How a foreign visitor actually books it
Two further scenic areas of the same Wangwushan–Yuntaishan Geopark, each with its own gate, ticket and tourist-bus route from Jiaozuo. Buy with your passport; a hired car or DiDi for the day is the easy way, as both are an hour-plus from the city. Reconfirm whether each wants advance real-name reservation.
What else to know
We link no official booking page here — gate sale and OTAs, no clean official foreigner checkout we could verify. These are the 'if you have extra days' options, not why you came. Shennong Mountain (神农山, in Qinyang, long quoted around ¥100) is a southern-Taihang ridge famous for a cliff-top 'Dragon's Spine' stone path and macaques. Qingtian River (青天河, in Bo'ai, long quoted around ¥80 — pricePeak here reflects Shennong; treat the ¥80 as Qingtian River's own) is a canyon-and-reservoir area billed as the 'Three Gorges of the North', with boat tours. Both are genuinely scenic but secondary to the Yuntaishan main area; only add them if you have two or three days in Jiaozuo and a car. Confirm each price at booking.
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.
