🎫 Tickets Booking · Dongguan
Last verified 26 Jul 2025
Factory-frenetic Dongguan is generally a walk-up city, yet its handful of history parks and forest peaks now run QR quotas—here's how to snag them before they vanish on weekends or public-holiday surge days.
1 Overview
•
Real-name e-tickets are required for Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park, the twin Humen Opium-War Museums (Naval Battle & Weiyuan Fortress), the Dongguan Science & Technology Museum and the tiny classical Keyuan Garden.
•
Mobile-first: all tickets live inside WeChat / Alipay mini-programs or Dianping. A mainland SIM makes SMS push smoother, but every platform now accepts foreign numbers or e-mail delivery.
•
Drop cadence: Guanyin Mountain opens at 00 : 00 exactly 10 days ahead, the two Opium-War museums at 09 : 00 7 days ahead. Everything else is rolling inventory that rarely sells out mid-week.
2 Pre-Booking Essentials
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Passport scan | Upload photo page; museums also ask for entry visa if available. |
| Mobile number | Mainland SIM recommended; foreign number or e-mail works on 80 % of sites. |
| WeChat / Alipay | Wallet KYC (passport + selfie); link Visa / Mastercard. |
| Clock sync | Check device time against time.gov.cn (± 1 s) just before a drop. |
