Travelers planning an early-November visit to Jiuzhaigou should confirm admission before finalizing their journey.
In a notice issued on October 31, 2026, Jiuzhaigou’s administration announced that November 2 admission had reached the daily limit of 41,000 visitors, based on reservations recorded by 18:00 that evening.
The announcement follows several sold-out notices during late October. It concerns specific dates and does not mean that tickets are unavailable throughout November. www.jiuzhai.com
Reservations Are Required for All Visitors
Jiuzhaigou requires real-name reservations, including for visitors eligible for free or discounted admission.
Travelers should use the official reservation channels and ensure that their booking details match the passport or travel document they will use for entry.
Can You Join a Waiting List?
When reservations reach the daily limit, the “九寨沟旅游官方平台” official WeChat mini-program offers a waiting-list service.
Places released through cancellations are allocated in order. A waiting-list request does not guarantee admission; unsuccessful waiting-list payments are refunded through the original payment channel.
Allow Enough Time to Enter the Park
The October 31 notice lists autumn admission hours as 08:00–14:00, with entry stopping after 14:00 and the park closing at 18:00.
Confirm tickets before committing to non-refundable transport and accommodation. If your preferred date is unavailable, consider adjusting your travel dates or discussing alternative attractions with your travel planner.
