The attraction is worth visiting, and the price is good value for money. However, it says that it includes three treasures, but the three treasures are 9 kilometers away from the ancient city. It seems like they are just adding a service to make it look better, but they are not sincere. It would be better not to include the three treasures. If they do include them, they should consider partners who are closer to the ancient city. Otherwise, there is really no need to include this service.

The Danxia landform is truly stunning, with mountains and water, perfect for taking photos. Its beauty can't be captured by a mobile phone. The scenic area is vast; to walk the entire loop without backtracking, it takes about three hours.

The Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a large scenic area. We bought tickets for the sightseeing bus in the western section and listened to a guide's explanations along the way. It's suitable for bringing children. There are a few scenic spots. However, it's not very cost-effective.

The environment was great, the scenery was beautiful, and the service was excellent. The food was also good, but there were two types of meals: a regular meal and a VIP meal, with an additional charge of 88 yuan for the difference. Normally, that's the price. I sincerely suggest finding someone inside who can find shortcuts and probably save you money. I only found out about this after I paid, so I didn't get any real savings.

A must-see in Kunming is Xishan (Western Hill), and taking the Dianchi Lake Cableway is essential. After descending Xishan, go to the Longmen ticket office to buy a one-way ticket for 60 yuan (round trip 100 yuan; it's recommended to go from Xishan to Haigeng Park, taking a one-way trip). The cable car ride soars over Dianchi Lake, reaching the must-see Haigeng Park in 15 minutes. The scenery along the way is breathtaking. The cable car is actually divided into two sections: one descends from the mountain, offering a higher vantage point for viewing Dianchi Lake, and the other is on flat ground, from the foot of the mountain to Haigeng Park. The route even crosses the water of Dianchi Lake, making it a very unique and rare lakeside cable car in China.

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 cable car 🚡 ride was absolutely beautiful, with all the greenery and mist rising. But, it’s 40 minutes one way. You can walk back, which is pretty and easy enough. Feeding the elephants was fun for the kids, but lasts seconds and everyone was shoving my kids to get to the front. The rest was kind of just meh. Elephants performing. I just hope they’re being treated ok. It was very crowded, despite being off season. My daughter really loved seeing the elephants up close, but it just could have offered more education and interest.

The scenery was beautiful, with the lush greenery at the foot of the mountain contrasting sharply with the snow-capped peaks. The only downside was that it was snowing, making the boardwalk very slippery, and many people fell. The service was not as good as that at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

This was a stop on the way back from Haigeng Park to see the seagulls. The park is very large, encompassing the folk customs of all the ethnic minorities in Yunnan. The prices are not very affordable, and overall, it's not comparable to other attractions.
