How a foreign visitor actually books it
Covered by the combo ticket; no separate booking needed. Passport applies.
What else to know
The aristocratic compound next to the temple where Confucius's descendants lived as China's most privileged family — a maze of courtyards, halls and private quarters. The most human and least crowded of the three; worth lingering in for a sense of how the Kong clan actually lived.
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.
