Getting to the city
Public transport is usually the cheapest way into Kunming, though it can take longer than a taxi if you land late or carry heavy bags, and the first ride is easier when you have your hotel address saved offline. Allow extra time for queues, ticketing and city traffic, and avoid counting on a quick exit straight after landing, because bags, immigration and the road into the centre can stretch the first hour; plan the first evening loosely and keep transfer options open if a bus is full.
