    Bisezhai is a scenic area that "speaks through history." It doesn't rely on scenery, but rather on its rusty rails, faded French-style buildings, and silent platforms to tell the story of the early 20th century's glory and sorrow. If you have a strong interest in modern history, railway culture, or humanistic photography, this is a worthwhile visit. The French-style yellow-walled, red-tiled station buildings, old-fashioned steam locomotives, and retro station signs create a wonderful atmosphere for photos. It was also a filming location for the movie "Youth." 💐Because it required traversing many high mountains, the terrain was complex, the environment harsh, and the gradients steep, making its construction incredibly difficult. The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway uses a 1-meter gauge (the standard gauge is 1.435 meters), hence the name "meter-gauge railway." The narrow gauge is better suited for building on complex mountainous terrain with sharp curves and steep slopes, which is one of the highlights. 🌺 Bisezhai is the core station of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway built during the French colonial period. This railway, Yunnan's first international railway, connects Kunming, China, with Haiphong, Vietnam, and was once a vital passage for Southwest China to the world. 🌼In the early 20th century, Bisezhai became a trading hub, attracting French, Vietnamese, and local merchants, creating a unique multicultural atmosphere. It once housed customs houses, post offices, bars, and hotels. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway became a lifeline for transporting supplies, and Bisezhai served as a transit point, undertaking the task of transshipping international aid to China. 💐However, France used the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to transport Yunnan's valuable resources on a large scale, especially the tin mines of Gejiu. It was both an engineering marvel and a tool of colonialism. It brought openness but also plunder. The shame must not be forgotten.

    The environment is quiet, the air is fresh, and it's a natural oxygen bar. The cave is very spectacular and spacious, with rugged rocks. It's worth a visit! There are also freehand rock climbing performances, which are exciting and worth a visit!

    When you arrive in Mile, you absolutely must visit Yunnan Red Winery to learn about its origins, see how it's produced and stored, and, of course, taste some fine wine. I was surprised by how large the winery is, and how crowded it is. Entering the cellar, the aroma of oak permeated my nostrils. Each cellar contained a different variety and vintage of red wine. I ended up having a glass of sweet red wine, which was quite good.

    Taiping Lake Forest Town is absolutely stunning, like stepping into a fairytale. My favorite spots are "In the Clouds," "Zixia Lake," and Monet's Garden—every photo is a true masterpiece. Taiping Lake was a truly worthwhile trip to Mile! You can rent electric carts within the scenic area, which is incredibly convenient! The restrooms are also incredibly clean, and the brown sugar ginger tea is incredibly thoughtful and warm!

    Dongfengyun Scenic Area is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction located on the outskirts of Mile City, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Starting as Dongfeng Farm in 2014, it has gradually developed into a distinctive town integrating grape culture, natural scenery, and cultural tourism. The Kaleidoscope Art Museum, a popular spot for online influencers, was designed by Mile-born artist Luo Xu. The architecture blends wine culture and Yi ethnic fire culture, presented as a red brick castle shaped like wine bottles and flames, constructed without a single steel bar or nail, earning it the reputation of a "magical castle of futuristic magic." • Half a Cloud: Continuing the architectural style of the Kaleidoscope Art Museum, it resembles "half a cloud on the horizon," with layers of exterior walls resembling continuous clouds. The interior features a Zen-inspired tea and rest space, a popular spot for tourists to relax and take photos. • The Lavender Theme Park is known as the "Provence of Central Yunnan." • Niu Duoluo Music Farm • State Farm Exhibition Hall: A red-brick industrial-style building displaying farm tools and archives of educated youth from the reclamation period. • Admission: Adult ticket 60 yuan/person, students enjoy half price, sightseeing bus within the scenic area 20 yuan/person. Expensive! • Transportation: After arriving at "Mile Station", it's about a 10-minute taxi ride to the scenic area; from Kunming by car, it's about a 1.5-hour drive. Convenient!

    The spa is spacious, with the outdoor hot springs shaded by trees and filled with squirrels. I loved the fish spa pool, where tiny fish kept chasing after food at my feet. The spa is located across the garden, with a large pool on the first floor. There's a lounge on the second floor, and a buffet on the third (for an additional fee).

    The scenery along the way wasn't great, especially on the road from the first stop, which was mostly residential buildings and a bit distracting. It improved a lot later on, and each stop was worth seeing. Overall, the photos turned out better than the experience itself.

    Qinghe Homestay deserves high praise! Located in the ancient city, the location is unbeatable. The fourth-floor room has amazing natural light; you can watch the sunrise in the morning, and the sunlight streaming in is incredibly soothing. The mattress is also very comfortable and relaxing. The room is impeccably clean; the sheets and blankets are spotless, and the whole place is tidy and organized. A comfortable and pleasant stay—choosing this place when visiting the ancient city is definitely the right decision!

    木棉的豪迈木棉的豪迈

    This is a place worth visiting for the whole family. It boasts a rich history, ancient legends, a small train from the Republican era, unique geography, and a vibrant display of karst caves illuminated by lights. It's also highly recommended for families and photography enthusiasts. Besides the scenery, there are also local delicacies: Jianshui's braised tofu is incredibly delicious, and the aroma of it roasting over a fire will have you salivating! In Yunnan, swallows are revered as birds of good fortune and happiness. Every household in Yunnan reserves nesting areas for them under the eaves. Every winter, the swallows return to build their nests, and they are very selective about where they nest, bringing joy to any household they visit! In spring, the chirping of baby swallows heralds the arrival of spring, a new year, and new life... The arrival of the swallows brings happiness, peace, and vitality...
