📍Hidden by the lakeside springs, encounter a secret peach blossom land  
Mile, a small city in southern Yunnan embraced by the Red River Gorge and vineyards, hides a dreamy vacation paradise—the Haofeng Wyndham Hot Spring Hotel. The hotel is located in the heart of the Lake Spring Water Town Resort Area, nestled by the mountains and water. Open the window to see the rippling waves of the Lake Spring Ecological Park. A 15-minute drive takes you directly to the Dongfeng Yun Scenic Area’s Red Brick Art Castle, and within 30 minutes you can reach secret spots like Jinping Mountain, Mile Giant Buddha, and Keyi Town. Whether you stroll by the lake in the morning or gaze at the city lights at dusk, this place instantly switches you into “vacation mode.”  
✨ Must-visit highlights:  
- 7th-floor infinity pool: Suspended above the Lake Spring, the sunset dyes the sky red in the evening, and every snap is a perfect social media shot.  
- Sky wine and coffee bar: When night falls, order a glass of locally produced rose honey red wine, overlook the city nightscape, and feel the peacefulness in a gentle buzz.  
- Yunlan Hot Spring Suite: Private hot spring pool facing the lake, 270° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows make soaking a visual feast, ideal for couples or family trips.  
♨️ Hot spring healing: Private and public pools, unlock multiple soaking styles  
As one of the rare “true hot spring hotels” in Mile, Haofeng Wyndham’s hot spring water comes from the Meihua Hot Spring 2,000 meters underground, rich in metasilicic acid, lithium, strontium, and other minerals, which are excellent for relieving muscle fatigue and improving sleep.  
🛁 Private hot spring experience:  
- Yinyun Hot Spring King Room: Independent soaking pool embedded in the balcony, soak anytime 24/7, sprinkle lavender bath salts provided in the room, and the misty steam feels like being in a Provence flower field.  
- Yunlan Hot Spring Suite: Two-bedroom connected design, private pool accommodates 4 people, perfect for a girls’ gathering or family fun. At night, watch movies with the projector—hot spring + movie = double healing.  
🌿 Public hot springs:  
The 7th-floor public hot spring area has 4 pools. Soaking at sunset, watch the sun gild the lake surface, and fatigue instantly melts away.  
🔥 Must-try dishes:  
- Mile Braised Chicken Rice Noodles: Made with local native chicken broth, paired with secret recipe braised chicken and handmade rice noodles, a bite takes you back to childhood streets.  
- Late-night comforting porridge: Enjoy free goodnight porridge upon check-in, choose between red date longan porridge or millet pumpkin porridge, warming both stomach and heart.
