Photo taken on October 16, 2013 shows golden exterior of Kunming Changshui International Airport in Kunming, capital city of southwest China's Yunnan province. The airport is listed as one of China's top ten buildings covered with "local tyrant gold" by Chinese netizens. "Local tyrant gold", is derived from the term "local tyrant", and has become a popular phrase in China. It is used to describe the gold iPhone 5S. Apple calls the color "champagne gold," but many Chinese netizens have adopted the more satirical and critical description "local tyrant gold" to refer to rich showoffs. [Chinanews.com]
