Sending a bike to Kunming via train?

Yes, you can, but it will take about three days if I remember rightly (or at least they guarantee it will get there in that time). I sent my bike from Hunan to Kunming, and for a 10kg bike it cost about 40-50 rmb, so I'm guessing since Hangzhou is about double the distance, maybe double the price. You'll need to take it to pieces, ideally put it in a bike bag with plenty of padding, then they'll box it up. If your bike is expensive, you'll need to insure it, how much that costs obviously depends on how much you insure it up to. I think the insurance cost about double the postage price, but that's because I insured it for quite a lot.

When I moved from Zhengzhou to Beijing a Chinese friend called a moving company and they only charged me 50 kuai to ship my bike. I did go to the local bike store and I had them dismantle it so that it would fit into a box. But I then just had the moving company meet me at a bike store in Beijing where I got it put back together. If I remember correctly it took about a week to ship.
