昆明，一座中国历史文化名城。
Kunming, is a famous historical and cultural city of China.
战国，两千多年前，楚国大将庄蹻率军来到滇池地区。
In the Warring States period, more than two thousand years ago, the army of the great Zhuangqiao general of the Chu state, came to the Yunnan area.
由于后路被秦军切断，于是在此安营自立为王，建立滇池周围的第一座城郭，即是“庄蹻故城”。
As the back road was cut off by the Qin army, he was here to stand on his own and set up the first city around Dianchi, that is "Zhuangqiao anciant town ".
公元765年，南诏国国王阁罗凤命其长子凤伽异在今昆明市区内筑拓东城，成为南诏的副都，是为有准确史料可查的今日昆明建城之始。
In 765, the king of Nanzhao, asked his son to build the city on the territory of modern Kunming. It became the capital of Nanzhao. It was the beginning of construction of todays Kunming.
作为一座千年古城，徜徉于昆明的大街小巷，你总是能在不经意间发现那些隐藏在闹市里的旧迹朴风，怀一下旧，感念一下岁月的时光给这座城市留下的沧桑与厚重。
