How a foreign visitor actually books it

All visitors book real-name online (the scenic area's official WeChat) and enter on their ID, so carry your passport. The official site is tbpark.com for reference, though booking runs through the WeChat channel. This is a big mountain day, not a stroll: it's the highest peak of the Qinling range (around 3,767 m), and most people ride the long shuttle-bus-and-cable-car combo up rather than hike the whole way, so budget for those in-park transport fees on top of entry. Weather at altitude turns fast even in summer.

What else to know

officialBookingUrl is the scenic area's official site (tbpark.com); reserve through its WeChat account. Base entry has been quoted around ¥90 peak / ¥54 off-season, with the in-park shuttle and cable car charged separately (a combined 'through ticket' is also sold) — confirm the current split when booking, since the in-park transport is most of the real cost. The park is in Mei County, east of Baoji toward Xi'an; check it's open and the upper sections aren't snow-closed before committing a day to it.

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.
