1 Overview
•
Real-name QR is mandatory for the Hunan Provincial Museum, Orange Isle Park, and Yuelu Academy & Mount Yuelu.
•
Mobile-first: every ticket sits in a WeChat / Alipay mini-program (museum, isle, academy) or Dianping/Meituan (theme parks). A mainland SIM helps with SMS, but 80 % of sites now accept foreign numbers or e-mail the e-ticket.
•
Drop clocks: the museum releases at 20 : 00, three minutes of frenzy; Orange Isle pushes a new batch at 00 : 00 three days ahead.
2 Pre-Booking Essentials
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Passport scan | Upload the photo page (visa if asked) for every real-name ticket. |
| Mobile number | Mainland SIM recommended; foreign number + e-mail fallback works on most apps. |
| WeChat / Alipay | Link Visa / Mastercard after wallet KYC. |
| Clock sync | Match device time to time.gov.cn (± 1 s) before a drop. |
