After visiting my father's house, we headed on to my father-in-law's place as it is tradition to visit our elders during the first day of the Chinese New Year in a certain order.
All the ladies were dressed to their nines.

On the 2nd day, we visited a local tourist shopping site which retails jade and Chinese medicinal herbs aka "7 colours of Yun Nam". Nothing spectacular there except for.. well.. making you spend the tourist dollars.
After we left the 7 colours of Yun Nam, we were brought to DaGuan Park (大观公园). At this park, there is a stream that leads to Lake Dian (滇池), which is a very large lake and is of strategic battle location during the warring period. The special attraction here was the 2-storeyed pavilion that was built in the 17th century. And on the entrance of the pavilion was a couplet verse written by a famous poet, Sun Rangweng, whom crafted one of the longest couplets ever written. According to our tour guide, the couplet first verse mentions of the nice scenery and magnificent structure of the pavilion and the complimentary second verse speaks of how sorrowful it is to know that many have battled and died here and their names lost in history.
I know I won't be lost in history as long as Google and Blogger continues to host my blogs and pictures for free!!
We had dinner that came with a show.. In my opinion, it sucks and the food is dreadfully minimal in its portions.
See the rest of the pictures of day 2 here!
