The Golden Palace of Jindian is the largest palace in China.
It is located on Mingfeng Mountain in the east of Kunming.
It was built by General Wu Sangui, using 380 tons of brass.
It is the only palace with brass walls and roofs, and is considered the largest brass building in China.

The Golden Palace of Jindian was built during the Ming Dynasty and was renovated by Prince Wu Sangui, who ruled the region during the Qing Dynasty. The palace is 6.7 meters high, 6.2 meters wide and long, and is made entirely of brass. The palace was surrounded by walls and forts, similar to the walls surrounding the city. A 12-kilogram Seven-Star Sword and a 20-kilogram Holy Sword were kept in the pavilion. They were believed to be the personal weapons of Prince Wu Sangui.
