How to get to Z Hotel (Kunming Dianchi living aesthetics) from Kunming station?

Answers (1)

Answered by Daisy from NEW ZEALAND | Jul. 15, 2020 18:44

Taxi and public buses are all available in between, taxi takes about 30 minutes, the cost is around CNY30. The bus line 51 can take you there also, you can get on the bus at the South Square stop of Kunming station, and get off at West Third Ring Road crossing, the bus trip takes about one hour, and you still need to walk for about 1500m to get to the hotel.

How to travel to Stonefrost from Kunming?

Answers (1)

Answered by Nickolas from SPAIN | Jun. 30, 2019 17:33

If you plan to go by rail, there are many direct trains to Shilin Station or Shilin West Station. If you will take a normal slow ride, it will stop at Shilin Station which is about 4km away from the Stonefrost. You can go by taxi to there. If you will take a high speed ride, you will stop at Shilin West Station. It is far from the Stonefrost but direct bus No. 99 available. The bus takes around 1 hour on the way.
