How a foreign visitor actually books it
UNESCO World Heritage, managed by the Dazu Rock Carvings Academy. Official site has a real-name 预约购票 (reserve & buy) channel plus an English page; ID or passport required. Passport-based online booking is expected to work but the exact foreign-passport flow on the official portal was not directly tested.
What else to know
Baoding Mountain: opens 08:30, last check-in 16:10, gate stops 16:30. Beishan and the museum keep separate hours (museum 09:00-17:00); Baoding+Beishan combo tickets exist. Many visitors use OTAs (Trip.com/Klook/GetYourGuide) — those are NOT the official booking URL. Per the Chongqing 5A scenic-area register published by the provincial culture-and-tourism authority (read 2026-08-09): visitor line 023-43785774（宝顶山石刻景区）、023-43721274（北山石刻景区）; ticket 宝顶景区115元/人；北山景区70元/人；联票140元/人; off-peak 宝顶景区100元/人；北山景区50元/人；联票120元/人.
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.
