Medad,
If you have time and you are NOT in a hurry, I suggest you stop at Jian Shui. It is the halfway point between Hekou and Kunming and there is a lot to see and do in Jian Shui.

My wife is Chinese and she buys all the tickets. The ticket prices are clearly marked on the tickets and the prices I quoted above are for chinese as well as foreigners.
The only place I have visited where the ticket prices differ from the price marked on the tickets is SHA LIN - Sand Forest in LuLiang, Qujing. The ticket price on the window and the tickets reads 100 RMB but the actual price we paid was only 50 RMB.
As you can see from my website, I have been living in Yunnan for the last 8 years. I have visited these 2 places many times and as recently as a few months ago. The ticket prices have changed considerably over that period of time. 8 years ago, the tickets to Pu Zhe Hei were only 100 RMB, 2 years ago they jumped to 160 RMB and now they are 200 RMB. I was there a few months ago. Obviously your chinese friend and Vietnamese friend passed on erroneous info when she told you they were 60 RMB. As for Ba Mei, the ticket prices were steady at 40 RMB for the last 7 years. However, when I went there a few months ago, they jumped to 100 RMB.
Yadan, as I mentioned earlier in this thread - If you look in my website it will tell you clearly and specifically what you are looking for including the price of the entrance tickets.

Pu Zhe Hei = 200 RMB - If you want to get in legally for free, let me know - NOT illegally
Ba Mei = 100 RMB
Peter7, if you really want to visit Tuan Shan then you must go to Jian Shui first. Give a taxi driver in Jian Shui 40 RMB or a motorcycle driver 30 RMB and they will take you there in less than 30 minutes. I suggest you go see the double dragon bridge first and hopefully this will pique your curiosity and challenge you to find the other 3 bridges. When you stop at Jian Shui, make sure you go to any big hotel and buy a map of Jian Shui for 5 RMB. Jian Shui has the best map I have found anywhere in China thus far. When you get the map, look for some of the wells and walk around until you find them. After you find one well, I am certain you will want to discover the others and will NOT rest until you have seen all 47 wells in Jian Shui.
For me, travel is exciting and wonderful because I discovered a certain place all by myself. I always seem to find more interesting places when I get lost or sidetracked. Additionally, after just 1 month in China, I realized I never have to wonder or ask anyone about buses or hotels because no matter where I go, how remote the place, buses, motorcycles, tuk tuks, minivans and guesthouses and hotels can always be found. I dont speak chinese, and I have no plans of learning, yet I can still manage to find and visit any place I have in my mind.
Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall Find!

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.

发布者I laugh at the ridiculous examples given of philanthropy. Obviously written by someone who has no idea of what is going on in the world. Rich people do not go to jail, they just pay fines. When a rich person or a company pays a fine it means they are GUILTY. When rich people kill and murder innocent people they are not called murders and go to jail, they merely pay a fine. Maybe you can google some of the many examples of rich not going to jail and only paying fines.

发布者History Never stops - It is just written by the winners (rich) and history never changes. Cut social programs and give more money to the military. Ask people at random, Was Hugo Chavez and Gadaffi good or bad? Now wait to hear their response.
Can someone name one rich person who helps the less fortunate. I really am interested in hearing this answer.

发布者Most people are Not able to make the paradigm shift and this is why the world does not change. I for one have no idea what to do with 9 billion - Insane! But my life would forever change with 1 million. Think about how many 1 Millions are in 9 Billion.
The state owned lottery builds the old people's gym equipment you find in the parks - Wow!
Just like BINGO in the USA, you keep calling the numbers until there is a winner. Rather than have one 9 billion winner you can have 10 or 50 1 million winners. People can have better lives and the state still makes a profit. But Greed prevents this from ever happening!
50 people with 1 million can change many peoples lives (family or friends) as opposed to one winner of 9 billion that only happens once in a blue moon.
Go to any poor neighborhood in the US and you will find a liquor store and a check cashing store in every corner. Go to any residential area here in Kunming and you will find a lotter store in every corner as well.
Lottery gives people False hope and it is their greed that makes them sit in the store staring at the next magical numbers for hours.
