Questions & Answers on Kunming Train Schedule

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.

No G train available for booking in November

I want to book a G type from Shenzhen North to Kunming South in november (around the 11th) but they are not listed as options for the entire month of November. Is this because they are not yet available for booking? Or because they are sold out? Thanks in advance.

Answered by Kimbrough from UNITED KINGDOM | Oct. 16, 2017 20:39

The 2 G types are now under adjustment by the railway authority, thus they are not available for sale at this time. You may choose to wait for a few more days. They should be released if the adjustment finished.
