Jiuzhaigou park tickets

Question

Hi All,

It's necessary to purchase in advance Jiuzhaigou park's tickets?

I've read different information about this. Someone says that foreigners cannot buy tickets in advance but only on site. Other persons say that this it's not possible and it's necessary to buy tickets only until the day before the visit and not on site.

So what's the true?

I haven't found a website where to buy them.

If it's possible to buy in advance can someone posts the link where it can be done?

Thanks a lot.

Answer

Jiuzhaigou National Park is one of China’s most popular tourist destinations, and in recent years ticketing policies have become stricter due to capacity control and conservation efforts.

Here’s the current situation regarding ticket purchase:

Advance booking required: All visitors, including foreigners, are now required to purchase tickets in advance. On-site purchase is generally not possible, especially during peak season (April–October) and holidays.
Timing: Tickets are typically available for purchase up to 30 days in advance. Buying at least a few days prior is recommended to secure your preferred date and avoid sold-out situations.
Official sources: The official ticketing website is managed by Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area Administration. Tickets can be booked online through their official platform or authorized travel platforms.

Additional tips:

Besides the entrance ticket, you may also need to book the internal park shuttle bus, which is mandatory for sightseeing within Jiuzhaigou.
Foreign visitors can usually book using passport details; make sure to have a valid passport when collecting or verifying tickets.
If your travel date falls during a public holiday or weekend, prioritize booking as early as possible.

In summary, it is strongly recommended to buy Jiuzhaigou park tickets in advance online. On-site purchase is not reliable, especially during peak season or holidays.
