Lifestyle In Yunnan

Early in the morning, groups of elderly people can be seen heading to parks, or squares, for their morning get-togethers, and exercise usually with their grandchildren. They exercise, chat, or play games.

Many love to practice taiji or martial arts, or simply go on walks while chatting with their friends. They also love to dance. They can be seen doing traditional dances, such as the fan or drum dances, and western ballroom dances.

People love getting together to play cards, chess, or Mahjong at the parks, on street corners, or in tea houses. If the game is well played, inevitably a group of people will begin to form to watch the masters play. 
Local people each have their own favorite types of food and often eat foods from different ethnic minority groups. Many locals eat at home with the whole family sitting around a table and sharing in the food, and discussing the day's events. 

After dinner, entire families can be seen walking slowly down the street chatting, meeting friends, and occasionally stopping at a roadside booth for a snack or go to bars, clubs, discos, and karaoke bars to spend their night.

The local villagers and farmers work extremely hard every day, for little money, but if you see them in the evening, you will see that they are also extremely happy. They love nothing more than getting together with friends in the local bar, or a house, and spending the evening joking, smoking, drinking, and playing games with each other. They are extremely generous and love to have a good time.
