Passport appears in the ID dropdown (verified 20 Oct 2026). Example total ~US$49.87. Official WeChat 「九寨沟旅游官方平台」 is the park-named channel but passport UI was not filmed.

Step-by-step booking guide

  1. 1

    Open the Trip.com join-in tour

    SKU 105293131: admission + sightseeing bus + one-way from Huanglongjiuzhai station. Read meeting-point rules.

  2. 2

    Pick date / departure

    Example opened: 21 Oct 2026, tour slot 08:30 (tour departure — not an official park timed slot).

  3. 3

    Set ID type to Passport

    Passport is in the dropdown (verified 20 Oct 2026). Enter name + passport number; contact default +86. Stopped before Pay.

  4. 4

    Enter with passport + instructions

    Bring passport and follow the tour voucher (meet ~08:20 at Huanglongjiuzhai station per product text). Gate acceptance of Trip QR = Check.

Key pitfalls

  • Do not treat the Trip SKU as a park face-value ticket — it is a reseller join-in tour with shuttle/meet rules.
  • Official website has no passport form — 「点击购买」 only opens WeChat FAQ.
  • Entrance ¥190 and bus ¥90 are separate products on jiuzhai.com; must-buy-together = Check.
  • Park text says 有效身份证原件 — passport at the gate = Check.
  • Huanglong is not verified here — do not invent a combo ticket.
  • Official notice warns against low-price / “快速入园” sellers.
