Yunnan Mile: Dongfengyun – A Red Brick Utopia and Sanctuary for the Soul

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. 💫
