Finally, I know why everyone likes to travel to Yunnan, the weather is really comfortable. This time we played the niche Southeast Yunnan route, which was really surprising. There were no people crowded, and the travel experience was simply full! I stayed at the Meijing Pavilion in Mile Dongfengyun. It was like a dream back to ancient Babylon to see the Hammurabi Code. A towering red brick building is particularly eye-catching, and the entire hotel is full of exotic customs~

The steaming bowl of rice noodles is the ultimate temptation for the taste buds, tender and flavorful, each bite is the best interpretation of 'yyds'!👑🍲 In the evening, the BBQ party by the pool quietly begins, with food and wine intertwining into the most moving melody. The aroma of grilled meat mixed with the gentle breeze, each bite is a taste of happiness, and that special cocktail crowns this wonderful time.🍹🥩 Although the regret of full occupancy prevented us from upgrading our room type, the hotel's thoughtful arrangement made us feel very warm—convenient living within a building, enjoying breakfast downstairs, every detail reveals respect and care for the guests.🏠💕 Even more surprising is the hotel's complimentary Platinum Photography experience!

|||~~~I really like Yunnan. I thought Dali was beautiful enough, until I came to Maitreya...|||~~~ I really like Yunnan I went there no less than 10 times. Dali, Lijiang, Kunming, Tengchong Xishuangbanna, Shangri-La Every place is so beautiful besides, There is also a small and low-key treasure town ——Maitreya! The scenery is really not inferior to Lijiang and Dali… It is one of the youngest cities in our country It is also one of the famous “Red Wine Hometowns” Half the city is a park There are also abundant natural hot springs Very suitable for vacation ⛱️ It only takes half a car ride by high-speed rail from Kunming When you go to Yunnan, you must go to Maitreya‼ ️ · 🌟🌟🌟 First time to Maitreya Locals recommend this route‼ ️ Collect and copy homework, 4 days and 3 nights will be relaxing and not tiring👍 💟Day1: Kunming → Maitreya Station → Dongfeng Yun Scenic Area, stay at Dongfeng Yun MGallery Select Hotel 💟Day2: Dongfeng Yun Scenic Area → Yunnan Red Winery → Keyi Town → Huquan Ecological Park, stay at Huquan Tianyi Hotel 💟Day3: Huquan Ecological Park → Jinping Mountain Scenic Area → Taiping Lake Forest Park, stay at Taiping Lake Forest Wooden House Hotel 💟Day4: Taiping Lake Forest Park → next stop or return · 📷A must-check in for Maitreya🔝 ❶Dongfeng Yun Scenic Spot: The red brick castle is like walking into a fairy tale kingdom. There is also a huge sea of ​​flowers in the scenic area, which is very romantic. ❷ Taiping Lake Forest Park: It covers a total area of ​​42 square kilometers, with a sea of ​​colorful flowers, a rocky desert cactus area, the earth art landscape Princess Taiping, and forest wooden houses, which are very photogenic. ❸Keyi Town: A quaint Yi village with a history of more than 370 years. The houses in the entire town are warm yellow. There are few tourists here, and walking in the village is very leisurely. You can watch the Axi moon dancing performance at the Moon Dance Square, appreciate the rich Axi culture, and feel the authentic Yi customs. ❹ Yunnan Red Winery: As one of the hometowns of red wine, you can learn about red wine culture and production technology in the red winery, and immerse yourself in the aroma of red wine. ❺ Jinping Mountain Scenic Area: Of course when you go to Maitreya, you have to pay homage to the famous Maitreya Buddha. After going up 1,999 steps, you reach the foot of the 19.99-meter-high Maitreya Buddha. ❻Huquan Ecological Park: Maitreya Little Sanya is full of tropical style and natural hot springs, suitable for vacation and relaxation. 🌟In Maitreya’s 4-day and 3-night itinerary, the three hotels we stayed in were all unique. My favorite is [Huquan Tianyi Hotel]. All room types are Southeast Asian-style villas, and there are private baths in the courtyard. It's really suitable for traveling and relaxing. The location is in Huquan Ecological Park, which is very convenient.

Because this trip was solo, I strictly controlled my travel budget, and the place I stayed on the day I arrived in Kunming was 👉 Mile Dongfengyun Niu Duo Luo Music Farm I originally went for the night view of Dongfengyun Scenic Area🌃, but it was too late when I arrived, and I missed the sunset🌇 Dongfengyun was created by a talented artist from Mile, Yunnan, named Luo Xu. It is said that he was inspired by his child's doodles on paper and had a sudden idea to create this series of buildings. The buildings are all made of red bricks, without using a single steel bar or nail, forming an architectural complex with themes such as kaleidoscope, half a cloud, and seal. The construction of this building took only 300 days, using 300,000 red bricks, and built such a red brick arch structure that even architects couldn't help but marvel at. ⭕️ Dinner was at the Chinese restaurant of 👉 Dongfengyun Meijing Pavilion Select Hotel, mainly because I only got the rented car🚗 at 5:30 pm, and it was almost 8 pm when I arrived in Mile City. ⭕️ Meijing Pavilion Hotel is outside the Dongfengyun Scenic Area, just show your order🎫 to enter the hotel. ⚠️ After that, I had an extremely unpleasant dining experience, please avoid this restaurant⚠️ ⚠️ I walked into the restaurant from the lobby and there was no staff to greet me, not even a glass of water🥃 was poured, and I ended up pouring it myself; ⚠️ It took 15 minutes to take my order after sitting down, and only after asking several times did they take my order; ⚠️ It took 30 minutes to serve the dishes🥣 after ordering, and I was told that the service ends at 9 pm, it was the first time I finished a hot pot meal in 15 minutes; ⚠️ The table next to me even got the wrong pot base🍲❗️ ⭕️ It was already 9 pm after dinner, so I hurried to Niu Duo Luo to check in. The homestay is inside the scenic area, just show the order information to the gatekeeper and you don't need to buy a ticket🎫 to enter the scenic area❗️ ⭕️ Following the navigation🧭, I quickly arrived at the homestay. Since it was a dead-end road, the housekeeper said it was fine to park the car on the side of the road as long as it didn't affect other cars. ⭕️ Since it was the off-season for tourism, the housekeeper upgraded my room for free😄 from the annex to the main building. ⭕️ The housekeeper was very enthusiastic and helped move my luggage🧳 to the room. The room was large and clean, and I always felt like I had come to Spain🇪🇸. ⭕️ The homestay included breakfast the next day🥣, and now that I think about it, the rice noodles served to me were Mile's special braised chicken rice noodles🍜 in addition to the self-service fruits, bread, and stir-fried dishes. ⭕️ After eating and drinking, I took photos and checked in at the scenic area. It's really too good for photos📷 here, with blue skies and white clouds🌞 and plenty of light, but often you may have to compete with the aunties for a spot. Of course, you will also meet many beautiful👩 ladies. ⭕️ When leaving, I grouped another afternoon tea☕️ package from Meijing Pavilion (of course, I applied for a refund as soon as I entered the hotel). Although the service experience at the Chinese restaurant was not great, the hotel is really beautiful. 💰 Cost summary is as follows: 💰 Meijing Pavilion dinner: 148 💰 Niu Duo Luo accommodation: 380 (including breakfast) 📷 Photo shooting suggestions: 1️⃣ It is recommended to shoot in the afternoon. I shot in the morning, and the angle and intensity of the light were not ideal. The local sunrise in Yunnan is around 7:20 am, and sunset is around 7 pm; 2️⃣ It is said that flying drones is not allowed in the scenic area, but I took off from the homestay to shoot the kaleidoscope; 3️⃣ Classic shooting spots: The main entrance of the Meijing Pavilion lobby can capture the hotel's three large chimneys, and the rest is shooting around the kaleidoscope. Since the main body of the building is quite large and there are many people, you can bring a telephoto lens.

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.

In this noisy world, We always need a place where we can get away from the hustle and bustle. A place to relax and feel inner peace. Mile East Wind Rhythm MGallery is such a place. Walking into the hotel lobby, I was attracted by the bowl-like shape. The design is simple and clear. Full of the breath of modern art, It makes people feel an unprecedented sense of beauty. Every area in the hotel is worth visiting. Promise me, Be sure to visit every corner! Because every yard has a different theme! Don’t leave any of the five courtyards behind! This time we stayed in the Zunying room type. Since the building itself is not a regular shape, So some parts of the room will be a little strange, But overall it is still very warm and comfortable. The most surprising part is the double shower setting. This is the first time I see such a design in a hotel. All the spare parts have been replaced with Oulong. This really touched my heart! 🍽＞ Food: Their breakfast is very unique, you must try the braised chicken rice noodles! There is also the Yunnan-style thin bean powder, which is perfect when paired with fried dough sticks! Fried milk fan is also not found in many hotels. It’s very thoughtful to include sugarcane in the fruit. There are not many dining options around the hotel. You can take a taxi or go to the Dongfengyun Scenic Area for dinner, or you can eat in the hotel. There are group purchase packages. 🌟＞ Highlights: The room card is made of wood. Friends who like to collect room cards must not miss it! 💡＞ You may want to know: The hotel can directly enter the Dongfengyun Scenic Area, and will provide tickets for the Dongfengyun Scenic Area's battery car. #Good place for parents and children #familytravel #Good place for summer #travel #Yunnan

In Yunnan, at the Dongfengyun Town in Mile, I found the meaning of travel: every moment should be free and unique. 🌿 [Why Dongfengyun?] It's known as the "Provence of Central Yunnan," but it's even more magical than Provence! The group of bizarre buildings made of red bricks seems to grow out of a fairy tale. The lavender fields roll in the wind (flowers bloom from April to October, a romantic preview), and the aroma of the grape manor fills the air. There is no hustle and bustle of the city, only the whispers of the wind through the red bricks, and a healing journey of dialogue with oneself. Travel Tips 🎫 Tickets: CNY 60 for adults (discounts for students/seniors, please inquire at the scenic area) ⏰ Opening Hours: 08:30–18:00 (Night tours extended to 22:00 on March 28–29) 🚫 Things to avoid: The scenic area is large, so it is recommended to buy a battery car ticket (CNY 20/person) to save energy for taking photos and daydreaming. 📸 [Photography Philosophy: Relaxed Photos] - Kaleidoscope Art Museum: The "wine bottle" building piled up with red bricks, with interlaced light and shadows. Wear a long white dress and stand under the dome to instantly transform into a blockbuster "escape from reality." - Lavender Manor: The flowering season will begin in April. Run in the purple flower fields, and your back view will be full of freedom (it is recommended to go in the early morning or evening to avoid the crowds. I went early, and the flowers hadn't bloomed yet). - Ban Duo Yun Art Salon: The curved red brick space is matched with warm light. Lie on the sofa and take a lazy photo of "lying flat without guilt." Tips: The buildings in the scenic area are mainly red brick, so it is recommended to wear light-colored clothes! 🚶♀️ [Quit-Your-Job-Style Roaming Guide: Don't Rush, Just Feel the Road] 1️⃣ Transportation: Take the high-speed train directly to Mile Station, and then take a taxi for 10 min to the scenic area (or take bus Dongfeng Special Line 1). 2️⃣ Accommodation: - MGallery Art Hotel: A five-star design hotel with a swimming pool reflecting the red brick buildings, perfect for relaxing. - Niuduoluo Music Farm: A pastoral-style B&B where you can listen to insects at night and watch the mist in the morning. In Dongfengyun, time is no longer a number, but a sway of lavender, a ray of sunset on a red brick. Life should be willful once, and the soul should be given to the wind and freedom. "The brick seams of Dongfengyun hide poetry." ——May you and I always have the courage to set off. 💫
