How to buy Huangguoshu waterfall tickets (booking guide)

What the ticket includes

• Admission: the base ticket for the Huangguoshu core area (the main waterfall, Water Curtain Cave, Doupotang and more), booked under your real name;
• Shuttle bus: the attractions are far apart, so the shuttle is essential and usually bought separately;
• Combo ticket: includes admission, shuttle and Tianxingqiao — ideal for covering the main sights in one trip.

For convenience, choose a combo that includes admission and the shuttle.

How to book

• Book online under your real name in advance; walk-up tickets may be unavailable or involve long queues in peak season.
• Enter the ID information of the person who will visit; entry is verified against the ID card.
• Choose concession tickets (student/senior/child) as needed; valid documents are checked at entry.

Concessions and free entry

• Children: under 1.4 m typically have admission waived, accompanied by a guardian;
• Students: full-time students enjoy concessions with a valid student ID;
• Seniors: concessions or free entry by age, subject to the site’s notice.

Entry tips

• Bring your original ID card; enter with the QR code / ID card;
• Arrive early in peak season to avoid the afternoon queue;
• During heavy rain or high water, areas such as the Water Curtain Cave may close temporarily — follow on-site notices.
