I'm planning a trip to Yunnan province, China, and am wondering how to
go between Dali and Kunming. Most of the tours use air, but we may
have a car and driver in Dali and it might be simpler just to get them
to drive us. Does that make any sense?

Flights between Dali and Kunming are cheap and plentiful. I'd take a
flight, instead of spending hours in a car.
