@Quester yeah, I suppose the high speed train will only be from new south station, regarding the distance compared to the old central station, I think there's no way to meet everyone's expectation. The launch will surely benefits both locals & tourists though.
After more than 5 years, the construction of Xianghe Tunnel which is part of Guangzhou-Dali's high speed railway has been completed on February 6th.
The tunnel, last 10.22km, is the most difficult part of the Guangzhou-Dali high speed railway's construction due to its complicated geographical environment.
This exciting news means the high-speed train from Kunming to Dali will be launched soon! According to our source, the first high-speed train from Kunming to Dali will most likely be launched around July 2018.
While a normal train ride takes 6 hours from Kunming to Dali, the high-speed train will take only 2 hours, that's 4 hours shorter! It also means it will shorten the journey from Kunming to Lijiang to only 4 hours.
Since the construction of high-speed railway between Dali to Lijiang has been proposed to the agenda by both local governments, we can expect it will take only 2.5 hours from Kunming to Lijiang in the future!
