Alfred, is that an old LP?
My '06 Frommer's says there is a new expressway and it takes 4-5 hours
by bus. I don't believe the 4 hours, but he web site at
http://www.sinohotelguide.com/kunming/tour/trans.html lists most
busses as 5 or 6 hours, although there is a sleeper for 9 hours. Also
a discussion at lonelyplanet.com confirms 5 hours by bus.
