How a foreign visitor actually books it

Inside the park on your real-name entry ticket; the shuttle drops you at the trailheads and you walk the boardwalks. No extra ticket for individual sights.

What else to know

The park is a Y-shape of three valleys. Nuorilang Waterfall is the wide curtain falls at the junction and the main transfer hub; Five Flower Lake and the upper Rize valley lakes are the impossibly blue-green water in the photos. Ride the shuttle to the top of a valley and walk the boardwalks downhill — that's the efficient way to see it.

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.
