Not Mile! In Kunming!! Kunming's Hidden Travel Spot

Stop only knowing Mile! I can't stop raving about this hidden art museum in Kunming✨ Who gets it! Last year when I went to Mile Dongfang Yun and Jianshui Ant Workshop, I was totally captivated by Teacher Luo Xu's designs🤩 This time in Kunming, a local friend secretly told me that Teacher Luo Xu's art museum is open to the public! I rushed over and was speechlessly amazed! Everyone! This place is truly amazing!🏛️ The entire museum is built with over 3 million pieces of Yunnan red clay bricks, full of local flavor! The museum is filled with green plants and fresh flowers, ivy climbs up the brick walls, and water lilies quietly bloom in the pond. Every spot is a healing scene perfect for photos! Trust me, follow this visiting order to avoid getting lost👇 1st Hall → 2nd Hall → 3rd Hall → 4th Hall → Have coffee and rest I personally tested this route and it’s super smooth, covering all the highlights! Key points to note! These spots are a must for photos📸 The steps at the 1st and 2nd Halls are absolutely perfect photo spots! When the sunlight shines down, just pose anywhere on them and the vibe is instantly on point—your social feed’s main spot is guaranteed! The 3rd Hall is an art shop where you can DIY ceramics and get stamps. Handmade lovers must not miss it; making a small souvenir is very meaningful~ Take your time in the 4th Hall! It’s full of Teacher Luo Xu’s years of creative works and documents, giving you deep insight into this artist’s imagination. You’ll gain so much after visiting! A reminder for you all!⚠️ The museum closes at 5 PM, so be sure to plan your time well and don’t come empty-handed! Honestly, Mile Dongfang Yun and Jianshui Ant Workshop are popular but more mainstream~ This Luo Xu Art Museum in Kunming carries a strong personal artistic style, with every detail showing unique aesthetics. Visiting here is totally one-of-a-kind! Fewer people, great photo ops, and a quiet atmosphere to feel the art vibe—it’s truly a hidden gem for travel in Kunming!
