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 byGovt sponsored means the govts control the drug trade. From what I can tell, China is truly trying to stop this and does not sponsor the drug trade. The USA controls the drug trade 100% in Colombia and 100% in Afghanistan as well as many other places. There is enough evidence to support this. Simultaneously, it uses drugs to destroy society. Read crossing the Rubicon, the author, Michael Ruppert now lives in Venezuela to get away from the USA.
Cannabis is a medicine but the USA via the FDA and the AMA does not want this to be common knowledge. If anyone needs treatment for cancer, just go to Tijuana, Mexico because that is where all the Real doctors went to evade further harrasment and prosecution from the FDA. Cannabis is medicine and the patents will prove this, but the USA still classifies this as an illegal drug.
Govts define what is safe and unsafe. There is nothing we can do about this because the govt is run by the most evil and crimminal people on the planet. I certainly do not agree with their definitions but it will not change. 70% of the entire planet protested the Iraq war but they still went to war. Codex Alimetarius is another list of definitions made by the evil govt. Vitamins are bad and poison is good according to them. Smoking is good because it kills millions every year.
Portugal has legalized all drugs but no one wants to use this example of how ridiculous the war on drugs is. Drug use and crime in Portugal has declined sharply.
Bolivia legalized cocaine and the USA is not happy. Colorado legalized cannabis but the federal govt still persecutes people in Colorado.
Alien, how can I properly explain everything without writing a book.

Posted byBolbbles, If you think you can get a complete explanation about a complicated topic via a forum then you are being unreasonable. I am not being sarcastic at all. I truly mean what I wrote here because it is the only solution to this problem. The 5 items I posted is a reality of life. I admit they are absurd but this world is absurd. The govts that control the world are insane. I have been to Colombia, as a civilian and also via the Marine Corps. I know the scam. I have friends who work in border Patrol, drugs and illegal immigration are both a scam. Afghanistan is up to full production of Opium thanks to the USA who has armed guards to protect the oipum. More than 50% of violent crimes are alcohol related. Smoking kills millions every year worldwide. Banks launder money for the drug cartels and the govt knows it. Air America is still a reality and contniues to this day. This is not sarcasm, this is all true.

Posted byI live in China because China is a much better place to live in than most of other places. Yes, there are some problems but what country does not have its share of problems. But overall, China is a great place to live and China is genuinely trying to resolve this problem.
Alien, I know you are sincere in your questions. But my God, what dont you understand about the 5 items I listed. It is impossible to explain all this in detail if you truly do not know about all these govt projects.

Posted byIf you read what I wrote about cannabis you would know that I do not consider pot a drug. But now that you made a fool of yourself you call me a troll. Very mature!
