    The Fairy Tale Castle Closest to Your Heart | Dongfeng Yun in Yunnan's Mile

    Dongfeng Yun is a man-made scenic area designed by artist Luo Xu. It is said to have been built with over 7 million red bricks and is known as 'Little Morocco'. The architectural style is very distinctive and offers superb photo opportunities. Xiuwei Gate The white building at the entrance of the scenic area is also quite beautiful for taking pictures. Kaleidoscope Art Museum The building, shaped like a red brick wine bottle with a flame, integrates Mile's red wine culture with the fire culture of the Yi minority's Axi people, creating a strong visual impact. Every casual snapshot is a masterpiece! Half Cloud Artist's Reception Room The construction style of Half Cloud is basically the same as that of the Kaleidoscope Art Museum, with strange shapes, but it resembles 'a half cloud at the edge of the sky'. Colorful Flower Field, also known as Lavender Manor This place is hailed as the 'Provence of Central Yunnan', but actually, there is no lavender, haha, it's all large patches of verbena, with the flowering period from April to October~ There is also a railway in the flower sea, engraved with 'I love you' in different languages. Stamp Workshop At the end of the flower field is the Stamp Workshop, which unlike the rounded buildings of the Kaleidoscope and Reception Room, is angular and cylindrical, arranged like a series of stamps. Location: 22 kilometers from the city of Mile, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province Transportation: Take bus number 1 from Mile High-Speed Train Station and walk about 800m to arrive, approximately 20 minutes. Opening Hours: 8:00-18:00 Tickets: 1. Scenic area admission adult ticket 60 yuan 2. Separate round-trip shuttle ticket 20 yuan (The shuttle departs from the Comprehensive Service Area and returns from the Agricultural Reclamation Parking Lot) 3. Ticket plus round-trip shuttle ticket 80 yuan Little tips 1. Definitely avoid the pink sand beach inside the scenic area, it's a rip-off and not worth the photo! 2. Please prepare a small medicine pack (e.g., montmorillonite, intestinal antiseptic, floral water, etc.) 3. The temperature varies greatly between day and night, please remember to bring a light jacket/shawl.

    I stayed in a red brick castle in Yunnan

    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.

    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. #staycation #mile #kunmingtravel #yunnan #urbanexplorer #touristattractions #architecturalphotos Photos

Those who don't like taking photos will indeed feel it's a rip-off, you can choose Taiping Lake Forest Park, which is also more suitable for walking with kids~ ⚠️ The scenic area will limit the number of visitors during holidays, go early to avoid being affected, we arrived at the scenic area around nine in the morning, and we could still drive up from the south; when we left at noon around 12 o'clock, vehicles could only drive up from the north side in a roundabout way~

    Dongfeng Charm is really nice, it's very photogenic, and it's truly a romantic fairy tale born in red bricks. It's a castle built with local red bricks, and right next to it is the Maitreya Winery. Even the buildings are shaped like wine bottles, with the Kaleidoscope Art Museum being the representative work. Recently, the lavender has bloomed, creating a sea of flowers, and there's also a railway track that looks absolutely stunning! The surrounding area is full of grapevines, and there are wine sales along the roadsides. Those interested in wine can go for a tasting. Overall, it's really great! Girls, hurry up and check it out!!

    May Day Maitreya Parent-Child Tour

    5.1 Zhanjiang to Kunming Changshui Airport 2h, stay in Kunming for one night, look for local specialties nearby, I didn't know before that yangyu is actually potato 5.2 In the morning, from Kunming High-speed Train Station to Mile Station 1h, the original plan was to take a taxi to Dongfengyun first, but the taxi driver said it's too crowded now, strongly advised not to go at noon, but regretted it (because if you go in the afternoon, you can only leave the scenic area at night, it's hard to get a taxi when it's dark, and there was a storm that night, places that are hard to get a taxi should be visited during the day and finished before evening). Suggestion: After getting off the high-speed train, go to Dongfengyun for 3-4 hours of play, it's best to book a hotel at Dongfengyun and stay there, take your time to enjoy. It's great for taking photos, and children can have a lot of fun. 5.3 Suggest going from Dongfengyun to Taiping Lake Forest Park, you can also take a mini train or rent a shared bike to tour Taiping Lake. If you're with children, avoid walking if possible!!! The core flower sea and the stone park are also good for taking photos, and there are also slides and water parks to enjoy.

    1h around Kunming | The purple flower sea here is unbelievably beautiful!

    I heard last year that the Dongfeng Charm in Mile is quite distinctive. I just had time to come here for photos and fun a few days ago. The hundred-acre purple flower sea inside is really gorgeous. My friends thought I had arrived in Provence... Sage, Jacaranda, Prunus cerasifera, and Lavender complement each other. Taking photos with the flowers is truly lovely!! There's also the popular kaleidoscope building that really has a sense of design. Of course, I had to check in here. Just standing by its brick-red wall makes for a great photo spot. ⚠️Travel method: Take the high-speed train for 1h and then a taxi for about 15min to get there. It's about a 2h drive if you're self-driving.

    Mile's eastern breeze carries the essence, another elevation of the Chinese red brick art

    Actually, this isn't the first time we've seen such red brick art architecture in China. The Red Brick Art Museum in Beijing's Chaoyang district also has its unique charm. Although both are red brick buildings, they each have their own distinct worlds. In terms of architectural art and tourism resources, they have both successfully achieved the aesthetic value for tourists. As for the original intention behind artist Luo Xu's creation and the specific tourism content, I will not elaborate here. Everyone is welcome to visit and experience it for themselves.

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.

    Yunnan Mile Dongfeng Rhyme | The red brick architecture is super good-looking

    The red brick architecture is super good-looking. Here is Mile's iconic building—the Kaleidoscope Art Museum, which is entirely built with red bricks🧱, without using a single steel bar. From a distance, it looks like a mysterious oriental castle. Wearing a skirt or ethnic clothing for photos is incredibly photogenic, 💫 and the distribution of natural light sources throughout the building is even. Light, in the midst of half a cloud, is an especially important presence. The designer guides the light and shadows, playing with them, as natural light is cleverly introduced into the building, giving one the sense of wandering amidst the natural light and shadows of the sky. 🚉Transportation Strategy: Kunming Station—Mile Station 37min After exiting the station, a ten-minute taxi ride will get you there. 🎫Ticket: 60 yuan/person, sightseeing car plus ticket is 75 yuan/person Suggestion 1⃣: If you're on a budget, it's enough to take photos here for one day, no need to stay in the hotel inside Suggestion 2⃣: If it's not the hottest time from June to August, it's suggested not to take the electric cart, because you can take photos all the way, and it's literally a view at every step, no need to squeeze into the crowded check-in spots, you can take photos anywhere Suggestion 3⃣: It's recommended to visit in June or July, there is a large field of lavender here, where you can enjoy taking lots of photos. 📝Note tips: Be mindful of sun protection, as walking can be quite exhausting. Avoid lightning in the scenic area: electric cars, 25 yuan per hour, extra charges for overtime, and the riding range is very small (currently guessed to be only used for visiting the peninsula across the lake, and the peninsula is not fully developed) During the tour, please respect the local ethnic customs, such as the Hani's 'hanging cow head' tradition, the Yi's marriage customs, etc. At the same time, pay attention to protecting the environment and the ecology.

    Winter self-driving tour of Southeast Yunnan, two-day and one-night trip experience in Mile

    Depart from Kunming in the morning and drive to Mile. The whole journey is about 150 kilometers, which takes about 2 hours. Arrive at Mile at noon and go directly to the first stop, Dongfeng Yun Scenic Area~. Dongfeng Yun Scenic Area ticket: 60 yuan + round trip sightseeing car ticket 20 yuan, sightseeing car is optional, it's not big inside, it's not too far to walk into the kaleidoscope, but Yi Lan sincerely advises you to spend this 20 yuan, wait until you have finished visiting and taking pictures, you will know how important the return sightseeing car is, it's a bit difficult for me to walk out again~ The sightseeing car first stops at the colorful garden viewing platform. The flowers in winter have not been planted yet. If you walk down a little bit along the garden, you will reach the seal archway. This area is mainly a commercial area. You can have lunch here, and you can get full with an average of 20 or 30 yuan. Then continue to walk up to the kaleidoscope, passing by the star theater, in fact, this theater is usually empty, and it's also very beautiful for taking pictures. The key point of the scenic area is the kaleidoscope, which is very exotic for taking pictures. It's best to miss noon, it's too sunny, and the photos are better when the light is softer in the afternoon. Leave Dongfeng Yun, navigate to Huquan Ecological Park, and pass by Huquan Half Mountain Hot Spring on the way. If you like hot springs, it is recommended to book the Huquan Hotel here directly. The scale of the hot spring is indeed quite large and it looks very comfortable. The lake in Huquan Ecological Park is sparkling, and the shadows of the trees are whirling, giving a bit of a Hainan feel. Indeed, here you can experience the leisurely slow life of Mile, where children dig sand, adults fish and sunbathe, and time is wasted happily. Finally, while the Buddha City Mall is still open, I went to buy some fruits. The fruits in Mile are much cheaper than in Beijing, realizing fruit freedom~ In the evening, I went to Wenchang Street first. The newly built commercial street is full of lights and wine, mainly operating hot pot and barbecue, a bit deserted. Then I went to Jinxiu Flower Street. There are many local snacks that are dazzling and many locals are eating. I feel that there is more fireworks in the small town here. Yi Lan likes it more, and dinner is here for snacks. The next morning, I got up and went to Jinping Mountain to see the Mile Buddha. The ticket is 30 yuan, and the one-way sightseeing car ticket is 10 yuan. If you climb up, there are 1999 steps. Anyway, I must take a car up. Walk down the steps when you go down the mountain, and you can take pictures while walking. Keyi Town is in the same direction as Jinping Mountain, and it is very convenient to drive there. If you arrange the itinerary, these two places can be arranged in one day. Cars can only be parked at the ticket office below, and the 40 yuan ticket includes several entertainment projects. If you don't want to play and only go to the ancient village and watch Axie jump to the moon, you don't need to buy a ticket. The round-trip sightseeing car ticket from the ticket office to the village entrance can be purchased separately for 20 yuan. If you walk on the plank road, there is more than 2 kilometers from the ticket office to the village. But in fact, taking a sightseeing car is not as good as taking a bus. There are many buses from the ticket office to and from the village entrance, which are more frequent than sightseeing cars. We finally waited for the bus to come out without a sightseeing car, 2 yuan per person. Keyi Town is not big, it takes about an hour to go around, the yellow houses are very beautiful for taking pictures, it is very quiet and there are not many tourists, if you are not interested in ancient villages, you can not choose here. Before leaving, I went to the city to eat Ma's braised chicken rice noodles, which is good and worth a try. After eating, I ended the trip to Mile and set off for the next stop, Mengzi.
