Maitreya Wandering｜Eastern Wind Charm

The exotic red brick castle in Mile is very design-conscious. It is said that there was no draft when the buildings in the scenic area were designed at the beginning, but they were designed according to the heart. Such a seemingly disorganized building was created by Luo Xu, a "strange man" born in Mile. He mixed three local cultures into it. The wine bottle-shaped building represents the red wine culture of Maitreya, and the fire culture and symbiotic and progressive culture of the Yi people. Together, they created this oriental magical city, which is definitely worth a visit.

✅Must experience recommendation:
Yunnan Red Winery
It is a world-renowned grape-growing area and one of the origins of red wine. Sisters who love red wine can come here to stroll around and feel the rich aroma of red wine.
Taihu Forest Park
This is the lost cactus kingdom. If you want to experience the sea of flowers, beaches and lakes in Morocco, come here. When the flowers bloom, the romantic sea of flowers in the clouds is really beautiful!
Youhuquan Mid-mountain Hot Spring
"Climb Jinping Mountain during the day and soak in the hot springs halfway up the mountain at night." The hot springs in Mile are very famous. There are 26 hot spring pools distributed in the forest halfway up the mountain. Sisters must experience it
Kaleidoscope Art Museum
The red brick wine bottle flame-shaped building combines the red wine culture of Mile and the fire culture of the Axi people, a branch of the Yi ethnic group. It has a strong visual impact. When you enter the art gallery, you will see the pottery figurines of the "Thousand-person Chorus", with thousands of people and thousands of faces, showing the various forms of life.
Half Cloud Artists’ Living Room
The construction style of Half Cloud is basically the same as that of Kaleidoscope Art Museum, with a strange shape, but here it is like "half cloud on the horizon"
Colorful flower fields, also known as lavender manor
This place is known as the "Provence" of central Yunnan, but there is actually no lavender, hahahaha. It is full of large areas of verbena, which blooms from April to October. There is also a railway in the sea of flowers, which is engraved with "I love you" from different countries.
Seal Shop
At the end of the flower field is the Seal House. It is not as round as the kaleidoscope and the reception room, but has an angular cylindrical shape, arranged like seals.
