How a foreign visitor actually books it
The official scenic-area site has a reserve-and-buy section plus dedicated English, Korean and Japanese pages. Walk-up tickets at gate booths are generally available; whether passport links online is not explicitly confirmed, so the gate booth is the safe fallback.
What else to know
A low-priced nature park with several sub-areas — Moxing Ridge, Mingchun Valley and Yuntai Garden among them. English orientation is decent.
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.
