Hello, may I have your advice please ?
If you had to hop down to Jianshui from Kunming, would you :
1) buy your ticket in Nanyao station (if it's for sale there) before taking the bus to south station or

2) take the bus first in Nanyao then buy your ticket in South station for the next departing bus ?
Just trying to find out which is most convenient. Thank you.......

i'd take the train :)

Really ? I'll look into it. Are the departures frequent ?

Check the train here:

once in the morning, once in the afternoon, last time I checked. much cheaper than the bus as well, and only 2.5 hours

Plus the train gets you more into the centre of KM. Bus station is still some way out (unless there's where you want to be, of course, eg en route to ChengGong)

It's a great suggestion !!!! I had a look and am very keen to take it.

But I can't figure out if it's from main railway station in K or the smal North one. Do you think we will have to buy the ticket the day before? Don't ask me to buy it online, my chinese is too limited.

Hello, found out it's from main station at 8:42 am. I think i'll give it a try, thank you all for the info...

Lots to do in Jian Shui. I really like it there. I really like to go in search of the many wells in Jian Shui.

Hi,
I can't find a schedule for this train. Every website mentions one, namely the morning departure. Would someone know for sure that there is an afternoon departure from Kunming and the time of it. Thanks
