🎫 Tickets Booking · Foshan
Last verified 26 Jul 2025
The low-stress city of kung-fu masters rarely sells out—but a few signature sites still ask for a real-name QR, especially on weekends and flower-festival days.
1 Overview
•
Real-name reservations are only enforced at Foshan Ancestral Temple (祖庙), Qinghui Garden (清晖园), Xiqiao Mountain Scenic Area (西樵山) and Sanshui Lotus World (荷花世界, summer only).
•
Mobile-first: every advance ticket is issued through a WeChat or Alipay mini-program; foreign numbers are accepted on 3 / 4 of the portals, but a local SIM makes SMS alerts easier.
•
Drop times: none of the sites open at midnight—release windows fall between 07 : 00 and 10 : 00, 3–7 days ahead. Golden-Week and May-Day slots vanish in minutes; ordinary weekends last hours.
2 Pre-Booking Essentials
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Passport scan | Upload the photo page for real-name QRs; no face scan required. |
| Mobile number / e-mail | Mainland SIM recommended; otherwise add an international number and request e-mail backup. |
| WeChat / Alipay | Link Visa / Mastercard after wallet KYC. |
| Clock sync | Match device to time.gov.cn (±1 s) before ticket drops—helps on holiday mornings. |

4 Booking Windows & Platforms
•
Ancestral Temple — choose the 13 : 30 slot if you want empty courtyard photos; morning tours cluster 09–11 h.
•
Xiqiao combo — ¥90 ticket bundles the summit cable car; QR rescans at the Buddhist giant-Guanyin entrance.
•
Lotus World — flower peak mid-Jul; rainy days halve crowds but boardwalks get slippery—pack non-skid shoes.
•
Garden drones — forbidden at Qinghui; guards fine ¥500 on the spot.

•
100 % refund ≥ 24 h before slot • 50 % 4–24 h • No refund < 4 h.

7 Pro Tips
1
Set 06 : 57 alarm for Ancestral-Temple drops on Saturdays; copy passport number to clipboard.
2
Pair your trip — do Ancestral Temple (morning), Nanfeng Kiln (late-pm), then Guandi Temple night-lights in one loop.
3
E-bike to Xiqiao — rent Meituan e-scooter at "西樵山脚站"; battery swap kiosks on half-way lookout.
4
Backup weather — Lotus World offers free date change when rain probability > 70 %; tap the "改期" button in app by 22 h the previous day.
5
Screenshot your QRs — hill flanks and lotus boardwalks have patchy cell signal after storms.
