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.

I think this picture actually/obviously came from on of Kunming's prolific gov offices - but I'm too lazy and stupid to track it down (hint hint hint hint to gokm staff).
