Mile Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Dongfengyun Sceneic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
YUNNAN road-trips always surprise!
On our way around Yunnan we ran into this unique place.
It’s unlike anything else. It is a large area with different activities to do. Most obvious one - strolling around and take pictures. The architecture of buildings is so unique and beautiful, that you’ll enjoy the moments looking around.
There’s area with with restaurants and cafés, where you can recharge. There are also some hotels within the area where you can spend night.
We were told that groups of artists often gather there and hold concerts/performances, however we weren’t lucky enough.
This place is 100% worth visit. Bring comfy shoes and be ready for some walk. #roadtrip #sunnyday #yunnan
Dongfengyun Scenic Area, 📍Mile
The Art Museum located at Dongfengyun Scenic Area is a must see attraction while you are traveling to Kunming and is worth spending your afternoon exploring the area.
The museum expounds on the interpretation of earth, space and architecture by “Luo Xu”, the architecture is made of bricks laid in a geometry manner giving an illusion of wine bottles or red flames giving a unique art form full of postmodernist’s elements, as the real inspiration came from kaleidoscope Luo Xu used to play in his childhood.. Looking inside the dome, each window gives a certain shadow at different angels such as a kaleidoscope. 🔥🔥🔥
The scenic area is 1 hour away by train, taking it from Kunming Railway Station to Mile, but trains are every 2 hours so book a day in advance. As soon as you arrive at Mile Railway Station, you can easily get a taxi from outside costing 20th and a 10 minutes drive.
The ticket price is 60 rmb, it’s better to add on the transportation which is 20 rmb round trip, as the walk is quite long but then the scenery alongside is quite breathtaking.. 🔥🔥🔥
📍Dongfengyun Secenic Area / 1 hour train
🕰10:00 - 18:00
💰60 rmb adult, 20 rmb add transportation.

Mile's eastern breeze carries the essence, another elevation of the Chinese red brick art
Actually, this isn't the first time we've seen such red brick art architecture in China. The Red Brick Art Museum in Beijing's Chaoyang district also has its unique charm. Although both are red brick buildings, they each have their own distinct worlds. In terms of architectural art and tourism resources, they have both successfully achieved the aesthetic value for tourists.
As for the original intention behind artist Luo Xu's creation and the specific tourism content, I will not elaborate here. Everyone is welcome to visit and experience it for themselves.
I thought Dali was beautiful enough, until I arrived in Mile!
Yunnan is not just about Dali and Lijiang
There's also a lesser-known tourist city—Mile!
If you don't want to be in crowded places
And want to experience the beauty of Yunnan
Then this treasure city of Mile is recommended for you!

DongFengYun Hotel Mi'Le - MGallery Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
How many people, like us, came to Maitreya for this magical castle
Do you only know about Dali and Lijiang when you go to Yunnan? This time I recommend you a treasure town in Yunnan—Maitreya, which is only more than an hour's drive from Kunming. The must-visit Dongfeng Rhyme is called the "Eastern Turkey" by everyone. It really has a sense of déjà vu in a foreign town. The temperature in winter is also about 20 degrees, which is not cold or hot. It's really comfortable, not only there are vineyards and hot springs, it can also be considered a treasure place for walking in my heart.
📷Share a few suitable photo spots:
✅In front of the Kaleidoscope Art Museum: The entire surroundings are quite good for shooting, and any position is very good for taking pictures;
✅Infinity pool in Dongfeng Rhyme Town: There is a circular arch that can see the kaleidoscope in the distance;
✅The lawn passed from the scenic area to the hotel: Sitting on the slope of the lawn can take a whole kaleidoscope;
✅The atrium of the Meijing Pavilion 1 building: It's so comfortable to sit here for a courtyard afternoon tea, you can shoot from the second floor overlooking, or sit under the round arch with reeds, stand opposite and shoot, remember that the low angle can shoot a large picture with a sense of déjà vu in the water.
✅The atrium of Meijing Pavilion Building 3: This hedge maze really easily takes French-style photos.
✅The atrium of Meijing Pavilion No. 5: The international chess lawn is like a scene in a fairy tale world. It's really great to shoot from the second floor with a wide-angle lens.
✅The wooden walkway in the middle of the Meijing Pavilion pool: The background is the kaleidoscope of the Dongfeng Rhyme Scenic Area, and the white Meijing Pavilion logo is also super match. Use a telephoto lens to shoot from a high place, the picture has a sense of composition.
✅The echo wall in front of the Meijing Pavilion lobby: The minimalist design sense, when there is a blue sky and white clouds, it is a big picture with a casual shot.
🚄How to get there?
You can take a high-speed train from Kunming to Maitreya Station, and then take a taxi for 10 minutes; you can also drive from Kunming, and it will arrive in an hour and a half.
🏨Accommodation choice:
It is highly recommended to stay at the Meijing Pavilion Hotel in the Dongfeng Rhyme Scenic Area for fun with children. You can walk to the kaleidoscope. The key is that the hotel is better than the scenic area. There are also rich parent-child experience activities. Bingtang Xueli had a super fun time experiencing pottery for the first time. The booked courtyard room with a hot spring pool is quite popular with children.
🍽️Food recommendation:
The must-visit is definitely the Maitreya specialty braised chicken rice noodles, and the winter Jiugongge hot pot and Yunnan dishes at the Meijing Pavilion are not bad. Recently, there is also a Chinese New Year themed afternoon tea, which is very delicate and suitable for photo check-in~ By the way, don't miss tasting the locally produced wine, the taste is very pure.
The Utopia Hotel in Dongfengyun, Mile, Honghe, Yunnan, is a great place for photography and is much loved by cute kids
I heard about a Utopia built in the Dongfengyun town of Mile, Honghe, Yunnan, a long time ago. The Dongfengyun Meijing Courtyard Select Hotel🏨
👀This place is full of artistic atmosphere and tension! The post-modern architectural complex constructed of red bricks and smooth curves creates a unique and dreamy blend effect, making it a coveted art check-in spot for many design enthusiasts.
🏨Hotel features:
The hotel's architecture is a group of original buildings freely grown along the terrain, designed by the renowned artist Luo Xu. The interior space created by CCD Zheng Zhong Design conveys a peaceful and settled overall atmosphere through the integration of natural elements and local culture. We hope that the landscape presented by the hotel is not just external beauty, but a higher emotional experience, allowing the hotel space to integrate as one.
🐤In addition to art lovers, this place is also very suitable for family trips. This time we stayed in the Little Yellow Duck family room.
Upon entering the hotel, staff dressed in ethnic minority costumes offer welcome drinks, Mile stories, and tie-dye souvenirs. We stayed in the Little Yellow Duck themed family suite, which is warmly and playfully decorated with elements of little yellow ducks everywhere, including bathrobes, slippers, toiletries, night lights, and even a Lego table and flying chess, which the kids couldn't stop playing with.
On the second day, you can go directly to the Dongfengyun scenic area with the hotel room card. This place is a holy land for photography, and staying here also includes a follow-along photo shoot with Platinum Travel. The photographer will also reveal various popular check-in spots.
🍽️In the afternoon, we experienced the local Yi people's intangible cultural heritage afternoon tea at the hotel, with inheritors explaining hand embroidery and local customs, understanding that each pattern has its meaning.
In the evening, we tasted the special double set meal at the hotel, and each dish was like a work of art.
On the third day, we took the baby to experience the 'playing with mud' she had been longing for, making pottery with local red clay under the guidance of a professional clay sculptor, which was really meaningful.
💰Average consumption: 600-1000+
👀Hygiene condition: Excellent
🧳Soundproofing: Very good
Compared to Lijiang and Dali, I have a deeper affection for this less-traveled route in Yunnan
When Yunnan is mentioned, almost everyone thinks of Dali, but what you may not know is that there is a hidden gem like Southeast Yunnan waiting to be explored~
Starting from Kunming, have an afternoon tea at Mile Castle🍵, take a boat tour on the fairyland-like Puzhehei Lake🚤, perform a scene from 'Youth' at Bisezhai🎬, ride on the Republic of China style train through a century of time🚃, and experience the worldly life in the ancient city of Jianshui🏯... It will definitely make your trip worthwhile.

Taiping Lake Forest Chalet, Mile Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
In Mile! My friends circle thought I went abroad

Taiping Lake Forest Chalet Hotel Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I took my parents on a trip because the Mile hotel was praised
From childhood to adulthood, I was strictly educated and rarely praised
But I was praised by my parents for finding a suitable hotel
In my memory
I always felt that my parents were serious, so I communicated very little
I was also very busy after work
So I lack the company of my parents
I had a break from work a while ago
Finally had time to take my parents on a trip
This stop chose Mile
Considering that my parents are old and do not like the hustle and bustle like us young people
So I booked their forest cabin hotel in the Taiping Lake scenic area
It's very close from the city to the scenic area
Dragging luggage with parents will not feel very troublesome
Arrived at the hotel for check-in
The service staff has a good attitude
It feels very cordial and feels at home
My parents have been at home all year round and do not deal with outsiders
Very afraid of trouble others
The hotel I booked happens to be fully self-service
Everything is there, very thoughtful and convenient
So after checking in, I felt my parents' peace and happiness
I have to say that staying in the scenic area is really suitable for the elderly
The log cabin hotel is in a beautiful park
Quiet, cozy, comfortable, and health-preserving
Nourish the heart from the outside, and nourish the body from the inside
And there are many exclusive projects suitable for parent-child experience
Such as vegetable picking, bonfire parties, outdoor movies
They are all things that parents like and have a strong life atmosphere
I am very fortunate to have chosen this one
And because I booked such a clean, warm, convenient and characteristic hotel
Parents seem to have seen a side of me they have never seen before
They actually affirmed my choice
And had a long-lost emotional exchange on the night of such an atmospheric stay in the scenic area
It turns out that love is not gone~ It needs some special opportunities to stimulate our expression
If I travel here in the future, I will make the same choice......

It's very pleasant to sit in the small courtyard with family and friends, soaking up the sun, drinking tea, and chatting!

Mile Jipingshan Scenic Area|||
|||. The weather in Mile is really comfortable, hot but not dry, in contrast to Nanning which is dry and not humid. It's cool under the shade of trees, and because it's dry, you don't sweat much when walking. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, with the afternoon being the hottest.
Jipingshan Scenic Area is said to have 1999 steps, with a ticket price of 30, student price of 15, and a shuttle bus back and forth for 20, one-way for 15. In the end, I still walked up.
It's not that hard to climb. If you take the sightseeing car, you can only see the big Buddha, and you can't see the other temples along the way. There are wheat fields planted on the mountainside, the five-star red flag is flying high in front of the temple, and there are drum towers and bell towers. You can see a bell and a drum on the second floor respectively.
A hidden gem of a scenic area just one hour away from Kunming! A place where you'll regret going up the mountain but be amazed once you're there!
Address:
Jinping Mountain Scenic Area, Mile City, Yunnan Province
Open all year from 8:00 to 17:30
Admission is 30 yuan per person, sightseeing car is 10 yuan per person (admission is mandatory, sightseeing car is optional)
Yunnan! A place where you'll regret going up the mountain but be amazed once you're there! Mile, Jinping Mountain
Visit Jinping Mountain in Mile to see the Mile Buddha. It took a very long walk before reaching the entrance of the scenic area, and I thought I had gone the wrong way at one point. To enter the scenic area, you must pass through a row of stalls selling goods to reach the main gate. At first, it really didn't seem worth coming so far.
○ Remember to buy a one-way electric cart ticket along with your admission ticket. After climbing 1,999 steps, your knees and calves might hurt, but going down is relatively easier, and you can enjoy the stunning scenery. In winter, it's recommended to arrive at the main gate of the scenic area before 4 p.m. The sunlight is softer on the mountain, and you can overlook the entire Mile City.
○ When taking photos, I kept exclaiming how incredibly beautiful it was, and in winter, you can still see the scenery of autumn!
