Yunnan Part 3: Dali and Back to Kunming

This is part 3 of the series from Yunnan Province in China, the province with the largest amount of minority people in China. It is also not very developed compared to the coastal cities of China.

Here are the previous parts, posted long time ago...

Yunnan Part 1: From Hong Kong to Kunming

Yunnan Part 2: Kunming, Stone Forest, Lijiang

We first started off visiting the Three Pagodas, outside the town of Dali in Yunnan.

I was told that this is the most expensive entrance ticket for all of China, around 121 RMB ($17 USD) for foreigners, much much less for locals, around 5 RMB. And also, there is not much to see there except those 3 pagodas which you can admire for less than 5 minutes.
