Cherry blossom are in bloom. Visitors are allowed to pitch tents inside the grassy areas of Kunming Zoo/Yuantong shan right under the sakura trees. Kids ought to love a day of picnic. Admission is around 20rmb.

Cherry on top, I believe the international circus has been in town for a while now inside the zoo. Exotic circus bird-feeding activities for additional 10rmb. Front-row VIP circus seats 180rmb, 2nd tier seats are 120rmb, 3rd tier 100rmb, and 80rmb for the peanut gallery.

Also inside the zoo, there's a new family playground installation for children ages one through 16 years old. Parents can accompany the child in the play-zone. 68 yuan per person.

@AlexXiang is correct...

Kunming's high-speed rail station is located bottom-right corner on Line 1 (red) at Kunming South Railway Station (昆明南站 or 昆明火车南站) in Chenggong District as depicted on this KRT map:

Easy-peasy two hour excursion from Kunming to Dali.

True, perhaps even costing 50-100rmb more than lowest prices on Qunar booking.

Yet domestic flights are marred with reoccurring delays... long, crowded queues for check-in, security checkpoint, and boarding... only to be met with no jet bridge at the end of the tunnel...

squeezed into airside transfer buses in lieu, like a train en route to Auschwitz... the vehicle finally moves when all passengers are crushed into vertically packed sardines...

reaching the plane parked in no man's land, passengers are squirted out via osmosis... only to be rewarded with portable "air stairs" to further test our agility & endurance...

climbing the slippery steps with heavy carry-on in hand(s) while braving the elements of wind & rain, praying to god you won't fall flat on your face in front of that pretty air stewardess greeting behind the plug door...

once safe inside the cabin, musical chairs & dodging overhead baggage shot put ensue... 20 minutes listening to safety instructions, another 20 while plane taxis for takeoff, electronic devices turned off for the next 20 during takeoff...

now repeat the turbulent ordeal in reverse upon landing/disembarkation.
