How a foreign visitor actually books it
Real-name entry with your passport; the ticket covers several days and the in-park buses, while cableways and the Bailong Elevator charge separately.
What else to know
This is the Avatar-pillar park. It's huge: pick one or two zones a day (Yuanjiajie, Tianzi Mountain, Golden Whip Stream) instead of chasing the whole map.
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.
