Journey to MGallery Mile
Rafa Goes Around travels from Shenzhen to Mile in Yunnan, taking a flight followed by a two-hour drive. The MGallery Mile is set among mountains and a lake, with red-brick buildings and curved forms that give the complex a postmodern style. Rafa explores the entrance and central dome, testing the echo it creates. The hotel has wooden room keys and quiet courtyards.
The planned swimming-pool visit is not possible because the pool is closed for maintenance. Rafa instead spends time exploring the grounds and looking at the hotel's other features. The natural chessboard set into the landscape offers an unusual photo opportunity and a different way to see the hotel's outdoor spaces.
Rooms and family amenities
Rafa visits a second room and explores the children's playground with Jay. The playground is a welcome feature for families, and Jay enjoys it during the stay. The hotel feels peaceful, with only occasional playful calls from Rafa's companion interrupting the quiet.

Its architecture, central dome, rooms, courtyard and outdoor features make up the visit, even though the pool is unavailable.
