Maitreya! I didn’t want to check out of the hotel after visiting the private hot spring for the second time.
Maitreya! After leaving the hotel for the second time in a private hot spring, I didn’t want to check out.
Maitreya at Red River! A very cost-effective private hot spring resort hotel, less than 200 yuan per person, with online aesthetics, good environmental sanitation, style, and delicious food. The room is very large, the style and color are so good for me, dry and wet separation, refrigerator and other basics The facilities are complete, and the balcony is very comfortable to enjoy the wind and sun. You can also take a private hot spring bath on the balcony.
The hotel has public hot spring pools (you need to tell the front desk 20 minutes in advance to let the water go out), and there are also private hot spring pools. The hot spring water is released and you can soak in the room.
The observation deck on the sixth floor is so beautiful! Afternoon tea is so pleasant
Opposite the hotel is the Huquan Ecological Park with a public beach.
The breakfast at the hotel is delicious, rich and nutritious, including salmon sashimi
It is convenient to go out to eat. Not far from the hotel, turn right and there is a good traditional snack restaurant called Lao Maitreya. The braised chicken dipping sauce is very good, fragrant but not spicy, delicious and not expensive!
The hotel is located in the northeast corner of Huquan. You can enter the Yuehu area within ten steps. The scenery is super beautiful!

A park that takes up half the city—Mile Lake Spring Ecological Park.
Located in the southern part of Mile City, Yunnan Province, the park covers an area of over 3,000 mu, with a lake area of over 1,700 mu, making it the largest in Mile. It is known as "a park that takes up half the city" and is a national 4A-level tourist attraction. The park features waterfalls, clear water, and white sand, incorporating elements such as natural hot springs and cold water lakes. The overall design is innovative and grand.
"The mountain light delights the birds, and the pool reflection empties the human heart." Walking slowly along the lakeside beach, you can experience the gentle breeze; lying quietly in the misty forest hot spring, you can let the spring water wash away the restlessness and fatigue... In the Lake Spring Ecological Park, you can find the long-lost natural innocence.
Surrounded by mountains, clear water, and green trees, every step is a scene, both illusory and real. You can not only appreciate the infinite scenery of nature but also experience the wonderful feeling of walking on the beach at sunset. On the soft sand, you can create an imaginary world with fine sand, adding a touch of childlike fun to life; under the blue sky and white clouds, you can take a yacht to tour the lake and enjoy the feeling of relaxation and freedom.
Here, flowers, trees, mountains, islands, small bridges, and flowing water complement each other. More than 200 species of plants and various water birds live here, including national key protected plants such as Taxus and Cyathea, as well as various birds such as egrets and black swans, forming a natural scene of "the sunset and the lone duck fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky."
On the vast land of Mile, the Lake Spring Ecological Park is connected to the city, nourishing this land with half of the city's water, and the green spreads with vitality. Every mountain and water, every movement and stillness, exudes a natural healing beauty.

|The sunset at Mile's Huquan Ecological Park is so beautiful it makes you want to cry~.
For those who are mentally exhausted or tense, an ideal vacation would be: find a lawn, lie down and relax, watch the sunset, listen to the birds, smell the flowers, and return to nature without being disturbed.
And all of this can be realized at Mile's Huquan Ecological Park.
Walking along the east side of the lake, I found a lawn and sat down casually, looking at the scenery in front of me: in front of me were tall palm trees, below was a whole patch of lush green lawn. The setting sun shone on the trees, casting straight shadows of the palm trees, long and slanted; the lawn, under the sunlight, mixed with the earthy scent, exuded a strong sense of vitality; the sunlight reflected on the lake surface, creating sparkling ripples; people were walking their dogs, cycling, strolling, and fishing enthusiasts were casting their rods by the lake; and I was just lying on this green lawn, looking at the picturesque scenery in front of me, listening to the birds, and relaxing.
That moment belonged to me. I remembered the words of the photographer in 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty': 'Sometimes I don't. If I like a moment... I mean, me, personally... I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. Just want to stay in it.'
Translated, it means: 'Sometimes I don't take pictures. If I really like a moment, I mean, personally... I don't like the camera to distract me. I just want to stay in that moment.'
So I didn't choose the camera, but took out my phone and hurriedly took a set of live photos to record the moment.
Shooting location: Huquan Ecological Park, Mile City, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province
Shooting time: 18:38 (Yunnan's sunset is 2 hours later than Beijing)

Lake Spring Hotel - Mid-Mountain Hot Spring
❣️Address: Lake Spring Hotel - Mid-Mountain Hot Spring, inside Lake Spring Ecological Park, Wenquan Road, Mile City, Yunnan Province
❣️Staying at the Lake Spring Hotel allows you to enjoy the hot springs for free. When you check in, the lovely lady at the front desk🤵🏻♀️ will record your fingerprint, and you can directly access the hot spring by fingerprint recognition at the entrance. So convenient!!!
❣️The hotel is divided into A, B, C, and E blocks. Block B is under maintenance🧑🔧 and not available for stay; we stayed in a room in Block A, which has a very nice environment, but Block E is closer to the hot springs.
I think the first floor has a great environment; the balcony on the first floor surrounds a pond with lots of koi🐟 and black swans🦢. The hotel has an overall retro and rustic wooden style, making it feel very comfortable and peaceful.
❣️There are staff members who drive sightseeing cars every day to take you to the hot springs! It's very convenient, and the hot springs have unique small pools with red wine🍷, milk, and roses🌹
❣️Right opposite the hotel is Mile's largest man-made lake, with particularly beautiful scenery
❣️Convenient transportation and easy parking🚗

This is just too beautiful, Mile Lake Quan Ecological Park!
Address: Mile Lake Quan Ecological Park
Ticket🎫: Free
❤Recommended reason: The ecological park is very large, with blue sky, clear water, many trees, white clouds and sandy beaches, giving it a bit of a Sanya feel.
It is highly recommended to come in the afternoon, just as the sun sets, strolling on the beach with the sunlight shining, it's simply too beautiful. Walk and stop, play with the sand and water, and when tired, just sit by the lake and enjoy the breeze.
📝Note tips: If you go early, pay attention to sun protection
There's also food nearby!

Yunnan tourism is not just about Dali and Lijiang, but also about experiencing the tropical charm of Mile
Recommended is a great check-in spot in Mile—Lake Quan Ecological Park. This ecological park is a unique leisure and entertainment venue, and also a nice resort in Honghe Prefecture. By the rippling water and on the soft sand beach, you feel as if you are in the tropics, experiencing the charm of the sea breeze and coconut trees🏝, and children can have a blast. It's a paradise for those who love to take photos and check in, with countless couples taking wedding photos every day.
👉You can also take a yacht tour on the lake, enjoying the relaxed and unconstrained feeling.
👀🔮👉👪You can also rent a sightseeing bicycle and leisurely appreciate the scenery inside. In Lake Quan Ecological Park, you can not only enjoy the endless natural scenery but also experience the romantic feeling of walking on the beach at sunset, which is unforgettable.
At night, you can go for a soak in the mid-mountain hot spring, counting the stars⭐... Don't miss it.
🚄In terms of transportation, there are several high-speed trains from Kunming to Mile every day, making the travel very convenient.

Mile doesn't need money, but it's a niche tourist city
This holiday paradise
Is niche and free (Lake Quan Park does not charge admission) The green grass and the evening sunset
There are many children playing with sand and catching fish by the shore, and occasionally you can see dogs swimming and walking by the lake. It's really beautiful
Palm trees, coconut trees are very big around the lake in the park
Sit by the side and enjoy the breeze

I've been to Yunnan many times, and I've permanently collected this small town that hasn't been commercialized!
🚶 Honghe travel recommendation
For the first time to Honghe, I suggest going to these three essence places: Mile, Mengzi and Jianshui.
1️⃣ Mile
I like Mile too much, it has the laziness of Southeast Asia🌴, and its own style. Dongfeng Yun kaleidoscope makes every visitor unforgettable, Taiping Lake Park has beautiful scenery that you can stroll around all day without getting tired, and if you're tired, go to Huquan Ecological Park to soak in the hot springs, you will know how leisurely and comfortable the locals live.
🟡 Recommended attractions: Dongfeng Yun Scenic Area, Taiping Lake Park, Dianxi Wetland Park
🥘 Recommended food: Hongfu Soy Milk Chicken Hot Pot, Old Baizhi Braised Chicken Shop, Traditional Mile Cuisine
2️⃣ Mengzi
Mengzi City is the capital of Honghe Prefecture and the birthplace of Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles. During the Republic of China, the Southwest United University left a deep impression here📖, there is the Bisezhai train station that has filmed 'Fanghua', and the old site of the Southwest United University. Must-eat food is Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles, and pomegranates are also highly recommended.
🟡 Must-visit attractions: Bisezhai🚂, Old Site of Southwest United University Mengzi Branch
🥘 Recommended food: Fire House Rice Noodles, Shiping Drunken Shrimp Barbecue, Yang's Mother's Dipping Water Rice Noodles
3️⃣ Jianshui
Jianshui is both ancient and modern, you can go to Jianshui Ancient City to eat grilled tofu and chicken feet, and take a look at the Ming and Qing architecture. The Jianshui small train near the ancient city will take you to the Republic of China, the meter track🛣️ is very impressive. The super-realistic art architecture of the Ant Workshop is amazing, I keep exclaiming, Jianshui is so good to visit.
🟡 Recommended attractions: Jianshui Ancient City, Jianshui Small Train, Ant Workshop
