Key pitfalls

  • No official web passport form — only WeChat QR.

FAQ

Can I buy with a passport?

Yes on Trip.com — Passport in the ID menu (verified 20 Oct 2026). Official WeChat passport UI not filmed.

Official WeChat instead?

门票预订 on xitang.com.cn only shows a WeChat QR. Harder without WeChat — treat as fallback.

Why did checkout show CNY 85?

List was CNY 95; Trip promo/discount can change the line total. Re-check when you book.

Night ticket ¥60?

That figure sits in an HTML comment and is not on-page — do not plan on it from our pass.
