Our next visit is to 昆明大观楼 , frankly speaking, it was quite tiring given that we didnt rest the night before and yet we have to travel a few attractions on Day 1 but this place is really very beautiful. IMG_3372

Finally we reached our hotel where we took a short nap. IMG_3430

Then a dinner to see the QiXing dance. Given their population, they can easily find qualified performers. IMG_3449
