Dongfengyun Sceneic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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.

Yunnan Travel Guide 6｜Mile Day Tour Nanny Level Outing Guide
The last stop of our trip to Yunnan
Our family of three came to "Mile", a city named after Buddha.
We drove from Kunming for 2h and arrived here for a day trip.
Posted on WeChat Moments, everyone thought we went abroad‼
▪Mile Day Tour Itinerary:
Dongfeng Yun Scenic Area➡ Liangsheng Original Snacks➡ Lake Spring Ecological Park➡ Buddha City Shangdu➡ Taiping Lake Forest Park➡ Return
🛕8:30-9:00📍Kunming South—Mile Station (High Speed Rail) 30min
🛕9:00-12:00📍Honghe Dongfeng Yun Small Town
The most photogenic place in Mile! The small castles built with red bricks one by one are as cute as clay pots, like a fairy tale world. Friends circle was asked to explode, very exotic, everyone thought I went abroad.
Personally, I think the small houses in the silver series at the gate are more photogenic than the main scenic area, don't miss it!!
🛕12:00-13:00📍Liangsheng Original Snacks
It is a Mile specialty snack, recommended fried potatoes, rose ice water and ice floating glutinous rice, it is said to be a 23-year-old shop, recommended by locals!
🛕13:00-15:00📍Lake Spring Ecological Park
It's a park like Sanya's seaside, right next to Liangsheng, surrounded by a circle of palm trees🌴 The lake is super blue, and there is a large golden beach, it's really beautiful~
🛕15:00-16:00📍Buddha City Shangdu
It is mainly a market for buying local agricultural and sideline foods in Mile. There is a super large fruit stand on the first floor, and there are some rare Mile specialty agricultural products on the fourth floor.
🛕16:00-18:00📍Taiping Lake Forest Park
It is recommended to go directly to the Desertification Park, where there is a large forest of different types of cacti🌵 in the stone desert, as if in "Morocco".
-
Mile is highly recommended for everyone to arrange in the Yunnan travel itinerary, especially for sisters who come to Kunming, it is very convenient to take the high-speed rail for half an hour.
You can take different "exotic" photos, taste Mile food, it is a super fulfilling and interesting day~

Kunming, Jianshui, Mengzi, Mile, a train spring tour guide to four lesser-known cities in Yunnan
"Yunnan's eighteen oddities, do trains run slower than cars?" nono, now train travel in Yunnan is as convenient as it gets! Join me, Yaya, this spring on a train journey through the beautiful Yunnan, checking in at four cities in four days.
Day one Kunming city walk
Touch the historical and warm buildings of Yunnan
In the morning, encounter the beauty of early spring at Cuihu (Green Lake) with birds singing and seagulls flying overhead, then visit the Yunnan Military Academy across the street to feel the charm of a century-old military school, and explore the mysterious mansion of Lu Han, who once initiated the Yunnan uprising. In the afternoon, head to Kunming's old street to check in at Fuzhao Tower, and don't miss the most beautiful corner, the Moon-Embracing Tower.
tips It is recommended to experience authentic Yunnan cuisine at the Southwest United University themed restaurant next to Fuzhao Tower, and consider staying at the Moon-Embracing Tower Hotel, which is very sentimental.
Day two Jianshui Kunming-Jianshui by train 2 hours
A city with picturesque landscapes, Jianshui with a thousand years of culture
Jianshui Ancient Town: Visit the Chaoyang Tower that has witnessed 600 years of time, walk through the Li Men Yi Lu (Ceremonial Gate and Righteous Path) in the Jianshui Confucian Temple, which is second only to the Confucian Temple in Shandong, stroll through the exquisite Zhu Family Garden, known as the Grand View Garden of the Southwest frontier, and search for ancient wells hidden in the alleys of the old town... Each one bears witness to the living ancient city of Jianshui
Jianshui Ancient Town Mini Train: There is also one of the only remaining French-style meter-gauge mini trains in the country, with wooden carriages, the temperature and sentiment of an old era, slowly taking you to unknown sceneries station by station.
Jianshui Cuisine: Said to be the pinnacle of the Yunnan food pyramid, such as Jianshui tofu made with well water from Dabanjing, the must-try steam pot chicken feast, and the casual strolling and eating on Jianshui Purple Pottery Street, with freshly baked food that is full of the taste of life.
tips
The mini train takes 4 hours for the whole journey, with a round-trip ticket costing 100, passing by Shuanglong Bridge, Xianghui Bridge, and Tuanshan folk residences, all worth getting off to visit.
Day three Mengzi Jianshui-Mengzi by train 1 hour
In the morning in Mengzi, you must have a bowl of cross-bridge rice noodles from its place of origin, recommended at the Fire Burning House.
In the morning, visit the Bise Village Station, a filming location for the movie 'Youth', a small Paris brought by train, full of French charm. Be sure to dress up in Republic of China school uniforms or cheongsams for photos (renting a set for 10 yuan is too cheap).
In the afternoon, wander around the old site of the Southwest Associated University in Mengzi, as well as the nearby Nanhu Park and the most beautiful Yunnan bookstore, the Southwest Associated University Pioneer Bookstore. After dinner, take a night boat tour on Nanhu Lake in a covered boat, which is very comfortable.
Day four Mile Mengzi-Mile by train 1 hour
"This is a city whose name is full of temptation."
Mile Dongfengyun Art Town: A magical city in the East is built with red bricks, with castles from an ancient mystery appearing like a kaleidoscope inside, the illusion as if from the future, and the design lines of hotels and art centers are very beautiful, making for great photo opportunities.
Mile Taiping Lake Forest Park: It's like falling into another dream.
The flower sea here is so vast, it connects into a piece like a secret garden out of a Monet painting, and the Cactus Park is like traveling to Morocco.
The four-day train journey is wonderfully comfortable, and perhaps only by experiencing it yourself will you understand the affection Yunnan people have for these small towns, wanting to privately own the feelings of each.

DongFengYun Hotel Mi'Le - MGallery Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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.

🏨 Maitreya Dongfengyun Meijing Pavilion Select Hotel
📍 Maitreya Grape Sightseeing Avenue Dongfengyun Scenic Area
In the northern part of the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in the southeastern part of Yunnan, there is a beautiful town known as the 'Provence of Central Yunnan'—Maitreya. Blessed by nature and culture, it is a place of leisure, and the Dongfengyun Meijing Pavilion Select Hotel is situated in the Dongfengyun Art Town on this land.
Dongfengyun Art Town was created by the renowned Chinese sculptor master Luo Xu, and the main architectural complex showcases the extraordinary skill of art and architecture in natural scenes. The town consists of vineyards, lavender fields, and a large number of postmodern buildings, each building is like a work of art, giving a strong visual impact and spiritual shock.
- Rooms
The hotel has 9 types of rooms, totaling 232 rooms, each decorated with earth tones, terrazzo flooring, interspersed with raw wood, stone, printed and dyed fabrics, perfectly displaying the local materials and craftsmanship of Yunnan. Whether it's the rest sofa beside the bed, the fabric bed flags on the bed, or the strongly grounded woven carpets, they all give a sense of warmth.
- Amenities
Whether it's the rest sofa beside the bed, the fabric bed flags on the bed, or the strongly grounded woven carpets, they all give a sense of warmth. The terrazzo-paved bathroom comes with a separate shower compartment, equipped with French skincare family Ines dela Fressange's bath set, helping you to eliminate fatigue and nourish body and mind.
- Public Area
The minimalist design of the public area provides a space for guests to empty themselves and bring inspiration. From the hustle and bustle of the city to the tranquility of the countryside, the space that could have been used to build more rooms is released, leaving each guest with tranquility and thought.
- Dining
From the lobby bar to the Yinjue all-day dining restaurant, to the Xuan lobby bar, each place is filled with an artistic atmosphere. The restaurant offers a buffet that includes global flavors and local specialties, as well as seasonal themes, and can also customize exclusive dining experiences with local flair.
- Experience
Adjacent to the lobby is the Xuan lobby bar, and as Maitreya is the location of Yunnan's vineyards, it offers an extremely rich wine list, including grape wines, classic and personalized cocktails, and hundreds of whiskies from around the world.

Mile Hotel Recommendation
Breakfast is quite good, not too crowded, and the environment is quiet. The entire restaurant is designed to be open and bright, making one feel comfortable. The hotel is located within the Dongfeng Yun Scenic Area, and it only takes 2 minutes to walk to the scenic area from our room, which allows for easy access in and out of the scenic area, very convenient. However, the scenic area prohibits the entry of individual visitors after 5:30 pm, so there's not much to do after sunset, even the dining facilities are closed.
The hotel's design is very distinctive, making it a great place for photography. The bathrobe is comfortable, and the room's design also suits my taste, very suitable for a family vacation. The infinity pool is also beautiful, with a perfect combination of natural and cultural landscapes, creating a delightful mood.
SeekingNewFrontiers
Mile Dongfengyun Town in Honghe, Yunnan, resembles the ancient Babylon on the Mesopotamian plain
Some say it is the ancient Babylon of the Mesopotamian plain,
some say it is Yunnan's Eastern little Morocco. It seems like an otherworldly artifact, existing in a world of different ethnicities.
It boasts unique shapes and artistic visual effects, creating an irreplicable beauty in Mile Dongfengyun Art Town.
Take your baby on a global journey, stop 19: Mile!
The Utopia of Mile Dongfengyun in Yunnan has become a hotspot for many design enthusiasts.
The novelty of succulents and cacti creates an exotic world akin to a Moroccan garden, as if Alice has tumbled down the rabbit hole, embarking on a journey to another world.
Apart from art lovers, it is also suitable for family trips. This time, bring your baby to check in and start another era.
For accommodation, you can choose the nearby Yunnan Mile Dongfengyun Meijing Hotel, a collection of original buildings freely grown along the terrain designed by the renowned artist Luo Xu, and the interior space created by CCD Zheng Zhong Design Studio conveys a peaceful and settled atmosphere that blends natural elements with local culture.
The Dongfengyun Kaleidoscope is the most photogenic spot, with the best lighting in the evening. Don't miss it!
Now the lavender fields are not yet in bloom, but the grapes are already ripe.

Taiping Lake Forest Chalet, Mile Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
In Mile! My friends circle thought I went abroad
I went to the Mile Taiping Lake International Ecotourism Resort with my friends over the weekend!
It made me feel as if I was in a fairy tale world from a Hayao Miyazaki movie🌈
As soon as I entered the park, the sea of pink flowers🌸 was breathtaking.
The cherry blossoms and beautiful sakura are in full bloom right now.
It's like a visual feast specially prepared by nature for us.
The scenic area has set up a 'Romantic Flower Sea Station' on the cloud for photo check-ins.
Taking pictures here is super cinematic!
The only regret is not wearing a little white dress👗~

Now is the 'Pink Spring Festival' of the scenic area!
There are limited-time flower feasts, spring flower sea camping parties, food markets, and other activities!

Taiping Lake Forest Chalet Hotel Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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......

What? Staying at a hotel in Maitreya comes with a ten-thousand-acre backyard garden
Don't doubt it, it's true 🤣
👍 Because the Taiping Lake Forest Cabin Hotel is located inside the scenic area!
They offer a variety of hotel room types to choose from, such as cabin villas, RVs, tent camping, etc.
Since we had a larger group, we chose the cabin villa 🏡
🤩 The moment you step into the hotel, you feel like you've entered a forest oxygen bar, in close contact with nature!
It's very pleasant to sit in the small courtyard with family and friends, soaking up the sun, drinking tea, and chatting!
-
The scenic area is currently in the midst of the "Pink Spring Festival" event 💕
🌸 The mountains are full of cherry blossoms and the beautiful cherry blossom sea is all pink!
It's like being in a dreamy pink fairy tale world ✨

I don't want to leave at all!
There's also a romantic flower sea station above the clouds for check-in~

Mt. Jinping Scenic Resort Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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!
W.ll.
Jinping Mountain Scenic Area
Mile Jinping Mountain Scenic Area is a famous Buddhist holy land in southeastern Yunnan. It is home to the world's largest Maitreya sitting Buddha statue, which stands at 19.99 meters tall. Upon entering the temple through the main gate, one must climb 1999 steps to see this constantly smiling Buddha! From his dignified and beaming expression, one can feel the brilliance of the Buddha's nature shining like gold. It will bestow upon the destined a pure heart, a friendly body and mind, a harmonious family, and great fortune in their career!
1. The shuttle bus costs 15 yuan for a one-way trip, and 20 yuan for a round trip. The ticket seller specifically reminds that if you buy a round trip but only take a one-way trip, there will be no refund.
2. It is recommended to only buy a one-way ticket. Take the bus to the top of the mountain, then walk down to the foot of the mountain. This way, you can see the scenery along the way. If you take the shuttle bus for both trips, you can only see the big Buddha at the top of the mountain and miss the scenery on the way.
3. If you arrive in the morning, you can try the vegetarian meals (business hours 11:00-13:30).
4. Maitreya Temple is located within the Jinscreen Mountain Scenic Area, navigate to Jinscreen Mountain

Jinping Mountain Scenic Area in Mile, Yunnan, features the Colorful Pond
The Jinping Mountain Scenic Area is a landmark attraction in Mile, and a major highlight is the giant Maitreya Buddha statue at the top of the mountain. I headed straight for the Colorful Pond on the side of the scenic area. Under the clear sky, the pond is man-made, and the water is not a deposit of calcium carbonate, which makes the colors rather monotonous. However, the structure is unique and, coupled with the vibrant plants, there is a beauty that catches the eye. It's nice to wander around in the vast space at leisure. The scenic area is far from the downtown area, but you can reach the entrance by taking the No. 12 bus. This is also the farthest place I've visited during my stay in Mile. To see the Maitreya Buddha, you need to climb the mountain (there is a fee), but the Colorful Pond is free to visit.
🚉Travel Tips: Get off at the entrance of the scenic area on the No. 12 bus
👍Highly Recommended: Visiting the Colorful Pond is free
