A one day tour in Mi Le is absolutely possible. Especially if you are seeking for an escape from Kunming city to see a different side of local life. We took a 2-way high speed train from Kunming to Mi Le that is easily booked via Trip.com, because we know August is the grapes season in Mi Le! A lot of people didn’t know that there are vineyards and winery at Mi Le, so we came here to check out seasonal grapes and local wines. The weather is warmer in Mi Le compared to Kunming, so do come dress in summer clothes and put on your sunscreen protection and sun glasses. Here’s our simple itinerary: 1. DongFengYun 东风韵 - Near to Mi Le station and it’s the top iconic attraction place that kept showing up in social media. Suggest to buy tickets via Trip.com because ticket queues can be long. And do get the entrance ticket together with 2-way buggy rides as the place is huge. 2. Yunnan winery tour - 6 mins drive away from DongFenYun only. Quick tour that allows tourists to see their underground cellar and a chance to taste their local specialty wine, rose honey. I can’t find the ticket via trip.com so I bought it at ticketing office. You can exchange the tour ticket for alcohol purchase or even grape juice. I love their grape ice cream that is made from their sweet grapes, absolutely delicious! 😋 This is also the place where we learnt the types of grapes grown in Mi Le. However for the foreigners, communicating with the tour guide might be challenging if you can’t speak mandarin. I would suggest that you skip the winery and go check out their vineyards for grapes that are not sold in local markets. 3. Local multi storey market at 佛城商都 The weather is too hot for us to visit the vineyards near the winery, so we head straight to local market to grab some grapes. 🍇 The didi driver was friendly and recommended us on the types of grapes to buy. He also shared that level 4 of the market has wild mushrooms as well, since August is also wild mushrooms season. What we didn’t expect to see, is the edible pupae that is also on sale on level 4! 4. Their local braised chicken mi xian shop near the train station is delicious. Recommend to try it, but do request for more meat for extra fee as the meat portion is too little. Tips: Before you come Mi Le, check the weather forecast and what seasonal fruits you might get. It’s a pity I failed to visit local vineyard due to hot sun, but I think it’s still worth coming back for other seasonal fruits like blueberries and strawberries in future. #米勒

If you're looking for cooler weather, breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and unforgettable local experiences, Honghe deserves a spot on your China bucket list. From the iconic red-brick architecture of Dongfengyun Art Town, the dreamy lavender fields, and the fascinating Kaleidoscope Art Museum, to the charming streets of Jianshui Ancient Town, every stop surprised me in the best way. Whether you're into photography, culture, nature, or food, Honghe offers the perfect summer escape away from the crowds. Which place would you visit first? 💛 📍Honghe, Yunnan, China #TripPal #YunnanTravel #Nature #ChinaTravel #UNESCO

This place is absolutely beautiful guys! #chinatravel #foreignersinchina #foreignersinchina #china #CulturalDifferencesBetweenChinaandtheWest #domesticandforeigndifferences

Jianshui and Lin’an ancient town don’t charge admission. Chaoyang Tower was built 28 years before Tiananmen! Early in the morning, locals gather by the Dabajing well to fetch water. Grilled tofu for 0.5 yuan and grass sprout rice noodles are so fresh they’ll make your tongue tingle. Ride the century-old narrow-gauge train through rice fields, watch the sunset at the Seventeen-Arch Bridge in the evening, where the golden light shines through the arches—your social feed will be legendary. Mangshi, a Dai-flavored town on the China-Myanmar border, has no tour groups! The golden pagoda dazzles under the sun, and the silver pagoda’s reflection looks like Chiang Mai. At Bingwu village’s morning market, you can buy a bunch of tropical fruit for just a few yuan, with spicy and sour flavors that whet your appetite, and ice-cold puluda drinks. You’ll be the only tourist in the whole town—pure bliss. Weishan is just 40 minutes from Dali but feels like another world. No bars, no trendy shops, just locals soaking up the sun. Start your day with pork and rice noodles paired with a stick of dough, then climb Weibao Mountain with the ancient town at your feet—this is the real “I own a place in Dali” feeling. Lufeng has dinosaur fossils right beneath your feet! Heijing ancient town is tucked in a mountain valley, with stone-paved streets polished shiny by footsteps and the aroma of salt-braised pork filling the alleys. Wutai Mountain’s forest canopy blocks out the sun, making it feel like a natural air conditioner in summer. Then there’s Guangnan Bamei, accessible only by boat through karst caves. Once you exit the cave, you’ll see rice fields and old houses—this is exactly the Peach Blossom Land Tao Yuanming wrote about! Mile’s red brick kaleidoscope buildings look like a fairy tale, and the underground hot springs will relax you completely. The high-speed train makes it easy to go anytime. Tengchong Heshun ancient town’s morning market serves rare bean powder with fried dough sticks, and the ginkgo village turns golden in autumn. Menglian is the last Dai ancient town, with tea gardens under golden pagodas, hand-held meals served on banana leaves, and spicy, sour pounded chicken feet that pack a punch. A few tips: The high-speed train goes directly to Jianshui and Mile; driving is more flexible for the others. Visit Guangnan and Lufeng to cool off in summer, chase the ginkgo in Tengchong in autumn, and soak up the sun in Mangshi and Menglian in winter. Guesthouses start just above 100 yuan, and street food costs about 30 yuan per person to eat your fill. Remember your ID at the border, and drive carefully in the mountains during the rainy season. Yunnan has so many great places—don’t just focus on Dali and Lijiang. Would you rather visit border Dai villages, rural ancient towns, or hot spring towns to relax? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll help you explore next time!

A fantastic stay experience Set menu for two Tucked behind the Dongfengyun Scenic Area (just a little further past the Kaleidoscope attraction) is a hotel boasting stunning views and delectable food—the MGallery Hotel. We grabbed a super affordable set menu for two on Dianping. It came with nine courses, each exquisite, delicious, and offering great value for money.

#myfootballnight Mile (弥勒 / Mǐlè), famed for Huquan Hot Springs and the Yunnan Red (DY Red) vineyards, offers an unusually scenic option—the expansive lawns flanking the Huquan Golf Club and Lake Spring (湖泉生态园 / Húquán Shēngtài Yuán). While there isn't always a fixed council‑run screen, during World Cup years the resort's western lawn sometimes hosts a pop‑up projection, or you simply bring a portable projector / tablet + Bluetooth speaker (low volume out of courtesy) and join other picnicking families on the grass. I did this for an early‑morning (European time) group stage match: picked up a bottle of Yunnan Red dry red and a box of rose cake (玫瑰鲜花饼)from the downtown pastry shops, cycled from my spa hotel to the lakeside lawn, spread a mat near the willows, and propped my iPad on a cooler box. The morning mist burned off the lake, egrets skimmed the water, and Ronaldo scored—all before 10 AM local time. If you prefer an organised screen, check with Huquan Hotel's lobby bar—they often show big matches on their indoor 65" with the option to sit on the terrace. Mile is 40 mins by high‑speed rail from Kunming (Mile Station); spa resorts cluster around the lake (¥200–¥500/night incl. hot spring access). I recommend this because Mile is Yunnan's most unexpected wine country—pairing a World Cup breakfast with local Cabernet while swans paddle past is surreal in the best way. Slow, indulgent, photogenic. That's a vinous #myfootballnight in Mile.

When Dali and Lijiang are crowded with tourists like a market, I found this 600-year-old Yi ethnic earth building village hidden in the mountain valleys of Luxi. More than 1,000 earth houses stack from the foot of the mountain to the top, with the roof of the house below serving as the drying yard and courtyard for the house above. The whole village looks like it grew out of the earth itself. The moment you step into Chengzi ancient village, the earthy and firewood scents hit you, and the whole world suddenly slows down, filling you with a deep sense of healing. 🛣️Transportation guide Self-drive: Navigate to Chengzi ancient village in Luxi. About 2.5 hours from Kunming, take the Shankun Expressway to the Luxi exit, then drive 40 minutes on rural roads to the village. The entire route is paved. There is free parking at the village entrance. High-speed rail + taxi: Take the train to Mile station, then taxi about 50 minutes for 80 yuan directly to Chengzi ancient village. Alternatively, take a shared ride from Mile station for 20 yuan per person to Luxi county, then transfer to rural bus. Bus: From Kunming East Bus Station to Luxi county costs 45 yuan. At the county bus station, take the rural bus toward Yongning township for 10 yuan and tell the driver to drop you off at Chengzi ancient village. 💃Must-visit spots 🎫: Currently free admission. Park at the village entrance and walk in. Earth building panoramic platform: The hillside opposite the village is the best spot to photograph the entire village. Over 1,000 yellow earth houses stack like a human pyramid from the foot to the top of the mountain, with corn and chili drying on the roofs, creating a golden and red sea. How to enjoy: Arrive before sunset. The setting sun turns the earth walls golden red, smoke rises from each rooftop, and time-lapse photography of the shifting light and shadows is stunning. Bring a telephoto lens to capture villagers walking on the roofs and children playing. The lively atmosphere is deeply moving. Rooftop passage: The essence of the earth buildings lies in the rooftops. The village’s roofs connect to form a three-dimensional network. You walk on the roof of the house below while the people above dry grain at a higher level. How to enjoy: Ask a household for permission to go onto their roof. From the rooftop perspective, shoot the crisscrossing alleys and earth walls below. When posting on social media, people will ask if you went to Morocco. Be careful to step lightly and avoid damaging the waterproof layer on the roof. General’s residence: The best-preserved three-courtyard earth building compound in the village, with carved wooden doors and windows paired with rammed earth walls, rough yet delicate. How to enjoy: Stand in the courtyard and shoot upward. The earth walls contrast sharply with the blue sky, and the shadows of the carved window patterns on the walls add texture. Morning light slanting into the courtyard creates the richest layers. Sister walls: Two century-old earth walls standing side by side, weathered by rain into wave-like patterns, like two people standing together witnessing the village’s rise and fall. How to enjoy: Stand between the two walls and have a friend shoot from the front. The texture of the earth walls blends with the distant mountains behind, creating a strong storytelling effect. 🎯Special experience: The village elders still keep the craft of hand-weaving bamboo baskets. Squat at the alley entrance and watch their fingers fly as they finish a basket in half an hour. Buying one for 50 yuan is warmer than any souvenir. Route: panoramic platform → rooftop passage → general’s residence → sister walls → village alley stroll. Take two hours to explore slowly. 🍜Food recommendations Luxi roasted potatoes: At a small stall at the village entrance, potatoes are buried in charcoal ash and slow-cooked. Peel and dip in spicy dry sauce. Crispy outside, sandy and sticky inside, 5 yuan per bowl. Simple happiness at its best. Chengzi cured pork: Village native pigs smoked with pine and cypress branches produce old cured pork. Sliced and steamed until translucent and oily, rich but not greasy, salty and sweet, 35 yuan per plate. Delicious with brown rice, you’ll lick the bowl clean. Buckwheat pancake: Yi ethnic grandma makes it fresh on a wood stove with bitter buckwheat flour. Dip in wild honey. Slightly bitter then sweet, full of buckwheat aroma, 3 yuan each, very filling. Best eaten hot right off the stove. Pickled cabbage red bean soup: Homemade pickled cabbage and red beans slow-cooked in a clay pot. Sour, spicy, and appetizing, beans cooked to a sandy texture, 8 yuan per bowl. Perfect with soaked rice. 🏠Accommodation recommendations (in the village and Luxi county) Budget: Village homestay dorm beds 50–80 yuan. Sleep on wooden beds in earth buildings, listen to insects and watch stars at night. Simple conditions but priceless experience. Comfort: Hotels in Luxi county 130–200 yuan, with air conditioning and hot water. After visiting the ancient village, return to the county for a shower and recharge. Premium: Hot spring resort hotels in Mile starting at 380 yuan, with private hot spring pools. After exploring the earth building village, soak in the red wine hot springs in Mile for double the healing. When everyone rushes to Dali and Lijiang to squeeze into popular photo spots, Chengzi ancient village offers free admission and 600-year-old earth buildings, giving me a healing experience where even the air smells of earth. Sitting on the roof watching smoke rise between layers of earth walls, the worries that make you anxious suddenly feel as light as the ash drifting from a chimney. ⚠️Tips 1. Get villagers’ permission before going on the roof. Step lightly to avoid damaging the waterproof layer. Their roof is the ceiling of the house below. 2. The village alleys are as complex as a maze. Remember your way back or follow the signs. Don’t blame me if you get lost. 3. There are few convenience stores in the village. Bring your own water and snacks. Sitting on a rooftop for a picnic is more upscale than any restaurant.

Located in Mile, Yunnan, "Dongfengyun" may be a man-made attraction, but its stunning landscaping and vibrant floral displays will easily sweep you off your feet and make you never want to leave. 🚌 Getting There: You can catch the "Dongfeng Express Line 1" from downtown Mile right to the park's entrance. A one-way ticket is about 4 RMB per person, and the ride takes roughly 40 minutes. 🎟️ Admission: 80 RMB for adults; 20 RMB for the sightseeing shuttle. ⏳ Time Needed: Half a day to a full day 🚶➡️ Recommended Route: Hill of Flowers (Huazhiqiu) —> Seal Workshop (Yinzhangfang) —> Cultural & Creative Market —> Kaleidoscope (Wanhuatong) —> Waterscape Square —> International Art Center 📌 Tips: 1. The park is massive. Seniors can take the sightseeing shuttle straight to the "International Art Center" (the highest point in the park). The view from the observation deck looking down is absolutely gorgeous, especially of the "Kaleidoscope". Personally, I skipped the shuttle ticket and just strolled and snapped photos along the way; walking up the incline wasn't tiring at all. 2. The Cultural & Creative Market near the Seal Workshop has plenty of dining options with pretty reasonable prices. It's a great spot to grab lunch. 3. The park is bursting with flora, and in May, it transforms into a purple sea of flowers that screams Provence. However, this also means there's very little shade. Be sure to load up on sunscreen and bring plenty of bottled water. Buying water inside the park is a bit pricey at around 4 RMB a bottle, but there is a 7-Eleven in the shopping area where you can stock up. 4. While many say the architecture at Dongfengyun has a Moroccan vibe, I personally felt strong echoes of the Spanish architectural genius, Antoni Gaudí. The interior of the famous "Kaleidoscope" feels just like the soaring towers of the Sagrada Família, and the "Waterscape Square" reminds me of the mosaic lizard fountain at Park Güell. Stepping in here feels like entering a magical kingdom where your imagination can run wild. 5. I highly recommend spending a night inside the park. There are both luxury hotels and budget-friendly guesthouses (around 400–600 RMB per night). Stays usually include your admission ticket, making it a better deal than buying tickets separately. Plus, you can catch the illuminated water fountain show at the Waterscape Square at night, allowing you to enjoy completely different vibes by day and night.

Starting from downtown Chengde, the car wound through the Yanshan mountain foothills for over an hour. The navigation showed we had arrived, but looking left and right, all I saw were continuous mountain ranges and scattered farmhouses—there was no sign of what a "scenic area" should look like. It wasn’t until I opened the car door and looked up to see the winding gray wall on the distant ridge—the Jinshanling Great Wall—quietly resting in the sunset that I understood: Hualou Valley Village is not a "scenic spot," it is a home at the foot of the Great Wall. The village is small. Walking along the village road, every few steps you can see Great Wall photographs hanging on the walls—surging seas of clouds, starry skies, vast snowy scenes—each one looks like the work of a professional photographer. But the homestay owner told me these were all taken by the villagers themselves. Since the Jinshanling Great Wall opened to the public in the 1980s, the farmers of Hualou Valley Village began to engage in photography, guiding visitors who came to shoot the Great Wall. Watching them, they picked up cameras themselves. Now, this small mountain village of over 1,800 people has more than 50 members in its photography association, including two members of the China Photographers Association, earning it the nickname "Great Wall Photography Art Village." Staying overnight in a village homestay, I could see the silhouette of the Great Wall just by opening the window. The owner, a warm local guy, brought out a plate of homemade stir-fried eggs with firewood and a bowl of corn porridge, insisting on sitting down to chat with me. He told me the village used to be poor, and young people left; now, thanks to Great Wall tourism and homestays, hundreds of families earn money right at their doorstep. What makes him prouder is that his second uncle is a Great Wall protector for the Jinshanling section, patrolling for over twenty years, walking four to five kilometers of mountain paths daily, remembering every brick, tile, blade of grass, and tree on the wall. When he said this, he suddenly stood up, pointed to the Great Wall in the night outside the window, and said, "We used to think the Great Wall was just next to our village. Now we say—the Great Wall is our lifeline." The next morning at 5:30, led by villagers, I climbed the Great Wall. The morning mist had not yet cleared; the watchtowers and walls appeared faintly in the sea of clouds, and golden sunlight slowly spread over the ridge. The farmer-photographer guide set up his tripod, adjusting the settings while turning back to smile at me, saying, "Look, this is the view right outside our door." At that moment, I suddenly understood—the most touching thing about this village is not how close it is to the Great Wall, but that every person here truly loves this Great Wall. It is not a ticketed attraction fenced off, but their "own yard" that they see every morning when they open the door and walk on every evening. It takes only about ten minutes on foot from Hualou Valley Village to the Jinshanling Great Wall scenic area entrance. The village has hundreds of unique homestays, providing both food and lodging, and at night you can chat with farmer-photographers about Great Wall stories. If you come here, don’t just treat it as a place to stay—spend a night, get up early, and climb the Great Wall with the villagers. You will find the most beautiful scenery is never just in the lens, but in the eyes of those willing to share the Great Wall’s stories with you.
