Hi there,

There are 4 trains daily from Kunming to Hekou Bei at 9:32 AM, 12:45 PM; 15:45 and 22:48 and it takes approximately 6 hours (the night train takes about 7 hours) to get there, and it costs 70 RMB hard seat and 129 RMB hard sleeper. I went there twice and after I crossed the border I took a sleeping bus to Hanoi, not the train and it takes about 6 hours to get there. It costs about 70 RMB. The road is good.From what I know the train from Lao Cai to Hanoi can be booked online but they will only have cabins on the night train that costs about 250-300 RMB, very nice and comfy.
