Where exactly is the Myanmar consulate in Kunming, China?

It turns out two of the addresses refer to the same place! The site must have been redeveloped recently with new, internal roads.

The consulate is not located in a park as it seems from Google Maps. I believe the area is a special consular zone. It seems to only contain a Lao consulate and a Myanmar consulate so far. There’s also an official Chinese office of some kind there. The rest of the land is just grass and a couple of roads waiting for more consulates to be erected.

So the special zone seems to be at the old 6800 Caiyun Road North address and the Mynamar consulate is now at the new 99 Ying Bin Road address, within the zone. (Here’s a Google map showing the walk between the old and new street addresses.) If you’re arriving on your own, you can forget looking for either street number.

But there are much more useful landmarks. It’s right at the brand new Erji Road (珥季路) metro station, which is walking distance from a gigantic shopping mall with a Carrefour.

Thanks to the metro you also don’t have to worry about taking a bus or taxi. It costs just ¥4 CNY to get there from Tangzixiang (塘子巷) metro station, which is about a 15 minute walk from Jinma Biji Square, the centre of Kunming. The metro ride is about 20 minutes, 8 stops.

Copy the characters I gave above and give it to the cab driver.
Cab driver MUST know it, don’t bother with the bus.

According to their website, the address is supposed to be

  • No.99, Ying Bin Lu, GuanDu Qu, Kunming, Yunnan Province, China

  • Off : +86-871- 816 2806, 816 2814

  • Fax : +86-871 816 2803

  • Email : [email protected]

That’s in a park, here, on google maps. The pointer description (缅甸联邦驻昆明总领事馆) stands for "Consulate General of the Union of Myanmar in Kunming", so you might want to look for that sign from the outside to be sure. The Chinese address (昆明官渡区迎宾路99号) matches the English one on their website too, FYI.

It might be worth while calling them before going there, at least to be sure about opening hours. Given the very nice location with a pond and inside that park, I would think that this is the correct and permanent location of the embassy.
