How a foreign visitor actually books it
Real-name reservation with your passport through the official site or mini-program, or buy via Trip.com/Klook. The internal shuttle bus is a separate paid ticket (roughly ¥70/85/95 for 1/2/3 days) and is effectively required to move between the scenic clusters.
What else to know
Gate entry is currently free under a renewed promotion (daily cap around 20,000, real-name booking required) — but that's a rolling promo, not permanent law, so check the current-period policy before relying on it, and note the free gate does NOT include the paid shuttle. The park is large with seven scenic clusters; budget two to three days.
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.
