Laoshan sells its zones by direction: the coastal southern line splits into a Taiqing-direction ticket and a Yangkou-direction ticket, while the summit and the multi-day all-access pass stand on their own. Prices below reflect current Trip.com partner rates for international travelers and can move with promotions. Children aged 6 and under (or below 1.4 m) enter free.

Quick answer: For the classic coastal day, the Taiqing-direction ticket at US$19.50 covers Taiqing Palace and the southern line. If you only have half a day, the Yangkou ticket is the cheapest way to the mountain’s best sea views — and add the cable car if your legs vote no.
Where to Buy & Why Online
Every smart visitor books an e-ticket before arriving: the scenic area’s admission windows stop selling at 15:30, holiday quotas sell out, and the e-ticket lane at the gate simply scans your phone. Trip.com is the official partner listing for international travelers — English interface, any foreign card, instant QR confirmation.
Using Your Ticket: Entry Day Flow
- Step 1. Pick your date and ticket line on the booking page — the direction (Taiqing or Yangkou) must match the gate you enter.
- Step 2. Enter each traveler’s details exactly as printed on the passport; children ride free but must be registered on the booking.
- Step 3. Pay with any international card; the QR e-ticket arrives by e-mail within minutes — no printing, nothing to collect.
- Step 4. Reach your gate before 15:30 for tickets (or have them already) and enter before final admission at 16:30 — the deadline reviewers most regret ignoring.
- Step 5. Screenshot your QR code as backup for weak mountain signal, and keep the ID you booked with handy for spot checks.
- Two deadlines, not one: tickets stop at 15:30 and admission ends at 16:30 — both earlier than the 17:30 closing time.
- Free cancellation on most dates up to 24 h before — flexible plans are safe.
- Jufeng is separate — the summit zone is not included in the coastal line tickets; buy its ticket + bus separately if you want the sunrise.
- Peak dates (Golden Week, summer weekends) sell out — book several days ahead.
Ticket FAQ
What is the cheapest way to visit?
The Yangkou line ticket at US$13.50 is the cheapest adult admission on the international listing — and it covers the cableway-cliff-cave corner most visitors love. Add the one-way cableway (US$5.25) only if you want to save the climb.
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. Partner tickets are fully digital — show the QR code on your phone at the gate. Keep a screenshot as backup for weak signal in the valleys.
Which ticket for a 2-day trip?
The all-access pass (US$31.50, valid 3 days) — day one on the coastal line, day two at Jufeng or Beijiushui without buying a second admission. Reviewers on 2-day plans consistently recommend it.
Is the day tour worth it?
If you are two to six people without a car, yes: from US$49.19 the tours bundle admission, private transfer into the mountain and stops like Qingshan — and they are rated 4.9–5.0. Solo travelers with a metro map will do fine independently.
Do kids really enter free?
Children aged 6 and under — or below 1.4 m tall — enter free but must be registered on the booking. Height can be checked at the gate, so bring the child, not just the measurement.
