Normal trains run at an average of 60 to 70 Kms per hour.  Bullet trains are running at a minimum of 250 Kms/hr at present time. 

So, if you know the distance between Beijing and Kunming, divide it by the speed and you will get an approximate of the time required, plus a bit more for any intermediate stops.  For your information, from Beijing to Kunming by train is 3,200 kilometers, and it will take from 38 to 44 hours depending on number of intermediate stops.

If you visit any website of Chinese train schedules, most of them will show train number, cost of different categories of travel available, departure and arrival times, distance and hours to arrive.  This is from where I got the information shown above.

 

A basic law of physics good to remember :

distance = speed  x  time .

I took the train from Kunming to Beijing recently, in mid April 2012. It was supposed to take 38 hours, it actually took about 38 1/2 hours. The alternative train was listed to take 45 hours.

A:https://chinabyteaching.com/teaching-english-in-china/am-i-eligible-to-teach-in-china/ 6. Age requirements There is no single nationwide age rule applied consistently across all of China. In reality, most Z Visa approvals tend to cap somewhere around the mid-50s, but how strictly this is applied varies by province and employer. Age is often more of a hiring preference than a legal rule. Kindergartens, for example, may prefer younger teachers, while international schools often view age as experience and are more flexible. Ironically, even ‘young’ and ‘older’ are subjective – some Chinese employers might deem 40 to be ‘too old’ to teach kindergartners! If you are at all concerned about age, it is best to raise this early with recruiters to avoid wasting time with the wrong job applications. At the end of the day, you should strive to find a school that appreciates your experience. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china Requirements to teach in ChinaTeaching English jobs are competitive in China, and to teach legally in China, you'll have to meet a few qualifications:English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL).Bachelor’s degreeCriminal background checkTeaching certificate: TEFL, CELTA, or teaching license from your home country.Authenticated documents: Bachelor's degrees, criminal background checks, and teaching certificates will need to be legalized and authenticated. This helps international employers recognize their authenticity. Be under the Chinese retirement age of 55 (women) or 60 (men) years old The qualifications for teaching abroad in China are strict, and teaching in China on a tourist or business visa is illegal and can lead to fines or deportation.   -- icnif77
