For the May Day trip, we chose the less-known Yunnan attraction·Mile Beijing✈️Kunming, 🚄Kunming South to Mile Station 30min Dongfeng Yun is close to the high-speed rail station, just over ten minutes by taxi To avoid the peak, we didn't go directly to the scenic area We stayed at Taiping Lake scenic area on the first night, and set off for Dongfeng Yun early the next morning We arrived at the scenic area at about 9 am, when there were not many people 🎫It is recommended to buy tickets that include a sightseeing car, enter the park and go directly to the Kaleidoscope to take photos, and then go to the lavender sea to take pictures~ 📷My personal favorite photo spots: pictures 1, 4, 5, 1 and 4 are on the second floor, you don't have to go down, you can perfectly avoid the crowd 🌸Photo enthusiasts will definitely not regret coming here, in addition to the kaleidoscope, there is also a large lavender sea, which is also super photogenic❗️The scenic area is not big, and the playability is average. 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~

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.

Mile is really too beautiful! For those who don't want to crowd and want to experience the beauty of Yunnan, Mile is a very suitable choice. The transportation is very convenient, it only takes 1 hour from Kunming city to Mile South Station, and it only takes 33 minutes by high-speed rail. And it only costs 10 yuan to take a taxi from the South Station, and you can reach the scenic area in 10 minutes! In the park, there are sightseeing cars to take, and you will not feel tired at all. Since there is only one station in the scenic area, the sightseeing car will stop at each attraction, so you can pay attention to where is the best place to take pictures! When you come back, you can walk back slowly, and you can take pictures along the way. The entire scenic area is very suitable for strolling, and you can visit more places if you come early. However, the scenery at sunset is also very beautiful, the sunlight shines on the wall, and the color is more intense. Around 5 to 6 o'clock, the number of tourists gradually decreases, and you don't need to avoid the crowd when taking pictures. When you leave, there are many beautiful corners waiting for you to discover! Sometimes you will accidentally find that the place next to the sink is very beautiful, and the sunset and trees form a beautiful visual space.
