24-Hour TWOV counts from your landing time, meaning that if your landing time and takeoff time are not more than 24 hours apart, you are eligible. You can certainly pick up your luggage if needed.

Since your transit time (based on scheduled arrival and departure) is less than 24 hours long, you do not need any kind of visa and you will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit. If you have bought your journey under one ticket, you will not be able to get your luggage because it will be handled by the airport from one to the other flight. If you want to exit the airport, the first thing upon your landing will be to approach the transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets and your hotel accommodation (if you plan to spend a night in the hotel). When your permit is, hopefully, granted, you will head to the immigration and then toward the city to spend some time on your own. Have a nice journey.

Hi Andi thank you for your info. Some friends said that Kunming is not one of the airport that can use TWOV.

24h visa free transit policy is adopted at all accessible exit-entry ports in China; according to the information posted by China Association of Port-of-Entry, Kunming Changshui International Airport is one of the ports in Yunnan, China. To conclude, 24h visa free transit policy works at Kunming airport. For your reference.

Kunming is normally included in all available visa free transit schemes. Please, just do not listen to hearsay nonsense.
