How a foreign visitor actually books it
Real-name entry, passport fine. Both sit on the ¥180 joint ticket or sell singly at the gate. They are the farthest-flung of the four main villages, so plan them as a hired-car or cycling leg rather than something you walk to.
What else to know
We link no official booking page here — gate sale, mini-program and OTAs only, no official ticketing site verified. pricePeak null: normally taken on the joint ticket; the dated 2019 single-entry figures were about ¥60 (Majianglong) and ¥50 (Jinjiangli). Majianglong is diaolou tucked among bamboo thickets — very quiet, few tourists, a handful of residents tending geese and chickens. Jinjiangli, the farthest out, has two striking towers with bulbous cantilevered upper storeys (one climbable for fine views) plus several more in picturesque disrepair, and more village life than Majianglong — peanuts drying in the sun, people chatting at outdoor tables. These two reward travellers who want the genuinely rural, half-abandoned-countryside feel that the UNESCO listing is really about; skip them if you only have a half day, since the headline pair is closer in.
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.
