The Dazu Rock Carvings Academy site (dazushike.com) is the official booking channel, alongside the Chongqing Dazu Shike WeChat account, which releases timed tickets seven days ahead and is reported to sell out within about two hours in high season. Baoding Mountain is CNY 115 in high season (1 Mar-30 Nov) and CNY 100 in low season; the Baoding plus Beishan combined ticket is CNY 140, and Beishan alone is CNY 58. Baoding Mountain opens 08:30-18:00 with ticket sales stopping around 16:00-16:10. Private cars cannot enter; visitors park at the Baoding visitor centre and transfer to the park shuttle. Two sources disagree on foreign visitors: one says visitors without a Chinese ID cannot book online and must buy at the visitor centre counter with a passport, another says the passport option can be selected during online booking. Treat the foreign-visitor route as confirm-before-you-go. English support is not confirmed.
