How a foreign visitor actually books it
Real-name ticket via the official site or WeChat, or buy at the gate with your passport. This is the one place to see working historic kilns - restored Song dragon kiln, Ming and Qing kilns - and live throwing and painting demos.
What else to know
Roughly ¥85 in peak season (Apr-Oct) and ¥45 off-season. The wood-firing demonstrations don't run every day - if seeing a kiln actually lit matters to you, check the firing schedule before you pick your day.
If the official channel does not work
Do not assume an unrecorded booking route is available. Recheck the operator’s current instructions; where the interface itself is the obstacle, the practical mechanics are in buying tickets the official way and booking without WeChat.
