Do you need to book Stone Bridge Flying Waterfall / 石梁飞瀑 in advance?
Yes — Stone Bridge Flying Waterfall / 石梁飞瀑 in Tiantai runs on real-name advance reservation. A foreign passport works as the real-name ID. We have not found an official statement of when tickets release or a booking page we can link, so the practical route is your hotel front desk — and we say so rather than guess.

How a foreign visitor actually books it
Buy the Shiliang admission at the scenic-area gate (passport fine as ID if asked); no advance booking in normal periods. Admission is separate from the return shuttle, and there's a cheaper combined ticket that bundles the two — work out at the window whether you want just entry or entry-plus-shuttle. Most people walk the trail one way from the lower entrance up to the upper entrance.
What else to know
We link no official booking page here — gate sale, with no official online ticketing channel we could verify for an overseas visitor. The headline sight is the waterfall that pours under an extremely rare 7m-long granite natural bridge (the 'stone beam' that names the whole area), with Song- and Ming-dynasty calligraphy carved into the rock around it. Admission roughly ¥60; the return shuttle is a separate ~¥40, or about ¥88 for a combined ticket. Prices last cross-checked against Wikivoyage's fee table — confirm the day's rate at the gate.
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.
