Do you need to book Lord Bao Memorial Park in advance?

The booking rule, in detail

Reservation

Required in advance

Foreign passport

A foreign passport works as the real-name ID.

Official channel

No linkable official booking page is recorded. Our record names “official Weixin account” as a booking route.

How a foreign visitor actually books it

The park itself has been free and open since 2024 — you can walk the grounds, the lake and Qingfeng Pavilion without a ticket. The historic core buildings (the Bao Gong Memorial Hall and the tomb) carry a small paid ticket. Real-name entry applies: scan in with the official WeChat account or just show your passport at the gate as ID. There's a time-slot reservation system you can use up to 7 days ahead, but in practice walk-up with a passport works on ordinary days.

What else to know

The official booking page is null — the park publishes notices and a scan-to-enter WeChat flow rather than a standalone official English ticketing site we could verify. On Wuhu Rd in central Hefei, dedicated to Bao Zheng (Lord Bao), the Song-dynasty incorruptible judge of Chinese legend. Open roughly 9:00-17:00 with last entry around 16:30; the open parkland keeps longer hours. The Memorial Hall ticket runs around ¥20; confirm the current split at the gate.

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.
