Use the staffed service point with the original passport if the online identity form does not support it.
- 4
Save the ticket and the exact transfer or cableway station.

How to visit

Leave Xiling Snow Mountain from the side closest to the next stop; check the transport note: Use an official coach or arranged vehicle; travel times are long and weather can disrupt mountain roads and cableways. Keep the final section easy enough for a calm return.

For Xiling Snow Mountain, save 西岭雪山 and 大邑县 in the map app; a broad venue pin may stop short of the visitor gate.
A current dated mountain product is needed, but the exact foreign-passport route and weather-dependent product availability require current confirmation.
For Xiling Snow Mountain, the usual crowd pattern is only a planning hint; check the day's notice and the queue at the gate.
Avoid these mistakes
The map centre for Xiling Snow Mountain may not be the visitor gate; use the named entrance in the record.
Check the date and source on any old price or hours screenshot before using it for Xiling Snow Mountain.
Keep a return buffer after Xiling Snow Mountain; queues and internal transfers can consume it.
A city-level booking page may not cover every boat, show or cableway at Xiling Snow Mountain; check paid sub-entries separately when relevant.
