Do you need to book Jiuzhou Ancient Town, Jingxi in advance?
No — Jiuzhou Ancient Town, Jingxi in Baise does not need an advance reservation. Ticketing: Walk-up gate ticket in normal periods; the old-town lanes themselves are open to wander. Buy at the gate or walk in, depending on whether the site charges at all. That makes it one of the sights you can leave to the day, which is worth knowing when the rest of a China itinerary has to be booked a week out.

How a foreign visitor actually books it
Walk-up entry with your passport; pair it with Goose Spring on the combined ticket. No advance booking needed in normal periods. We could not verify a foreigner-specific booking path, so treat passport-at-the-gate as the route.
What else to know
We link no official booking page here — gate sale and OTAs only, no official ticketing site we could verify. Jiuzhou (旧州) is a well-preserved old Zhuang town about 8 km south of Jingxi, known for traditional Zhuang architecture, stone-paved lanes, karst-peak backdrops and as a centre of embroidered xiuqiu (绣球, the silk 'thrown ball' that's a Zhuang courtship and craft tradition) — you'll see them made and sold along the streets. Adult entry was listed around ¥45 (concession about ¥30), and the combined Goose Spring + Jiuzhou ticket was also quoted around ¥45, so the combo is the obvious buy; reconfirm exactly what it includes at the gate. Reservation status unknown — bring your passport for real-name entry.
What to still watch for
No reservation does not mean no friction. Carry your passport — it is the ID checked wherever one is checked, and a photo of it is not accepted. Where there is a paid gate, expect the counter to want a domestic payment app rather than a card, which is worth setting up before you land. And anyone approaching you outside with tickets is selling something you do not need here — the sights that genuinely sell out are the ones with a reservation rule, listed in Reservation Radar.
