Mile City Dongfeng Yun Art Scenic Area

This red brick art kingdom in Mile is absolutely amazing! Dongfeng Yun Scenic Area is definitely a hidden gem for niche travel destinations in Yunnan. Every photo you take looks like a masterpiece. I spent the whole day here and didn’t want to leave 🤩 🌟 Highlights: 1️⃣ Kaleidoscope Art Museum: A uniquely shaped red brick architectural complex with staggered geometric forms that are super stunning. It’s best to shoot the light and shadow effects between 4-6 PM. 2️⃣ Lavender Flower Sea: The blooming period from June to August is incredibly beautiful. Wearing a white dress for photos is perfect. 3️⃣ Stamp Room: A vintage and artistic check-in spot where you can buy postcards at the cultural shop and stamp them as souvenirs. 4️⃣ Scenic Area Mini Train: 20 RMB per person, saves time and effort while enjoying the scenery along the way. 📍 Practical Information: Address: Dongfeng Yun Town, Putao Avenue, Mile City, Honghe Prefecture Ticket Price: 60 RMB (including sightseeing bus) Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM Transportation: It takes only 34 minutes by high-speed train from Kunming South Station to Mile Station, and about 15 minutes by taxi to the scenic area. 📸 Photo Tips: ✅ It’s recommended to wear solid color clothes (white/black/red all look great in photos) ✅ Be sure to bring a wide-angle lens to capture the full view of the architecture ✅ The light is softest after 4 PM 🍴 Food Recommendations: The "Dongfeng Yun Canteen" inside the scenic area offers good value.
