[Explanation] In recent years, a number of characteristic small towns have been successively constructed and launched in various parts of China in order to promote the growth of tourism and help the rural areas to be rejuvenated. Yunnan is a major tourism province in China. There are hundreds of characteristic towns built or under construction. Recently, the reporter visited Dongfengyun Town and Keyi Town, Maile City, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province, to find their "characteristic" return and the integration of cultural tourism.
[Explanation] The brick red building complex in the core area of Dongfengyun Town is very conspicuous. According to reports, this group of buildings is a surreal and post-modern architectural style, representing wine culture with the shape of a wine bottle, as well as the fire culture and symbiosis of the Yi people. Among them, the "Kaleidoscope" Art Museum is the most special building in the town. The peculiar shape and special lighting design inside attract a large number of tourists to "check in."

Honghe Dongfengyun Town is a characteristic town with culture and art as its core. We have planned such a spatial layout of "one core", "two arts" and multiple groups. The "one core" is our core area of art, which is the origin of a small town. "Two arts" refers to us. In an art experience area and an art industry area, the future Dongfengyun will also be based on this original art building.
[Explanation] Dongfengyun Town takes "culture and art" as its core and relies on scarce art resources to create a strong artistic atmosphere. At the same time, using Maitre's 100,000 acres of high-quality grape resources and unique winemaking technology, the introduction of a professional wine team to upgrade the wine industry in terms of branding and brewing, extending the industrial chain, and achieving the integration of industry, culture, tourism and ecology.
[Explanation] Compared with the strong artistic atmosphere of Dongfengyun Town, Keyi Town in Dashan brings the most honest ethnic characteristics. This is the settlement of the Axi people of the Yi tribe. "Keyi" means "Auspicious Land" in the Ashi language. It is also one of the birthplaces of the famous Yi song and dance "Axiao Yueyue". The Yi epic "Ashi Xianji" is the most widely spread.

[Explanation] The town of Keyi takes the ancient village of Keyi as the core, which promotes the common development of multiple villages in the surrounding area, and accelerates the creation of the Ashi national culture as the core, integrating the Ashi cultural creative industry, the Ashi national cultural experience, and Folk custom performances, ecological livable vacations and other functions as one of the ethnic characteristics of the town.
