7.Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can foreign tourists buy tickets directly at the scenic gate? A: Not recommended. Full-price tickets are often sold out during peak seasons, and on-site counters have limited quotas for overseas visitors. Pre-booking via our agency is the safest choice.

Q: Can I use an overseas student ID to get a student discount? A: No. For students aged 18 and older, only student ID issued by Mainland China universities is recognised for concession tickets.

Q: Do I need my passport only when entering the scenic spot? A: No. Passport information is required during ticket reservation and you must carry the original passport for verification at check-in. No passport = no entry.

Q: Can I change the visiting date after booking? A: Date adjustment and refunds depend on scenic official rules. Notify us as early as possible if you need to modify your itinerary.
