Tickets and booking
Entry costs 35 yuan, with a separate sightseeing-shuttle ticket at 10 yuan one-way or 15 yuan round-trip; both rates apply every day of the year (January 1 through December 31, Monday to Sunday). The park’s posted notes add one more price: children measuring 1.2 m or taller pay 200 yuan for the hot air balloon, with the height check done on site. No adult balloon fare appears in the record, so confirm that figure by phone on 0875-5133333 or 0875-5868888 before budgeting for the ride. The pack lists no online-booking channel, so the reliable default is paying on site and calling ahead with specific questions.
Entrance and routes
The gate sits at Mazhan Township, Tengchong City, Baoshan, Yunnan — the full address on record. Hours are 08:00-18:00, Monday to Sunday, all year. The documented approach is the dedicated Volcano Line shuttle bus, which runs direct from Tengchong county town. Inside the park, a sightseeing shuttle (10 yuan one-way, 15 yuan round-trip) handles on-site transport, and the park’s lines, 0875-5133333 and 0875-5868888, take questions on access and facilities.
Photo spots
The one vantage the park’s posted notes elaborate is the hot air balloon, which puts riders above the volcano park for wide aerial frames — subject to its rules: no rides for people with a fear of heights or for disabled visitors, and a 200 yuan fare for children 1.2 m or taller, height checked on site. Beyond the balloon, the record names no specific viewpoints, platforms or lookouts, so frame the shot list around the fixed daylight window: gates open at 08:00 and close at 18:00, daily.
Timing and crowds
The pack carries no crowd or seasonality data, so timing rests on the documented clock: 08:00-18:00, every day of the year, with a suggested visit length of 1-3 hours. That duration fits easily inside a single day’s window; arriving near the 08:00 opening simply maximizes the daylight available. If children are riding the balloon, build in time for the on-site height check that determines the 200 yuan child fare.
Walking and effort
The record lists no trail lengths, gradients or difficulty ratings, so the walking cannot be quantified from the data. What it does document is a suggested stay of 1-3 hours and a sightseeing shuttle priced at 10 yuan one-way or 15 yuan round-trip — the park’s own lever for reducing time on foot. Practically: take the round-trip shuttle at 15 yuan to keep walking minimal, the one-way at 10 yuan to split the difference, or skip it and cover the ground under your own steam.
Getting there
Access from town runs on the dedicated Volcano Line shuttle bus, which departs Tengchong county town and goes direct to the park at Mazhan Township, Tengchong City, Baoshan, Yunnan. The pack records no timetable, frequency or fare for this bus, so verify those details locally or by phone on 0875-5133333 or 0875-5868888 before setting out.
Cost breakdown
Every documented cost, in full: park entry 35 yuan; sightseeing shuttle 10 yuan one-way or 15 yuan round-trip; hot air balloon 200 yuan for children measuring 1.2 m or taller, with height verified on site. Entry plus a round-trip shuttle comes to 50 yuan before any balloon ride. The posted notes give no adult balloon fare, so that line item stays open until confirmed with the park on 0875-5133333 or 0875-5868888.
