Buying tickets in advance for Purple Mountain

Question

Hi,

How can tourists book tickets in advance for Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum and Zhongshan Mountain Scenic Area? Or can we buy at the spot?

Thanks

Answer

Yes, tourists can buy tickets for Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum and the Zhongshan (Purple) Mountain Scenic Area either in advance online or directly at the entrance. However, booking in advance is recommended during peak travel seasons or weekends to avoid long queues.

Here are some details and options for purchasing tickets:

Online Booking: Tickets can be purchased through official websites or authorized third-party platforms such as Ctrip, Fliggy, or other Chinese travel apps. You will usually need a valid ID or passport for booking.
On-Site Purchase: Tickets can be bought at the ticket offices located near the entrance of the Mausoleum and the scenic area. Lines may be long during peak hours.
Combined Tickets: Some vendors offer combined tickets for multiple attractions within Purple Mountain, which can save money and time if you plan to visit more than one site.

Additional tips:

Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum and the surrounding scenic area have timed entry during busy periods, so it’s helpful to check opening hours and plan your visit accordingly.
Carrying the e-ticket on your phone is generally sufficient, but having a printed copy can be useful in case of technical issues.
Arriving early in the morning helps avoid crowds, especially if you are visiting on weekends or national holidays.

In summary, while on-the-spot ticket purchase is possible, buying tickets online in advance is convenient, particularly during high tourist season, and ensures smoother entry to both Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum and Zhongshan Mountain Scenic Area.
