Mile Jinpingshan Scenic Area.
Jinpingshan Scenic Area is made up of two independent attractions. There are shuttle buses from Mile City to the scenic area. The bus can pick you up at major intersections in the city, and the fare is CNY 5 for a single trip. The scenic area is 1.5 km away from the intersection, but the scenery along the way is good. The first attraction you will come to is the Wucai Yunchi. Although this attraction is man-made, it uses the natural colors of wetlands, water, and the sky to create a beautiful landscape.

Mile Jipingshan Scenic Area|||
|||. The weather in Mile is really comfortable, hot but not dry, in contrast to Nanning which is dry and not humid. It's cool under the shade of trees, and because it's dry, you don't sweat much when walking. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, with the afternoon being the hottest.
Jipingshan Scenic Area is said to have 1999 steps, with a ticket price of 30, student price of 15, and a shuttle bus back and forth for 20, one-way for 15. In the end, I still walked up.
It's not that hard to climb. If you take the sightseeing car, you can only see the big Buddha, and you can't see the other temples along the way. There are wheat fields planted on the mountainside, the five-star red flag is flying high in front of the temple, and there are drum towers and bell towers. You can see a bell and a drum on the second floor respectively.

Yunnan! A place where you'll regret going up the mountain but be amazed once you're there! Mile, Jinping Mountain
Visit Jinping Mountain in Mile to see the Mile Buddha. It took a very long walk before reaching the entrance of the scenic area, and I thought I had gone the wrong way at one point. To enter the scenic area, you must pass through a row of stalls selling goods to reach the main gate. At first, it really didn't seem worth coming so far.
○ Remember to buy a one-way electric cart ticket along with your admission ticket. After climbing 1,999 steps, your knees and calves might hurt, but going down is relatively easier, and you can enjoy the stunning scenery. In winter, it's recommended to arrive at the main gate of the scenic area before 4 p.m. The sunlight is softer on the mountain, and you can overlook the entire Mile City.
○ When taking photos, I kept exclaiming how incredibly beautiful it was, and in winter, you can still see the scenery of autumn!
W.ll.

Mile Jinping Mountain Scenic Area is a famous Buddhist holy land in southeastern Yunnan. It is home to the world's largest Maitreya sitting Buddha statue, which stands at 19.99 meters tall. Upon entering the temple through the main gate, one must climb 1999 steps to see this constantly smiling Buddha!

1. The shuttle bus costs 15 yuan for a one-way trip, and 20 yuan for a round trip. The ticket seller specifically reminds that if you buy a round trip but only take a one-way trip, there will be no refund.
2. It is recommended to only buy a one-way ticket. Take the bus to the top of the mountain, then walk down to the foot of the mountain. This way, you can see the scenery along the way. If you take the shuttle bus for both trips, you can only see the big Buddha at the top of the mountain and miss the scenery on the way.
3. If you arrive in the morning, you can try the vegetarian meals (business hours 11:00-13:30).
4. Maitreya Temple is located within the Jinscreen Mountain Scenic Area, navigate to Jinscreen Mountain

Jinping Mountain Scenic Area in Mile, Yunnan, features the Colorful Pond
The Jinping Mountain Scenic Area is a landmark attraction in Mile, and a major highlight is the giant Maitreya Buddha statue at the top of the mountain. I headed straight for the Colorful Pond on the side of the scenic area. Under the clear sky, the pond is man-made, and the water is not a deposit of calcium carbonate, which makes the colors rather monotonous. However, the structure is unique and, coupled with the vibrant plants, there is a beauty that catches the eye. It's nice to wander around in the vast space at leisure. The scenic area is far from the downtown area, but you can reach the entrance by taking the No. 12 bus. This is also the farthest place I've visited during my stay in Mile. To see the Maitreya Buddha, you need to climb the mountain (there is a fee), but the Colorful Pond is free to visit.
🚉Travel Tips: Get off at the entrance of the scenic area on the No. 12 bus
👍Highly Recommended: Visiting the Colorful Pond is free
