的铜建筑，它比北京颐和园万寿山的金殿保存完整;比湖北武当山金殿规模大，是我国现存最大的纯铜铸殿。 这座名声显赫的金殿属于太和宫的一部分，总重量达250吨，为重檐飞阁仿木结构方形建筑，殿高6.7米，宽、深各6.2米，包括梁柱斗拱、瓦楞顶檐、神像罗幔、桌案瓶器、匾楹旌旗等都是用铜铸成。
金殿自陈用宾于万历壬寅(1602)年鼎建， 迄今已380多年; 吴三桂重建已210多年了。初建于明万历年间。陈用宾仿照湖北均县境内的武当山天柱峰的太和宫及金殿，略加变化建成。明代后期统治云南的沐氏作恶多端，屡被朝廷惩治，家运日衰。但是，他不从自身上找根源，而从迷信中寻求解脱。信为：鹦鹉山在城东，山上立有铜殿，“铜乃西方之属，能克木”，故由巡按张凤翮出面，将铜殿拆运至滇西的鸡足山，现存鸣凤山金殿，是清初吴三佳重建的。殿梁上还留有“大清康熙十年，岁次辛亥，大吕月，十有门日之吉，平西亲王吴三桂敬筑”等字样。
从山脚舍车步行，过迎仙桥，进“鸣凤胜景”坊，途径“第一天门”、“二天门”和“三天门”。攀上天门，即可见古朴庄重的“太和宫”大门。联云：“画栋连云，只占青山三亩地;朱楼映日，别开绿野一重天”。入寺门，再过棂星门，可见巍然屹立的砖城，击长约数十丈，略似皇家紫禁城。沿阶进“城”，迎面高高的台阶上，便是太和宫的中心建筑，著名的金殿。 名胜区建有三层三十六翼角二十九米高的钟楼，三楼穹顶下，悬挂明永乐二十一年(1432)所铸的大铜钟，钟高3.5米，口径周长6.7米，重达14吨，为云南省最大的古钟。新建的“中国金殿博览苑”，将湖北武当山、山西五台山、山东泰山、和北京万寿山的铜建筑荟萃一园。苑中堆大理石，小桥叠水、踏步栏杆、栈道石坊、植物花卉等景观相映，形成了小巧玲珑的仿铜文化园林。金殿建有500亩的园林植物园，已建成茶花园、杜鹃园、木兰园、蔷薇园、温室区等十个园区，引种园林植物20xx余种。金殿名胜区是融人文景观、自然景观为一体的特色旅游景点。在昆明市东北角七公里的鸣凤山上，有完全用青铜铸造的铜殿，在骄阳下殿宇熠熠生辉，耀眼夺目，故人们称为金殿，是中国重点保护文物。
春城清代康熙九年(公元一六七零年)，吴三桂在镇压农民起义后，率师进踞昆明，重建金殿。现在金殿大梁上尚可看到“大清康熙十年，岁次辛亥，大吕月(即十月)六日之吉,平西亲王吴三桂敬筑”铜铸字样。里面的佛像、匾联、梁柱、层面、门窗、盘龙、装饰等均用铜铸成。金殿的阶梯、地板、栏杆均是别致的大理石镶砌。整个殿宇宏伟庄严，美观大方。殿外筑有城墙、城门、城垛。城上有楼。在殿后侧，有粗逾合抱的山茶一株和紫薇两株，相传为明代所种，每年春节前后，数千朵茶花怒放，花红似火。
