How a foreign visitor actually books it
5A scenic area in Fengjie with an official ticket-reservation site (门票预约) and a WeChat booking account. Capacity-limited, so book ahead. The site offers EN/KR/JP portals, but ID/passport handling on the official booking channel is not stated — verify on site.
What else to know
Open daily 07:40, ticket sales stop 17:00, entry stops 17:30, closes 19:00. Nearby Three Gorges Summit (三峡之巅) and Longqiao River are linked sub-areas with their own notices/closures (cableway maintenance occurred). Per the Chongqing 5A scenic-area register published by the provincial culture-and-tourism authority (read 2026-08-09): visitor line 023-85991001.
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.
