Starting today, an entrance ticket to the Huangshan Mountain during peak period (from March 3 to November 30) will increase from 135 yuan to 200 yuan (US$16-US$24). For off-peak period from December 1 to February 28 next year, the ticket will be 120 yuan.

To keep a balance, local travel agencies are asking travelers to bear the rising costs.

Another local travel agency has excluded entrance ticket prices from package tour prices.
Jiuzhaigou will also see price increases for individual travelers from July 1, and the group ticket prices will also increase from August 1, said an industry analyst.
