GUEST71199 I am arriving at the new airport around the middle of the day and looking to take a bus to Dali. What is the best way to go from the Airport to the West Bus station, where I believe all the buses to Dali leave from?

Take airport express line 2 and get off at Kunming Railway Station. There you can take train to Dali.

I suggest you get the train ticket in advance.

GUEST10149 Hi, I will be arriving into Kunming Changshui airport from Beijing with China Eastern just before midnight on 13th August and leaving from Kunming at around 9.30am the following day to Kathmandu with China Eastern. Can you please advise of a decent hotel nearby that I could use for a single nights accommodation?

Regards
Ryan

The airport was just put into use not long ago. There are not comfortable hotels near the airport though there are some hostels in the villages near the airport. I heard that there is a hotel inside the airport but it charges around CNY 800 per night.I suggest you take a taxi back to the town and spend a night.

GUEST10149 The hotel in the airport may be something to consider. I will try to find some more details on it. Do you know roughly how much a taxi into town would be?

Many Thanks for your assistance!

GUEST436789 It costs around CNY 60-70 at daytime. Since you arrive late, you need to pay a bit more.

GUEST10149,

The airport express is available until the last flight arrives. You may take the airport express. If you can not catch it, the taxi is your last choice. It costs around CNY 120-150 from the airport to the downtown area at night.
