Foreign passport
A foreign passport works as the real-name ID.

How a foreign visitor actually books it

In Liancheng County, about an hour-plus north of Longyan city. Take a long-distance bus to Liancheng County bus station, then a taxi or local bus no. 6 (stops within about 800 m of the entrance). The scenic area runs an official online-ticketing section; otherwise buy at the gate with your passport as ID.

What else to know

The official booking page is lcxgzs.cn — the official Guanzhi Mountain scenic-area site (冠豸山景区, with an ICP filing and an on-site '网络购票' online-ticket section); it is mostly Chinese with a partial English toggle, and as of 2026 the site notes it is being upgraded for a 5A rating, so reconfirm the live booking page. Guanzhi Mountain (冠豸山) is a Danxia peak of red sandstone cliffs paired with Shimen Lake (石门湖); the two are the main sights inside the park and Longyan's most popular scenic attraction. Long quoted around ¥115 at the gate, ¥99 if bought online; the figure is dated, so confirm the current price and whether the lake boat is separate when you book. Opening hours run roughly 08:00-17:30 in summer, shorter in winter.

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.
