From where you got off the bus (marked with an (x) on the bottom right corner of the map) you take the first right, immediately behind the gas station to your right. You will walk with an orange brick wall on your left. From here you continue up the hill, keeping right. After doing a little semi-circle you come upon a little square with a basketball court where you take a sharp right and follow a path through a little neighbourhood of beautiful mud brick buildings. The path meanders and doesn't exactly go straight, but there's no obvious places where you could get lost, and after a while you hit a proper road. Here you turn right and find yourself crossing a highway bridge -- on the left, you can already see the toll gate. After you've crossed the bridge, you'll find the beginning of a little mud path on your left. Follow this path while keeping left, it goes in and out of a little fence and passes through a little settlement until finally you hit some kind of little stairway that takes you right down to the toll gate. Walk through the gate and exercise your itchy thumbs!
'''Second option'''
You can take a bus number 73 or A1 (and few more lines, but didn't remember all of them) until this toll gate https://goo.gl/maps/5531l (May 2015. This place is only visible on google satellite. It still doesn't exist on google maps. Don't get confused. Toll gate is there).
You will see the toll gate on your right from the bus. The bus will stop 50 meters after the gate, so you have to walk back and ask people there. It's very easy and you should get a ride quickly.
Be careful, this highway splits to 3 different directions after the tunnel. Make sure before you enter a car, to ask driver which direction he is going to. The best is if the driver is going at least to Anning. 3 km before exit for Anning, there is another toll gate. It's more convenient to try to find a longer ride there than on a toll gate described above because you will get lots of traffic coming from southeast of Kunming. (by [[User:NixyJungle|NixyJungle]])
