A Complete Guide to Kunming's Off-the-Beaten-Path Experiences

Must-try hidden gems in Kunming‼️ Avoid the crowds and unlock the perfect combination of red brick wine bottle architecture and French romantic filters～

🏨 The Anshe·Kaimili Hotel truly amazed me! Located at No. 86 Dongfeng East Road, this French minimalist-style hotel feels like a European town hidden inside a cultural and creative park. The smart home system plus washing machine setup is so thoughtful. My favorite spot is their large floor-to-ceiling window facing the creative park—every snap looks like an Instagram-worthy shot. I recommend booking a room with a bathtub; the hotel thoughtfully provides flower petal bath bombs💐

🚗 A 1.5-hour taxi ride from the hotel takes you to the Dongfeng Yun Scenic Area in Mile. This red brick wine bottle building complex is incredibly stylish! I suggest entering the park around 3 or 4 PM when the lighting is perfect for photos. There’s also a vast lavender field inside the park—wear light-colored clothes for the best shots～

✨ Insider Tips:
1️⃣ Don’t miss the Yunnan rice noodles for breakfast at the hotel; their late-night porridge is also top-notch.
2️⃣ Buy afternoon tickets for Dongfeng Yun to avoid tour groups and capture the buildings in the glow of the sunset.
3️⃣ Mile hot springs are famous—if you have time, plan a half-day hot spring experience.

Who says Yunnan is only about Lijiang and Dali? Come to Kunming + Mile to experience a different artistic vibe～
