January. Passing through Mile, Yunnan
Self-driving from Kunming, heading south to the first stop, Mile. Only one day, basically traveling according to the strategy. The local hot spring is famous, and I stayed in a hot spring hotel in the city at night. Departed the next morning, first went to the Buddha City Mall to see the legendary vegetable market, it was really lively, the fourth floor should be the place where locals buy daily, everything is available, went in and bought some fruit by the way.
The first stop was Taiping Lake Park, about half an hour's drive from Mile New District, a large park with a decent size, and the desertification plants are the most outstanding place, but you can see the traces of artificial planting. You need a driver's license to rent an electric car inside. Free for seniors over 70 and children on winter vacation. Everyone has different opinions about each place, some tourists think it is particularly good, personally feel that it is not particularly outstanding in the southern park.
In the afternoon, I went to Oriental Charm, also free for 70-year-olds and children on winter vacation. This place is no different from everyone's photos, it feels good, there are many places to see in the park, it is worth buying tickets and spending some time, unfortunately, I have to hurry in the afternoon, too tired to finish in two hours. There are too many people taking photos inside, and it is not easy for landscape lovers to take pictures of buildings with few people.
The above is the planned itinerary before coming, all achieved.
