🚐 Transportation Recommendations

✅ On the way there: Take bus 101 from Zhongyi Market (15 RMB) directly to the scenic area, hassle-free

✅ On the way back: Take bus 101 from the Visitor Center back to the Old Town, last bus at 18:00 (overtime buses may run later)

❌ Avoid: Private cars are prone to price hikes, public buses are the most reliable!

🎫 How to Buy Tickets to Save the Most

💰 Total cost reference: Ticket 100 + Main Cableway 140 + Yak Meadow 65 + Blue Moon Valley free = 305 RMB/person

✨ Ticket buying tips:

Grab Main Cableway tickets 7 days in advance! Be ready at 8 PM sharp!

Yak Meadow/Spruce Meadow tickets at 9 PM, easier to get due to fewer people

When buying multiple cableway tickets, the system automatically deducts the bus fee, don’t buy it twice!

💡 Key Notes

❗️ Main Cableway tickets are hard to get! Set an alarm 7 days in advance

❗️ Get off at “Shuiyue Pavilion Station” for Blue Moon Valley to save 2 kilometers of walking!

❗️ Choose either Yak Meadow or Spruce Meadow, Yak Meadow is recommended for fewer people and better scenery

❗️ Wear sunglasses and sunscreen, the UV rays on the snow mountain are very strong!
