Do you need to book Large Seven-Arch Bridge Scenic Area in advance?
Yes — Large Seven-Arch Bridge Scenic Area in Libo runs on real-name advance reservation. Release rule: Real-name entry with your passport; book ahead in holiday peaks, otherwise generally quieter than Xiaoqikong. A foreign passport works as the real-name ID. The official channel has no linkable web page, so the practical route is your hotel or the on-site window.

How a foreign visitor actually books it
Reserved real-name with your passport through the same official Libo scenic-area channel or an OTA, and usually paired with Xiaoqikong as a combined ticket; a passport is fine as ID. As at Xiaoqikong, expect an in-park shuttle and bring your passport for the gate.
What else to know
officialBookingUrl null and prices left null on purpose: Daqikong is sold through the same scenic-area mini-program and OTAs as Xiaoqikong, often as a combined Big-and-Small Seven Holes ticket rather than a clean standalone fare, so we won't invent a number — reconfirm the current combined or separate price when you book. Daqikong sits upstream of Xiaoqikong and is the bigger, more rugged canyon: the draws are the Daqikong bridge, the Tianzhong Cave (a stalactite cave, long quoted around ¥100 per person on the scenic pass), the naturally-formed Tiansheng ('heaven-born') stone bridge, and the turquoise Bilu Lake, with a bamboo-raft drift along the gorge. It's less manicured and less mobbed than Xiaoqikong; many visitors do the two on the same day or over two days.
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.
