Kunming is the capital and largest city of Yunnan province in southwest China. Known as Yunnan-Fu until the 1920s, today it is a prefecture-level city and the political, economic, communications and cultural centre of the province as well as the seat of the provincial government. Kunming is also called the Spring city due to its weather. The headquarters of many of Yunnan's large businesses are in Kunming. It was important during World War II as a Chinese military center, American air base, and transport terminus for the Burma Road. Located in the middle of the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau, Kunming is located at an altitude of 1,900 metres (6,234 feet) above sea level and at a latitude just north of the Tropic of Cancer. Kunming has as of 2014 a population of 6,626,000 with an urban population of 4,575,000, and is located at the northern edge of the large Lake Dian, surrounded by temples and lake-and-limestone hill landscapes.

I went the weekend of the tomb sweeping festival. Not too many people. The entrance fee is ¥6. I was there for maybe 45 minutes. You may take more time if you are able to read Chinese or if you have more than one person in your party. Decent place to take pictures (not of the inside of temples of course).

To get to the temple you will walk through delightful gardens and pools of water and little concrete bridges. Once you get up all the steps, if you go in the morning, you may hear singing--I was told that the senior citizens walk up here each weekday morning to get their exercise, to pay homage to their ancestors and to pray, and then down in a valley of firs and cypresses to the left of the temple when you're facing it, all these seniors will be singing. It's absolutely magical.

It's very important part of Chinese history. Must see military school with lots authentic historic pieces. Many original photographs will take true history of great war. And how this military school contributed during this period of struggle.
