Well, be fair, I'm not laughing at this set for its cheapness - I'm laughing because the "No Smoking" sign on what was otherwise a really rather good looking medieval Chinese set was incongruous. (And to be perfectly fair to the production team, I should point out that the photo I linked was a still photo taken of the set, not a frame from the lost film - so there is no reason to believe that that anachronistic "No Smoking" sign was ever seen by the camera.)
The scary thing about Doctor Who's budget is that other contemporaneous British science fiction shows had substantially less money. Ever seen The Tomorrow People or Sapphire and Steel?
