Maitreya Buddha sits atop Jinping Mountain, north of Mile City. The Buddha is 19.99 m tall and cast entirely in imported titanium gold. The statue depicts the Budai monk, with a bare belly and a wide, smiling mouth. The pedestal is inlaid with white lotus petals and ruyi jewels. There are 1,999 stone steps from the mountain gate to the Buddha platform. The number of steps, the height of the Buddha, and the year of completion all point to the number 1999.

Kaleidoscope Art Manor

4.2/5

Kaleidoscope Art Manor was designed by artist Luo Xu. The entire building is constructed with red bricks stacked in interlocking circles. From a distance, it looks like a cluster of cylindrical towers growing out of the red earth, though some also see it as upright wine bottles or clusters of burning flames, echoing the local red wine culture and the fire culture of the Axi Yi people. Inside, the design combines Western-style domes with the form of traditional Chinese tile kilns, with skylights and windows on the walls arranged based on the light and shadow principles of a kaleidoscope. As the sun's angle changes throughout the day, spots of light and shadows shift across the walls and floor, creating different light and shadow effects depending on whether you visit in the morning or afternoon. The main hall displays Luo Xu's pottery sculpture work, "The Thousand-Person Choir," featuring hundreds of hand-molded coarse pottery figures lined up neatly, each with different expressions and postures, resembling a choir singing at the top of their lungs.Mile · 11.5km from downtown

It's nice for taking photos and checking in, but not so much for leisurely sightseeing. A few of the exhibition halls were quite nice. What I don't understand is that the shuttle bus is still a gasoline-powered vehicle, and there was a really unpleasant smell in the back.

It's a worthwhile scenic spot to visit. Climbing the stairs up might be a bit tiring, so we took an electric cart. There was a guide on the cart explaining how to pay homage to Buddha, which was quite nice. The scenery on the mountain is also beautiful, and the air is very fresh. If you come a little later in the day, it won't be so sunny, making it quite suitable for hiking. The weather in Mile is really changeable; it was sunny when we went up, but cloudy when we came down. Shortly after we got on the cart, a strong wind and heavy rain started, so we were quite lucky.

It's a large scenic area with a beautiful natural environment, perfect for taking photos. There's also an exhibition hall in the desert botanical garden that introduces the development history of Taiping Lake Scenic Area. You can learn about the arduous and extraordinary efforts the original developers made to transform a barren, desertified land into the beautiful, flower-filled park it is today. This introduction is definitely worth seeing.

From the entrance to the village, after exploring the village, we took a bus to Tiger Roaring Forest, then another bus to the exit, and finally visited Mizhi Wonderland. Since we weren't going back the way we came, we descended the mountain from another exit, and eventually took the sightseeing bus back to the exit. Although each section of the road wasn't long, there wasn't much scenery along the way, and it added up to several kilometers, but it was still worth it!

弥勒,最出名的就是温泉,走在大街上,到处是温泉酒店。 傍晚,走出酒店去湖泉生态园逛一逛。湖泉生态园是一个免费开放的景区,园中花草树木、山石岛屿、小桥流水相辅相成,形成了优美的自然意境。 夕阳西下,在这里漫步,让人感觉轻松和惬意。

The scenery of Honghe Water Village is pleasant. You can travel and play around the lake of Honghe River, or visit the buildings like those in Jiangnan Water Village, and feel a different and wonderful feeling. It is suitable for a free and easy travel after dinner, and it is full of literary and artistic atmosphere. In addition, there are hotels and food in Honghe Water Village, which are also very good.
