This small Yunnan city brimming with Southeast Asian vibes is perfect for escaping the summer heat

Mile, a charming small city in Yunnan, offers more relaxation than Kunming and more tranquility than Dali. With its cool climate, distinctive local cuisine, and tropical fruits, it exudes a strong Southeast Asian atmosphere, making it an ideal summer retreat. If there's no direct high-speed train, first go to Kunming, then take a 35-minute high-speed train from Kunming South Station to Mile Station. 🌈Suggested 2-Day Mile Itinerary Day 1: Dongfengyun Scenic Area → Huquan Ecological Park → Hot Spring Soak → Jinxiu Flower Street Night Market Day 2: Focheng Shangdu Market → Honghe Water Town → Return or head to next destination 🌈About Mile's Attractions - Dongfengyun Scenic Area (¥80/person) Features castle-like structures built with red bricks and kaleidoscopic architecture shaped like wine bottles and pottery jars - every corner is photogenic. The area also has vast lavender fields (blooming April-October). - Jinxiu Flower Street Night Market (Free) Offers abundant local snacks: barbecue, spicy chicken feet, molten tofu, bamboo tube rice... Delicious and reasonably priced. - Huquan Ecological Park (Free) A natural oxygen bar with over 200 plant species and waterfowl habitats.
