There is NO TRAIN from KunMing to HeKou (on the border). There are sleeper and seated buses for this 12 hour journey (day is best o see the views).

Remember to get your VN VISA before leaving KunMing (consul in town) and that:

(1) China time is 1 hour ahead of VietNam;
(2) VN Border posts are open 07.30-18.30H

AFTER LAO CAI the trains go to Ha Noi every evening.
