Release rule: Real-name entry with your passport; on summer weekends, public holidays and the autumn camping-festival peak the mountain gets very busy, so reserve or arrive early.

How a foreign visitor actually books it
Entry runs on real-name registration, so you book or buy with your passport as ID, through the scenic area's own WeChat or Alipay mini-program or at the entrance ticket office. The interface is Chinese-first; the simplest path is to have your hotel reserve it with your passport details, or buy at the window with your passport. Crucially, pick your entrance first (see notes): the famous Jintan/Golden Top meadow is most directly reached from the Jiangxi-Wugongshan / Shexi side and the Luxi (Yangshimu) side, each with its own gate and its own cable car. Don't assume there is an English-speaking window.
What else to know
officialBookingUrl set to null: the scenic area's public site (wugongshan.cn, the Pingxiang-side official portal) is an information site, not a clean ticketing domain we could verify, and actual sales run through the scenic-area mini-programs plus OTAs. Prices left null deliberately — we could not verify a current gate fare from an official source, and the figure varies by which entrance and which season you enter, so confirm it at booking. The key fact is that the gate ticket is only the first of several stacked fees: at least one cable car (often two, on different sections of the ridge) and a connecting shuttle are separate charges on top. Budget for the stack, not just 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.
