Can foreigners book on Trip.com with a passport?

Yes — Trip.com scenic 10559092 is the practical English path with passport fields for the first entry. Later days in the 4-day window usually need the Chinese WeChat mini-program or hotel help.

How much is the Tianzi cable car?

Do I need a new reservation every day?

Yes. Even with a valid 4-day park ticket, each entry needs a real-name time slot and gate. No reservation means no entry.
