What else to know
Free, closed Mondays. Distinct from the paid Liangzhu Ancient City Park up the road. English visit info is mirrored on liangzhusite.com.
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.
