Short answer: Longmen Grottoes (龙门石窟) adult ticket CNY 90 (half CNY 45). Buy a real-name timed slot on WeChat public account 龙门石窟官微 (or the park's online channels). Bring your passport matching the booking. Peak days sell out — no reliable walk-up. We do not invent a Trip admission CTA here.
How foreigners book
- Follow WeChat 龙门石窟官微 and open the ticket / reservation menu.
- Pick date + timed window; enter passport name/number exactly as on the document.
- Pay (WeChat Pay / Alipay typical). Save the QR / order.
- Arrive in your window with the same passport. Late slots may be refused.
Price & hours
- Adult: CNY 90 · Half: CNY 45 (policy-dependent).

Why walk-up fails
Capacity is timed. Peak Chinese holidays and weekends sell out online. Without WeChat Pay, ask hotel staff to help complete the official flow — do not buy unmarked “agent” tickets. WhatsApp · LINE.
Pair with Luoyang / Xi'an
- Same trip cluster: Shaolin (separate booking) · overnight to Xi'an · Terracotta Warriors guide on site.
Pitfalls: Showing up without a timed QR; name mismatch on passport; buying random WeChat sellers; missing the entry window.
