[2025 Kunming Airports] Travel Guide for Kunming Changshui International Airport (Updated Feb)

#timetotravel Is an airport just an airport? Just like everyone els out their in the world ? This was the though I had in mind when sitting on the subway in to Kunming airport earlier tonight. I was headed in to the airport to catch a flight over to Shanghai and to have a subway line that takes you directly in to the airport I must say is super handy and a cheap way to travel! Only 6 yen from Kunming train station and just under 1 hour. Much cheaper and better than taking a taxi. Our check in went smooth and the check in girl was in great mood so I felt really happy when going though the security , of course I had forgotten a water bottle at the bottoms of my bag, but other than that it went fine and I was fast though and on to catch a coffee before finding my gate to wait for my flight. Beautiful and clean airport. easy to navigate when it’s all in a long row.

Landed just past midnight. Went through customs quite effortlessly. Collected luggage after a 10-20 minutes wait but it was smooth. Managed to find a place to sleep for a couple of hours. A business lounge with quite good amenities. Quiet from 2 am but at 5.30 am it came alive with all kinds of noise and sounds🤣. Toilets were clean and staff already at work.

Kunming airport

👵 Follow the local grandpas and grandmas to enjoy breakfast for old Kunming residents. 🥣 Breakfast in old Kunming A bite of crispy bun + a sip of spicy soup, or two bites of bun + a sip of Pu'er tea The crispy buns here are all handmade, and you can see the whole process, so you can eat with peace of mind. I've been eating here since I was a kid, and I always order a basket of four buns with four flavors. 🥜 Peanut sugar ham The most representative Kunming flavor, with soft and crispy skin, sweet white sugar, and salty ham. This is the taste of memory. Two bites of bun, and a sip of Pu'er tea. 💗 Sesame Another Kunming flavor, with a rich aroma and light sweetness, and a perfect contrast with the crispy skin. It goes well with spicy soup. 🍄 Mushroom and pork The aroma of mushrooms and pork is combined. This is one of my favorites. 💗 Pork The pork is just right, and the taste is unforgettable. Of course, the breakfast for Kunming residents is not limited to the above combinations. Usually, it is: a staple food + cold dish + snack/dessert + drink You can mix and match as you like, and have a different breakfast every day for a month. 🍜 Recommended staple food: * Pork wonton * Pork and preserved egg congee * Tangerine peel and eight-treasure congee The congee has a tangerine peel aroma, and is refreshing. Every bite of congee is filling and satisfying. * Cold dish: radish heart, three-color peanuts, kelp, shredded tofu, etc. 🍽️ Recommended snacks * Highland barley cake * Assorted spring rolls * Shrimp shumai * Four-color glutinous rice balls Four colors and four flavors, and you'll be in a good mood all day after eating them. 🥤 Recommended drinks * Pu'er tea * Soy milk * Rosa roxburghii ice tea * Bitter melon lemon tea All of them are good for breakfast and brunch, and are available for takeout.

#travelanywhere Kunming Changshui International Airport (KMG) is the main airport serving Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province in China. It's a major hub for flights within China and has international connections as well. The airport offers a range of services including dining, shopping, and lounges, and it is known for its modern facilities and fast clearance.

#travelanywhere Just a short flight from Kunming to Bangkok, the business class seat setup for this flight is 2-2-2, best for friends or couple. Lie flat seat as usual. The lounge is a shared one, with multiple airlines and priority passes/dragon passes. Hard to find a seat as there is only one lounge in the whole airport. Food is mediocre. Will recommend eating at the restaurants.

#familytrips2024 I have a late night flight into Kunming where I reach at 2.30am and hence it’s more feasible to book airport transfer as it will wait for me at airport and send me straight to the hotel. So it skip the hassle of figuring out public transportation or hailing a taxi, especially if you're arriving late or tired. A pre-booked transfer service will meet you right at the airport and take you directly to your destination. #Chinatrip
