The new airport has two runways (versus the single runway at Wujiaba), and handled 48,075,978 passengers in 2019, making it one of the 50 busiest airports in the world by passenger traffic, the first time it earned this distinction. In 2020, it is expected to handle 50 million passengers. Kunming Changshui International Airport and Ürümqi Diwopu International Airport are the two national gateway hub airports of China.[citation needed] The main terminal was designed by architectural firm SOM with engineering firm Construction began in 2009. At the time, the facility was reported to be named the Zheng He International Airport, named after Zheng He, Chinese mariner, explorer, and diplomat. The very short construction time was marred by two separate incidents. The first occurred on January 3, 2010, when seven construction workers died as an incomplete overpass collapsed.[3] On June 28, 2011, 11 workers were injured when a tunnel that was under construction collapsed.[4] Construction of the airport's main terminal was completed by July 2011

I went to Kunming, a city in Yunnan Province, China. When I arrived, I was surprised to see flowers floating in the checked baggage lane. They were being sold by an unmanned person 🌹 And there were flower monuments all over the airport. That's because Kunming is said to be the most beautiful city in China, with warm winters and cool summers, and has many flowers all year round. It is also called the "Spring City" because of its warm climate all year round 🌸 This time, I only stopped in for one night as a transit from Shanghai to Ho Chi Minh City, but it has become a city I would like to visit again in the future! The airport itself is quite beautiful, so I recommend a flight via Kunming ☺️ 📍Kunming Changshui International Airport China Yunnan, Kunming, Guandu District, Changshui Village Postcode: 650209 #Let's go to China #Transit #Airport #Kunming #China Travel

got my eSim activated from Trip and it's 3AM here in Kunming. Gonna wait a few hours until the metro train opens and take the subway metro to Tangzixiang Station, after that take a short taxi ride to our hotel. 😁😄 #travel #kunming

Kunming is the Capital City and transportation hub of Southern Yunnan China. It is mainly served as transit city to other Yunnan region like Dali, Lijiang and Shangri La. Day 1 - Arrival at Kunming Changsui International Airport 17:00 We arrived at Kunming Airport around 5pm and by the time we completed the entry processes, it is already sunset. Since we book for eHailing (Didi), we had to go up to Departure Hall as the Arrival Hall only for Taxi and Bus. Then go to the exit of Departure Hall where Didi will be waiting. 19:30 Check In at Ramada Encore by Wyndham Kunming Guandu. We choose this hotel as it was not only nice and clean but it is walking distance to Kunming Railway Station. 20:30 Dinner at Shuncheng Street. This is a halal food haven that surely fulfill the hungry stomach. From bakery, hotpot, barbeque,snack to even grocery, it surely not only will tantalising your taste bud but a place to restock your food for long journey to Lijiang. Day 2 - Next destination i.e. Lijiang 08:00 Upon check out, we decided to walk to Kunming Railway Station. It took about 15minutes walk and we had a wonderful walk passing park and tunnel. Once reached Kunming Railway Station, it was so crowded and we had to find the correct door in the sea of people. 10:40 The journey from Kunming to Lijiang took about 4.5hours by train. 15:15 Once reached Lijiang Railway Station, we managed to capture the glimpse of Yulong Mountain (Might be 😅). Then we took taxi to our stay at Lijiang Ancient City. It is very easy even for a non/ limited chinese speaking tourist like us.#discoverchina #kunming #shuncheng #lijiang

Kunming Boting Hotel (Dianchi Haigeng Dam Branch) 💡Notes:

The story is about traveling back from Chengdu and connecting to Kunming before returning to Thailand. Since the first flight arrived in Kunming at almost 10 pm and the next flight was at 7 am, I didn't know what to do with my life. The airport was about to close. The check-in counter wasn't open and there weren't many people who spoke English. But I had prepared myself to some extent: I had to find a place to sleep. A friend told me that the airport offers a 1st-class bed service, which is like a field hospital. It costs 5 yuan. Another one is a massage chair for 8 hours for 35 yuan or something like that. And I walked until I found a sofa for 50 yuan, which is good enough to maintain my quality of life. It is safe and comfortable. There is someone to look after me and it's not too noisy. #Get a discount without relying on luck

#0yentravelFebruary2025 Trip.com is so convenient. Even if you don't have Wi-Fi or internet connection, you can see the flight schedule and hotel name you booked by opening my page. Since I paid with a credit card, check-in and check-out are smooth. If you get lost, just open the page and say "I want to go here." You can think of it as a necessary tool to enjoy your trip. So, I thought, "Whenever I think of it, it's the best day to go \(^o^)/ and went to see the scenery that can only be seen now. It has been exploding in popularity in recent years. Luoping is a picture of spring in China. Since it was introduced in Geographic, it has been developed into a tourist spot and developed more and more, aiming for Instagram-worthy photos. The rapeseed flowers are in full bloom from February to early March. You have to go see them. Schedule First day: Tokyo Narita to Shanghai. Transfer from Shanghai to Kunming. 　　　I was sent to the hotel from the airport. I was happy that they came to pick me up with their boards (^｡^) I arrived at the hotel around 10pm I stayed at a hotel in Guandu Ancient Town, near the Yunnan Museum. The hotel owner treated me to Chinese tea in the Yunnan style. We hit it off and drank until the night was over lol Day 2: As a fan of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guandu makes me think of Yuan Shao vs. Cao Cao, but it's actually a different place with the same name. Due to the ancient town boom, it's been pretty well maintained. There's a market on the outskirts of town, and on the border is Kuike, a feng shui spot that cultivates wind and wards off evil spirits. I heard that the best way to get to Luoping is by bus, so I first went to the South Bus Terminal, but there were few buses there, and the next one was at 3pm, so I gave up. I took a taxi to the East Bus Terminal. This one is bigger than the south one, and there are more buses. 　　　　After buying a ticket, it takes about 10 minutes to leave. (48 RMB) 　　　　When you get on the bus, there is a very lenient baggage inspection. 　　　　The toilet is only available after you pass the inspection, 　　　　in the waiting room where you board the bus, so be careful ⚠️ 　　　　　　It takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes to get to Luoping. 　　　　I left Kunming at 11:00 and arrived a little after 13:00. 　　　　When I got off, 　　　　There is a shared wagon to Kowloon Falls. 　　　(I was told it was 20 RMB) 　　　　I was the only customer that day, 　　　　so I went everywhere I wanted and rented it out. 　　　　・Niujie Rice Terraces 　　　　・Kowloon Falls 　　　　・Jinjifeng Hotel 　　　　I was asked for 300 RMB, but I got it to go down to 260 RMB. 　　　　Niujie Rice Terraces has now become a major tourist attraction. I had heard there were no toilets, but there were three temporary toilets. There was also a parking lot (10 yuan). There was also a food stall village. They also had real coffee. I always admire the business sense or business spirit of Chinese people. But the rice terraces are attractive enough in 10 minutes. The driver recommended that we start from the west gate of the summit of Kowloon Waterfall and go down to the east gate. The toilets were pretty clean and the food stalls were delicious. I recommend the clay bean cake. It's probably made by frying potato starch in rapeseed oil and spreading it out into a round shape, then solidifying it with shredded potatoes. (4 yuan per piece) The scenery was beautiful and it was so good that I had to have a second serving! The corn was chewy. Unlike Japanese sweet corn, it is mixed with rice and cooked, and goes well with the traditional local dish "flower rice." It seems best to eat it with salt and glutinous rice. Steamed sweet potatoes also look a little unappealing, but they are very sweet. They are not very good when cooled, so it is best to munch on them freshly boiled on the spot. After buying a ticket and passing through the gate, there are food stalls. These sell roasted corn and roasted sweet potatoes. Although the hiking trail is well maintained, the footing is unstable, so wear comfortable shoes. They also sell walking sticks made from mountain trees. My goal is to ride a raft at Lover's Falls \(^o^)/ (25 RMB) As it is one of the top 10 waterfalls in China, it is tasteful and elegant. It's a great spot to write Chinese poetry while boating, and relax with a drink and a pipe. 　　　　So relaxing. I feel so relaxed every time I remember it. 　　　　It's definitely something you should see at least once in your life. 　　　　Now I can relax with boating in my mind for the rest of my life. 　　　　I'm so happy. 　　　　As expected of a local tourist van driver, 　　　　he also parked the car in a hidden spot. 　　　　The view of the road surrounded by rape blossoms stretching out as far as the eye can see 　　　　was the hidden spot of hidden spots. 　　　　By the time we arrived at the hotel at Jinjifeng, 　　　　it was pitch black. Day 3: I wanted to see the dawn, so I left the hotel around 6:30. 　　　　An old man from a village I met on the road told me, "You're going to climb that mountain, right? 　　　　It's this way." 　　　　He took me to a group of old ladies standing and talking, 　　　　and asked me for 50 yuan for the guide fee. (^◇^;) There is an observation deck inside the temple. (Entrance fee: 10 RMB) It takes about 10 minutes to climb the mountain. I'm out of breath. The driver said yesterday that it's hard to find a spot, but it was drizzling that day and visibility was poor. Only one person came to take serious photos. Two couples came and left looking bored. The rain-clouded mountains appeared and disappeared, and as a Japanese person, I think this kind of atmosphere is much better. The temple is impressive, but it's a shame to leave without even praying. The sound of the monks reading sutras was drowned out by the crowing of roosters. To catch the bus to Luoping, I raised my hand like a taxi. (5 RMB) There is a sign for the public bus station 200 meters away, but I don't know where the bus stop is. Apparently, the road is a little wider and I just need to stay where the truck is resting, so I saw it in the distance and waved and it stopped for me. I took the 10:00 bus and arrived at Kunming's East Bus Terminal at 13:30. I wanted to use the toilet, but they wouldn't lend one to people who weren't on the bus, so I walked about 5 minutes to the public toilet. Bring toilet paper with you! To the Yunnan Museum, which I missed yesterday. I caught a taxi at the exit and headed to the airport. There is a 10 RMB course and a course that costs just a little more than 10 RMB, but which one do you prefer? I was asked. I'm not sure what the difference is, but it seems to be a toll road that leads to the airport. I still had time, so I took the 10 RMB course. (Taxi fare: 94 yuan + 10 yuan) Arrived in Shanghai late at night, left for Tokyo early in the morning I spent 3 nights and 4 days walking around like this, and when I calculated the total cost, it came to 100,000 yen. It's just right for a quick solo trip. There's still beautiful scenery and delicious food 🍙 It looks like I'll be able to enjoy China 🇨🇳♪(^｡^) 💰Price per person: 100,000 yen

Landed just past midnight. Went through customs quite effortlessly. Collected luggage after a 10-20 minutes wait but it was smooth. Managed to find a place to sleep for a couple of hours. A business lounge with quite good amenities. Quiet from 2 am but at 5.30 am it came alive with all kinds of noise and sounds🤣. Toilets were clean and staff already at work.

On the outbound trip, we traveled from Bangkok to Kunming by China Heather Airlines to Shanghai. Since we had a connecting flight in Kunming, the travel time was 4 hours, but the connecting flight in Kunming took 2 hours. To get to Shanghai, we traveled at 5:30 a.m. on December 31, 2024. I would like to say that at first I was really afraid that I wouldn't get my luggage, that I would have to reload my luggage, and that I wouldn't make it in time or miss my flight. But when the time came, the airline was very punctual and arrived in Kunming ahead of schedule. The service was very good. The transfer to the destination was safe. The weight of the luggage was 23 kg. The carry-on luggage was no more than 7 kg. sq.m. They were lovely and kind. Next time, I don't think that connecting flights will be difficult at all. It's convenient for anyone who wants to limit their travel budget. The price is lovely and recommended.

2025 China trip… Beijing. Kunming

👵 Follow the local grandpas and grandmas to enjoy breakfast for old Kunming residents. 🥣 Breakfast in old Kunming A bite of crispy bun + a sip of spicy soup, or two bites of bun + a sip of Pu'er tea The crispy buns here are all handmade, and you can see the whole process, so you can eat with peace of mind. I've been eating here since I was a kid, and I always order a basket of four buns with four flavors. 🥜 Peanut sugar ham The most representative Kunming flavor, with soft and crispy skin, sweet white sugar, and salty ham. This is the taste of memory. Two bites of bun, and a sip of Pu'er tea. 💗 Sesame Another Kunming flavor, with a rich aroma and light sweetness, and a perfect contrast with the crispy skin. It goes well with spicy soup. 🍄 Mushroom and pork The aroma of mushrooms and pork is combined. This is one of my favorites. 💗 Pork The pork is just right, and the taste is unforgettable. Of course, the breakfast for Kunming residents is not limited to the above combinations. Usually, it is: a staple food + cold dish + snack/dessert + drink You can mix and match as you like, and have a different breakfast every day for a month. 🍜 Recommended staple food: * Pork wonton * Pork and preserved egg congee * Tangerine peel and eight-treasure congee The congee has a tangerine peel aroma, and is refreshing. Every bite of congee is filling and satisfying. * Cold dish: radish heart, three-color peanuts, kelp, shredded tofu, etc. 🍽️ Recommended snacks * Highland barley cake * Assorted spring rolls * Shrimp shumai * Four-color glutinous rice balls Four colors and four flavors, and you'll be in a good mood all day after eating them. 🥤 Recommended drinks * Pu'er tea * Soy milk * Rosa roxburghii ice tea * Bitter melon lemon tea All of them are good for breakfast and brunch, and are available for takeout.

In this post, we will summarize the main expenses used for this trip. Let me tell you in advance that this is an energy-saving trip. Anything that can save energy will save. 555555 The main expense when traveling is probably the plane ticket. This is the first time flying with China Eastern Airlines. I must say that I am very impressed. The seats are spacious and there is no chaos on the plane. I slept comfortably and the flight was very smooth. I have to give credit to the captain. On the way there, we had to transit at Kunming to wait for the next flight to Dali for 5.55 hours and then fly for another 1 hour. It didn't take long to go through immigration. After coming out, we went up to pay for the reservation for the Sleep zone on the 2nd floor, put our bags in, and went out to eat at the airport before going to sleep in the Sleep zone. 💰Average price per person: Including 23 kg of luggage weight + 7 kg of Carry-on 4,735 baht For this part, if anyone is not comfortable waiting for the next flight, you can take the subway from the airport to the high-speed train. It takes about 1 hour and from Kunming Railway to Dali Railway, it takes about 2.15 hours. For us who went to China for the first time, we were afraid that we would spend a long time at immigration and would not make it in time, so we chose to take a domestic flight instead. Because if we booked the flight with extra time, it would take about the same time as waiting for a domestic flight. For the return flight, we flew from Kunming back to BKK with Thai Airways. This one doesn't need much talk. It's my number 1 airline. The seats are wide, the food is delicious, the flight attendants are cute. You can ask for unlimited water. There is no time to feel hungry. You can watch a movie and eat happily and in no time, you will arrive in Thailand. 💰Average price per person: Including 25 kg of luggage weight + 8 kg of Carry on 4,490 baht #Get a discount without relying on luck #Travel to China by yourself #China visa free

Kunming is the capital of Yunnan Province. It is a popular city for many people to visit. Many airlines land in this city, making it convenient to travel. From the airport, if you want to go into the city, there are several ways to get there. 1. Subway, take a direct line into the city. 2. If at night when the subway has stopped running, another recommended way is to take a bus into the city. There are many destinations, but the main one that people take the most is Line 2 that goes to Kunming Railway Station, which takes about 45 minutes. 3. Taxi or chartered car. When you leave the airport, many people will come and ask you questions. You have to bargain hard, otherwise it will be very expensive. #tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี
