Tickets and booking
Admission is a flat adult ticket of 70 RMB, good every day of the year — the data shows no seasonal or weekday pricing tiers. The price line carries an explicit caveat: it is for reference only, and the figure the scenic area posts on the day is the one that counts. The pack lists no online booking channel, so buying at the entrance is the practical default. To confirm the day’s price or hours before setting out, call the site on 0773-8822949. Opening hours are 08:30-18:00, Monday through Sunday, so any arrival inside that window works.
Entrance and routes
Julong Pond sits at Licun village, Gaotian Town, Yangshuo County, Guilin, Guangxi — inside the Ten-Mile Gallery. The pack describes one practical approach rather than a multi-gate layout: come in from Yangshuo county town along the Ten-Mile Gallery, by electric cart or bicycle (details under local-transit). No secondary entrances, parking information or gate map is listed, so plan on the entrance at the Licun address and use 0773-8822949 if you need directions on the day.
Photo spots
The pack names no specific viewpoints or formations inside the site, so treat photo planning as loose rather than shot-list driven. What it does fix is the setting: the site lies in the Ten-Mile Gallery, and the listed way in — bicycle or electric cart from Yangshuo town — makes the journey itself part of the scenery. The 1-3 hour suggested visit is short enough that you can simply work with what you find on site. If light matters to you, the two ends of the operating day you can plan around are the 08:30 opening and the 18:00 close.
Timing and crowds
Hours are 08:30-18:00, every day of the year, and the suggested visit runs 1-3 hours — a morning arrival comfortably fits a full visit before lunch, and an early-afternoon arrival still leaves buffer before close. The pack carries no crowd data, so there is no verified quiet day or hour to point to. The practical default: arrive at or near the 08:30 opening, which gives you the widest time margin whichever end of the 1-3 hour range your visit lands on.
Walking and effort
The pack contains no trail length, gradient or route data, so do not budget this as a hike — the 1-3 hour suggested duration marks it as a compact sight, not a trekking objective. The one effort variable the pack does give you is the approach: cycling from Yangshuo town is an explicitly listed option, which makes the ride in the most physical part of the outing for anyone who chooses it. If you would rather skip the pedalling, the electric cart covers the same trip from town.
Getting there
From Yangshuo county town, the pack lists exactly two ways in: by electric cart or by bicycle. No bus line, taxi option, fare or distance is given, so treat those two as the verified choices and anything else as unconfirmed. The destination end is Licun village in Gaotian Town, within the Ten-Mile Gallery — once on the gallery route, the site is the named stop at Licun.
Cost breakdown
The only priced item is admission: 70 RMB per adult, year-round, with the caveat that the gate’s same-day posted price is authoritative. The pack lists no transport fares, combo tickets or additional fees, so the confirmed cash cost is the 70 RMB ticket plus whatever your chosen transport — electric cart or bicycle — costs, figures the pack does not supply. For budgeting a Yangshuo day, treat Julong Pond as a 70 RMB line item inside a Ten-Mile Gallery outing rather than a self-contained expense.
