It takes about 20 minutes to get from the airport to the centre of Kunming. International flights to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. ![]() Kunming downtown For each kilometer more, 1.8 Yuan will be added. A taxi from the airport to Kunming is about 20 Yuan. - The South Station: main bus station opposite Nanyao railway station - The bus station at the railway station square - The Western Station - Huangtupo Station (outside Kunming) In August 2007, we arrived from Lijiang by double-decker bus. Our fare was 196 Yuan including a hot meal with the other passengers in a restaurant along the road. The cheapest fare was 175 Yuan (smaller chairs). Our ride from Lijiang took 8.5 hours (7.30 - 16.00, 500km). From Dali to Kunming is entirely by highway and took only 4 hours. I guess that hostels in Kunming can make bookings for buses to Dali or Lijiang or at least know where to buy the tickets. ![]() 'business class' chairs in our bus |
