Connecting flight at KMG
I am flying to Shanghai with a connection at KMG.
1. Will my immigration be at KMG?
2. My tickets are booked on the same PNR with the same airline. Will I have to get my luggage and check it back again at KMG or will the airline handle it? I am flying China Eastern.
3. Is there any exit immigration? I am flying the same route on the way back.

I did a transit recently on MU BKK-KMG-XMN, and I presume you will follow the same procedures.
1) Luggage was checked all the way from BKK-XMN,
2) When deboarding the plane in KMG, I was met my MU staff who asked me to fill out a contact form with my cell phone number
so that they could contact me if there was any problems with customs; otherwise they would transfer the bags without my presence.
3) I went through arrival immigration, then proceeded to domestic departures and security check.
4) I was not contacted about my luggage, and picked it up on arrival in XMN.

That was really helpful. My concern though, is that I will probably not have a China SIM while deboarding at KMG. (I think I will be able to buy it after landing at KMG airport?)

I don't use China SIM, I just gave my North American cell phone number which works world-wide.
