How a foreign visitor actually books it
Real-name online reservation; passport is accepted as valid ID for both booking and admission. Daily cap around 11,000. Book via the official QR code / WeChat; groups by email (lzyz5300@126.com) with name + ID number.
What else to know
This is the paid archaeological PARK (¥60), not the free Liangzhu Museum. Hours 9:00-17:00, last entry 16:00. The English visit page is on liangzhusite.com.
If the official channel does not work
The two reliable fallbacks are your hotel front desk, which books these through domestic apps every day, and the on-site manual window where one still exists. What does not work is buying from someone who approaches you or from a marketplace listing: entry is real-name, so a ticket registered to another person’s ID will not admit you. The mechanics are in buying tickets the official way and booking without WeChat.
