Are tickets to Wujiawan Scenic Area free?

Wujiawan Scenic Area, located in the south of Yibin City, Sichuan Province, attracts many tourists with its unique "red tourism" theme. As an important birthplace of the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the hometown of Premier Mao Zedong, the scenic area is rich in revolutionary historical relics, such as Mao Zedong’s former residence and the former site of the Central Soviet Area Government, all carrying rich historical connotations.

A question that attracts attention is: Are tickets to Wujiawan Scenic Area free? The answer is yes. Since 2019, Wujiawan has implemented a ticket-free policy, and tourists can enter without purchasing a ticket. This measure aims to allow more people to get close to history and experience red culture. However, although the tickets are free, tourists still need to pay some additional fees in the scenic area, such as camera licenses (10 yuan/unit), as well as possible vehicle fees and snack consumption. Overall, these fees are relatively low.

In terms of tour planning, in view of the rich historical sites in the scenic area, it is recommended that tourists reserve a full day. Starting from Mao Zedong's former residence, learn about his growth process, and then go to the former site of the Central Soviet Area Government to gain an in-depth understanding of life and work during the revolutionary period. During your visit, please be sure to respect and protect the scenic environment, keep it clean, respect animals and plants, and do not damage public property.

In short, Wujiawan Scenic Area is a holy place where history and culture blend. Although tickets are free, tourists need to bear some tips.
