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.
