 Changsha South Railway Station and Kunming South Railway Station are only used for high speed trains, while Changsha Station and Kunming Station are main stations in the city center for normal speed trains. Sometimes, you need to make the transfer from one station to another by subway or shuttle bus. If the train schedule is not suitable, flights between two cities can also be your choice.

If travelling from Changsha to Kunming at the South Railway Station, it's advised to enter the station from the east square, as the distance between the security checkpoint and check-in gate is reduced by half.
