I got to JiNan in the morning. After checked in at hotel I rushed to see Dabo 大伯. I got there around noon. Auntie Jennie waited for me in front of the hospital with my cousin Zhang Ge. There’s warmth upon meeting Dabo and Dabo Mu, not formal (as I feared ..) and no fuss. I’d imaged few times what should I say and do because they’re the elders of the family hence the patriarch. Dabo offered me fresh longjing dragon well tea. It’s light and fragrant, lusciously soothing. My cousin, his daughter Zhang Ping has cooked a delicious lunch.
After the tour of wanzhu yuan on Tuesday, we lunched at this restaurant near the park. The food is so so, nothing to write home about.
万竹园的三泉 three of Jinan’s 72 famous springs are in Wanzhu Yuan.

My first visit to JiNan’s Ten Thousand Bamboo Garden during my 2010 China trip, with aunt Jennie, uncle Changfa and his son.
Many people call it Zhang Yuan 张家花园.
Uncle was proud to be the grandson of Zhang Huaizhi. He celebrated his 70th birthday in the restaurant inside the WanZhu Yuan when restaurant was allowed to operate. The government or the management had revoke the license, at the time we visited it, the restaurant was long gone.
