Hey all,

im soon going to begin researching for a fictional film i'd like to do next year, located in honghe valley area.
the general idea is to showcase a local village and utilize local language wherever possible.

my crappy chinese aside, the real interesting and difficult part will be documenting and coming up with a reasonably workable alphabet for an otherwise endangered oral dialect so i can write it in my script. also would be interesting to work up a "basic" list of vocabulary, grammar structures, etc, for posterity or larger project in that regard.
i am seeking help in doing this as i am no anthropologist. Any helpful suggestions or direct contacts of folks i might consider proposing the idea to would be much much appreciated!
cheers!

Haven't been on a high-speed yet from Kunming South that was late, either getting in or out

Also, if you prefer subway to get there or out, there are a bunch of small buses that go to and from subway. Google map or Baidu

oh yeah, there's an airport bus too, 919K i think

map is a bit old, doesn't have a couple lines, but you can use it to see where you'd have to change trains, then look up a schedule using Ctrip English or Chinese site or app.
Haven't yet seen a full schedule of all trains running out of South train station

Hey, for those unaware, there are Kunming Buses, same as cheaper white airport buses, with

“HighSpeed Railway" written on them...

They leave for South train station from various points around town, and return to town from bus terminal just beside High-speed rail station. When arriving on the train, follow the signs.
Buses run more or less hourly, 7:00am -11:00pm, and take between 60-90 mins, depending on location and traffic, and costs, at time of writing, only 7 kuai.

Buses are as follows, back and forth from south high-speed train station to:
920 Kunming zhan /Kunming main train station/ 昆明站
921 qiánxìnglù gōngjiāo shūniǔ zhàn /qianxinglu bus stn./前兴路公交枢纽站

923 huángtǔpō bus stn./ 黄土坡公交枢纽站
924 miánshān bus stn./ 眠山公交枢纽站
925 běishìqū/North City bus stn./北市区公交枢纽站
