Admission to Tourist Attractions in Shaanxi Now Costs Less

80 state-owned tourists sites in Shaanxi, China, cut their admission prices, four more become totally free of charge.  

Among the attractions which now cost less are the Dacien Temple (RMB50 to RMB40), the Big Wild Goose Pagoda (RMB30 to RMB25), and the Han Yang Ling Museum (RMB80 to RMB55-70).

Some of the priciest attractions of the province become more affordable, too. E.g. the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is now RMB120 (before – RMB150) and so is the Huaqing Palace. Tickets to the Buddhist Culture Scenic Area of Famen Temple, the Jinsixia National Forest Park, and the Qianling Mausoleum now cost RMB100 instead of RMB120. The Huangdiling Scenic Resort cuts prices from RMB90 to RMB75; the Taibai Mountains – from RMB100 to RMB90.

While admission prices still remain relatively high – higher than one can find in other countries of the region for similar attractions, this move is highly appreciated by both domestic and international visitors as complaints on the inflated tickets prices for attractions in China are frequent.

Shaanxi is a province in the north-central area of China. It is well connected to the rest of the country via air, rail and road. Xi’anXianyang International Airport receives the vast majority of air traffic intoShaanxi with flights from more than 180 Chinese cities and over 20 foreigndestinations. Xi’an isthe main transportation hub in the region for train travel with Xi’an RailwayStation and Xi’an North Station both among some of the busiest stations inChina. Beijing is just 4.5 hours by high speed train from the city whileShanghai can be reached in 6 hours. Expressbuses operate from all directions into Xi’an, from as far away as Shanghai,Guangzhou and Tibet.
