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!

Posted byGreed - He wins 9 million but the article is about what he Could Have won. Greed never ends. I am sure the farmer will buy all he can but his children will not go to better schools. He will just build a bigger house in his village to show off. Look in a lottery store and you will see the people spend hours in there staring at the previous numbers trying to figure out the magic formula for the next winning numbers. Most people spend moe money then they wil ever win. Sick!

Posted by90 days for S2 visas and 120 days for Q2 visas.
I dont think it is a good idea as you must come and go every 120 days.
The Residence Permit allows you to stay without having to leave every so often.
