Thank you for your inquiry.

Due to the Railway schedule adjustment, all the rides after March 31 are now in pending status. Therefore, they are not able to book online at this moment. We are sorry about the inconvenience caused. You may check the schedule often in the following days. Although there is no confirmed news about the sale date but very likely on March 18.

Both Stations can offer high speed rides to Lijiang. It depends on which ride and two of the rides stop at both stations. It would be better to book the tickets online, some times the tickets can be sold out about 1 or 2 days before departure.

Answered by Albert from SAINT LUCIA | Feb. 25, 2019 17:10

You need to go to Kunming railway station, the main station, not south station. The last airport shuttle bus is at 3am from the airport to Jinjiang Hotel near the railway station. You can use this shuttle bus and walk from Jinjiang Hotel to the station.

thank you so much 😍

Asked by Edison from LITHUANIA | Feb. 19, 2019 23:24

Is there direct shuttle bus from airport to Kunming South Station?

Or metro service?

Answers (1)

Answered by Aaron from USA | Feb. 20, 2019 17:52

There is a bus No. 919K to the South Station but it seems only starts since 11am. You may need to prepare around 1.5 hours on the way. There is no direct metro lines. By metro, you need to change between many different lines along the way. It would be easier to use taxi. Taxi would costs around CNY100. Or you may take a shuttle bus to the South Long Distance bus station first and then use bus to railway station. It may be cheaper than direct taxi from Airport. If you are a group of 3 or 4, taxi is better.
