17/02/2010 - Yunnan, The Province of Mountains, Part 5

Woke up at 8 in the morning, thankfully I had at least 5 hours of sleep. After having breakfast in the hotel's restaurant, it's time to depart again.

The first destination of the day is the lake located in Kunming known as Cui Hu (翠湖). There's a famous military school near Cui Hu known as Yunnan Lu Jun Jiang Wu Tang (云南陆军讲武堂).

After staying a while in the military school, we walked to Cui Hu opposite the military school. There were many seagulls in the lake as many of the seagulls will migrate to here at the beginning of the year.

After our lunch, the tour guide brought us to visit a crystal shop, well, trying to promote us the crystal products. I was not so interesting in it, so I just went outside the shop to search for some interesting subjects for photo shooting.
