Recommended path

Ticket office on site (with your passport)

Online tickets are set up for Chinese ID cards: in October 2026 a traveller found that WeChat and Dianping rejected non-Chinese names, and replies advised buying in person. Bring your passport to the staffed ticket window in the visitor centre (open 08:30–16:00) and buy on the day. The official English site has current hours and prices.

Step-by-step booking guide

  1. 1

    Choose Baodingshan, Beishan or both

    Baodingshan (the main site) is CNY 115 in peak season; Beishan CNY 70; combined ticket CNY 140 (off season CNY 100 / 50 / 120).

  2. 2

    Buy at the staffed ticket window

    Go to the staffed ticket window (人工售票处) in the visitor centre with your passport. Don’t rely on WeChat or Dianping — in Oct 2026 they only accepted Chinese-character names.

  3. 3

    Arrive before 16:00

    Ticket offices are open 08:30–16:00. The sites are open 09:00–18:00 with last entry 17:00.

  4. 4

    Enter with your passport

    Entry is with the real-name ticket or your original ID, plus face recognition.

  5. 5

    Add the museum (free with Baodingshan)

    Museum 09:00–17:00, closed on Mondays except statutory holidays. The shuttle costs CNY 20 round trip.

Key pitfalls

  • Online booking (WeChat, Dianping) may reject passport names — plan to buy at the staffed window.
  • Ticket offices close at 16:00 — much earlier than the sites.
  • Baodingshan and Beishan are separate tickets; the combined ticket covers both.
  • The Museum of Dazu Rock Carvings is free with a Baodingshan ticket but closed on Mondays.
  • Entry is by real-name ticket or original ID with face recognition — bring your passport.

FAQ

Can I buy Dazu tickets online with a passport?
