Kunming – Army Officials School

25 October 2007
2nd day – morning – Army Officials School


The morning call was at 7.15 am, breakfast in the Hotel Cafeteria at 8.00 am and we started our 2nd journey at 8.15 am. The first place we went was the Army Officials School (姜武堂). It is one of the protected/reserved history units in China that founded in 1909 and is located at the west of the Green Lake (翠湖). A lot of famous generals were students of this school.


It was drizzling when we reached there. The local tour guide told us lots of interesting history and stories where even members of other tour groups were also attracted to listen and gave him a loud applause after he has finished. One of the stories is the “Du Du Siew Mai of General Tang Shi Roa” (唐饶将军的都督烧卖).

The bus stopped at the side of the Green Lake Park which it is at Kunming City center. Every year lots of seagull will fry from Siberia to Kunming during winter time and this Green Lake is their resting place. Many locals and tourists are attracted to enjoy the wonderful scene of the seagull.
