Do you need to book Xiaoyaojin Park in advance?
Yes — Xiaoyaojin Park in Hefei 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
Free public city park, no ticket and no reservation — just walk in. This is the site where the Wei general Zhang Liao famously routed a far larger Wu army in 215 AD, so it's the Three Kingdoms pilgrimage stop in Hefei. The fairground rides inside (a Ferris wheel, a little train, the rink) are paid separately on-site.
What else to know
We link no official booking page here — it's a free walk-in park with no ticketing channel. Open long daily hours (roughly 6:00-22:00 in the warm season). The history is the draw more than the scenery; the Xiaoyao Pavilion and the small Three Kingdoms culture hall inside keep shorter hours than the grounds. Rides are extra — the 'Luzhou Eye' Ferris wheel is around ¥60.
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.
