The Kunming–Mohan Expressway, designated as G8511 and commonly referred to as the Kunmo Expressway, is an expressway that connects Kunming, Yunnan, China, and Mohan, a town on the border with Laos, in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan. The expressway is a spur of G85 Chongqing–Kunming Expressway and is entirely in Yunnan Province.[1]

The Kunming–Mohan Expressway forms the Chinese portion of the Kunming–Bangkok Expressway, to Bangkok, Thailand. Mohan, the southern terminus, is on the China–Laos border and there is a border checkpoint which connects to Route 13 and later to Vientiane–Boten Expressway in Laos. It was completed in 2017.[2]

China National Highway 213 parallels much of this route but is not an expressway.
