Dongfengyun Red Brick Buildings in Mile

Hidden in Mile, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan, Dongfengyun Town is a new social media hotspot thanks to its fantastic red brick buildings. This "red brick kingdom" created by local artist Luo Xu perfectly combines Yi fire culture and abstract art, like a magical castle growing from the earth. **Must-visit spots:** 1. **Kaleidoscope Art Museum**: The main building resembles a wine bottle and flame, with a hollow red brick dome casting mottled light and shadow. The spiral staircase and pottery exhibits inside are visually striking. 2. **Half Cloud Artist Lounge**: The streamlined red brick cave space, with its curved dome and custom furniture, is a perfect whole. In the afternoon, sunlight shines through the holes, casting beautiful light spots. 3. **Colorful Flower Field**: In spring, the lavender and windmills form a French-style garden, while in autumn and winter, the sea of sage flowers and red brick buildings complement each other. **Travel tips:** - 📍Transportation: 1.5 hours' drive from Kunming, 15 minutes by taxi from Mile High-speed Railway Station - 🕒Visit in the early morning or at dusk to avoid strong light and take better photos - �The buildings are free to visit, but the kaleidoscope exhibition requires a ticket (about CNY 40) - 📷Use a wide-angle lens to capture the panoramic view of the buildings, and wear plain clothes to highlight the subject You can also visit Taiping Lake Forest Park (Cactus Kingdom) and Yunnan Red Wine Estate nearby.
