Why Trip.com first
English “how to buy Wuzhen” results lean hotel FAQs; scenic passport checkout is the real gap.
Trip.com is the channel we walked to a passport field; official site stopped at login.
QR entry for passports is easy to miss if you copy domestic ID-card advice.
How to buy
- Open Trip.com → Wuzhen West Gate Scenic Area; pick adult West for your date.
- ID type Passport; pay; save QR. (Stopped before payment.)
- Travel to the West entrance (Tongxiang / Jiaxing) — not East unless you bought East/combo.
- Show QR + passport at the passport / QR lane.
- Optional: try ewuzhen.com if you already have a working login — treat passport success as Check.
Official rules change — re-check the linked source on your travel week. Prefer official channels; avoid unofficial “guaranteed ticket” sellers.
Pitfalls
- Buying East when you meant West (or the reverse).
- Trying to scan a passport on an ID-card turnstile.
- Assuming ewuzhen.com hotel passport FAQ equals scenic ticket passport support.
- Holiday sell-outs — buy ahead on weekends.
