It depends on the program. For Yunda, several, but not ALL graduate and doctoral programs are hosted at the Green Lake campus - but you'll have to check with the university directly as most activities are migrating to Chenggong as mentioned.
Yunda has buses from the Green Lake Campus to the Chenggong Campus that operate all day long (roughly hourly). The commute fee, if any, is nominal/negligible. The subways also take you into university town but don't know station proximity to campus entrances. From Kunming city central - it costs ¥5 to the airport, so would assume the cost is ≤¥10 round trip daily - but the campus bus will absolutely be cheaper.
FYI, the Chenggong campuses are epic and monolithic to sustain future growth. Kunming is currently at a population of roughly 6.5 million with a mandate to grow to 10 million (no known or published date).
Depending on your planned duration of stay - there are many opportunities to help, start, and or lead new research departments to develop world class arts and sciences curricula, students, and ... ad infinitum.
If you need a formal introduction to the university, let me know and I'll introduce you to the Foreign Affairs Office - to help you get started. Your Chinese Language abilities will absolutely make things smoother.
Please Private Mail (PM) me if you'd like this assistance. Please note - everyone is on Chinese New Year break so arranging informal meetings may be delayed until March when campus operations emerge from hibernation.

It's no prob...I was actually amused. The leadoff reminded me of Chevy Chase's famous news skits on SNL (Jane, you ignorant....). Apologies for goading you into a massive response. Out of respect, I read it all and concur - but...kids will be kids...sometimes, they just gotta learn things the hard way, in the real world.
As for the professional project management comment - I was commenting on the PM process, not the extraordinarily polarizing debatable aspects of mandatory PE for emerging adults. The university exhibited the core PM processes - which I find unusual with most government organizations and officials (to include USA - not familiar with the shenanigans of other governments, so no opinions there).

Perhaps it's the brevity of internet blogs - however thank you for broadly insinuating publicly I'm a failure as a parent, based on a singular vague and unimplemented opinion. I'm guessing my personal opinion must have been highly inflammatory to elicit such a highly inflammatory comment.
As a parental failure - I'll use any and all tools available to guide my children towards being self-sustaining, productive, ethical, moral, and responsible citizens of society. If the kids refuse to study at home, do their home chores, are addicted to their digital devices, disrespectful - I'll put them in boarding school jails, where they're forced to study under someone else's oppressive eye, digital devices are forbidden or destroyed, physical daily exercise is mandatory, and their every living and waking moment is controlled.
If university trained/prepared professional life isn't desirable to them, I'll try to guide them into sustainable vocational careers, to include military service.
As a parental failure, I'm also of the opinion that my primary duty is not to be my children's best friend, although perhaps that will come with time and maturity (from both parties - parent AND child) - but to prepare them for a responsible self sustainable life without me, fiscal, environmental, and social responsibility.
We never know how long we can breathe and wander the earth - so yes, I'm absolutely a chronic failure as a parent - better than some - worse than others. So I strive to "parent" with "a sense of urgency".
Incredibly astute of you to pick ascertain my chronic and pervasive failure as a parent, based on a singular, as yet unimplemented opinion of mandatory physical education with a stated and measurable performance metric.
On that note - the university was incredibly amazing in stating and implementing this specific requirement. It showed some potentially incredible project management skills as opposed to the typically vague management directives.
