How a foreign visitor actually books it
The official ticketing is built around the Chinese 2nd-gen ID card — the online and self-service kiosk flow references 身份证, with no passport self-service path. Foreigners buy a full-price ticket at the manual ticket window (售票窗口) with a passport. Don't rely on the ID-card-only online/kiosk flow; expect to pay the full ¥55.
What else to know
One ticket is an all-in pass to every scenic spot inside the town, valid 7 days with multiple entries, real-name. Open 7:30-22:00. Boat rides (水上印象/游船) and the sightseeing buggies (观光车) are charged SEPARATELY and are not covered by the pass. Ignore the OTA 'from ¥128' figure — that's a packaged itinerary price, not the gate fee.

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.
