Tickets and booking
Standard admission to Tengchong Beihai Wetland is 55 RMB for adults, with a 27.5 RMB concession rate for seniors and students; both prices apply year-round, from January 1 to December 31, Monday to Sunday. The listed tip is decisive for concession visitors: discounted tickets must be purchased at the scenic area itself, and the pack records no advance or online booking channel for any ticket type.
Half price covers three groups: children between 1.2 and 1.5 meters tall (both limits inclusive), seniors aged 60 up to but not including 70, and full-time university, college and school students, excluding adult-education and graduate students. Documents are specified for two of these groups only — students need a student ID, and seniors in the 60-69 band need a senior certificate or valid ID. The pack states no document requirement for children in the height band; eligibility there rests on the height limits alone.
All prices are listed for reference only, and the scenic area’s same-day disclosure prevails. Confirm current terms on 0875-5130102 or 0875-5130508 before setting out.
Entrance and routes
The only documented approach is public transit: Tengchong bus route 13 to the Beihai Wetland Scenic Area stop, followed by a walk of roughly 498 meters to the site. The recorded address is Shuanghai Village, Beihai Township, Tengchong City, Baoshan, Yunnan Province, on Provincial Road 238, which places the scenic area along that road; the pack holds no driving directions, parking details or any other arrival option. Visitors not arriving by bus 13 should confirm their route in advance on the listed phone numbers.
Photo spots
The data pack records no designated photo spots, viewing platforms or photography rules for Tengchong Beihai Wetland — no marked viewpoints, no drone or tripod policies, and no seasonal photography notes. What is documented is the setting itself: a wetland scenic area in Yunnan, open daily 08:30-19:00, with a suggested visit of 1-3 hours and a roughly 498-meter walk in from the bus stop. Rather than invent a shot list, RoamSaga points photo planning to the source: staff can be reached on 0875-5130102 or 0875-5130508 for conditions on the day.
Timing and crowds
The site opens 08:30-19:00 every day of the year, January 1 through December 31, Monday to Sunday, with no closed days on record, and the suggested duration is 1-3 hours. The pack contains no crowd data — no peak periods, busy seasons or quiet times are documented — so no claim is made here about when the wetland is least visited. In practical terms, any arrival that leaves a 1-3 hour window before the 19:00 close fits the documented schedule; same-day conditions can be checked on 0875-5130102 or 0875-5130508.
Walking and effort
No trail lengths, elevation figures, terrain descriptions or difficulty ratings appear in the pack, so this site cannot be graded as a hike. The two relevant figures on record are the suggested duration of 1-3 hours, which points to a short scenic-area visit rather than a long trek, and the roughly 498-meter walk from the bus stop — the only measured stretch of the route. Nothing documents a multi-hour trail network, so visitors should plan this as a compact stop rather than a walking expedition.
Getting there
Tengchong bus route 13 is the only documented transit link: ride to the Beihai Wetland Scenic Area stop and walk about 498 meters to the site. The pack holds no timetable, frequency, first-bus or last-bus information, and no fare for the route, so those details need local confirmation. The scenic area’s phones, 0875-5130102 and 0875-5130508, are the documented contact point for questions.
Cost breakdown
The documented budget covers entry only. Adults pay 55 RMB; seniors and students pay 27.5 RMB. Half price applies to children 1.2-1.5 meters tall (inclusive), seniors aged 60-69 (60 inclusive, 70 exclusive, with a senior certificate or valid ID) and full-time students excluding adult-education graduate students (with a student ID). Free entry applies to children under 6 or under 1.2 meters; seniors 70 and above with valid ID or a senior certificate; active-duty military personnel, disabled military personnel, military retired cadres and retired sergeants with valid documents; retired PRC cadres with valid documents and holders of veteran-cadre retirement certificates; persons with disabilities holding a disability certificate issued by the China Disabled Persons’ Federation or a military disability certificate; accompanying and local guides with IC-card guide certificates issued by the National Tourism Administration; tour-group vehicle drivers with a Class A license, limited to one per vehicle; managers holding travel agency general manager qualification certificates or travel agency manager training post certificates; media personnel with press cards issued by the National Press and Publication Administration; and holders of the Yunnan Province High-Level Talent Green Channel Service Certificate.
Concession tickets must be bought on site, and all prices are reference figures subject to the scenic area’s same-day disclosure. The pack lists no further costs — no boat rides, rentals or in-site transport are documented — so beyond the entry ticket, no additional spending is on record.
