Questions & Answers on Kunming Train Schedule

Asked by Kameron | Jun. 28, 2019 04:10

How to travel to Stonefrost from Kunming?

Answers (1)

Answered by Nickolas from SPAIN | Jun. 30, 2019 17:33

If you plan to go by rail, there are many direct trains to Shilin Station or Shilin West Station. If you will take a normal slow ride, it will stop at Shilin Station which is about 4km away from the Stonefrost. You can go by taxi to there. If you will take a high speed ride, you will stop at Shilin West Station. It is far from the Stonefrost but direct bus No. 99 available. The bus takes around 1 hour on the way.

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.

Answered by Ned | Feb. 27, 2019 01:36

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.
