00ReplyYou need to take the train from Kunming south station if your train is a high speed train, since high speed rail is only available here. Kunming south is in the new district of Kunming, it is a little far from the city center.

00ReplyThank you for your your inquiry.
"Kunming Railway Station" is a specific station, as it is just named by city name. It is close to downtown, at No. 1 Beijing Road, Guandu District. NOT this south station.
