Kunming Airport to Kunming railway station by Metro Subway

I read most of your suggestion on how to commute from airport to railway station. Why don't you recommend commuting with metro? Is it complicated or not available at the moment? I will go to lijiang and considering the cheapest transport from airport. FYI, I'm used to public transport so I wanna know your thoughts about it. Thank you

From Kunming to Lijiang, you need to take a high speed train at Kunming Railway Station. And the cheapest way from the airport to the train station is taking metro. But you need to make a few transfers. The route is like this: take metro line 6 at the airport to Tangzixiang,transfer to line 2 to South Ring Road, then change to line 1 to Kunming railway station.
