Score sunrise temples, wetland reed-boats & Song-era stage fireworks—No Tourist Traps. No BS.
1 Overview
•
Real-name e-tickets are mandatory for Lingyin Temple + Feilai Peak, Hangzhou Songcheng theme park / night-show, Xixi National Wetland Park and West-Lake island ferries.
•
All sales run through WeChat/Alipay mini-programs or Dianping; every gate scans the ID-linked QR.
•
Hangzhou's drops are gentler than Beijing's, but Lingyin dawn and Songcheng night-show still vanish quickly on weekends & holidays.
2 Pre-Booking Essentials
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Passport scan | Upload photo page (plus visa if asked) for every real-name QR. |

| WeChat / Alipay | Finish wallet KYC, then link Visa/Mastercard. |
| Clock sync | Keep device within ±1 s of time.gov.cn for peak drops. |

7 Pro Tips
1
Lingyin sunrise – book earliest 07:00 slot & hike Feilai Peak caves first; temple halls open 08:00, crowds arrive 09+.
2
Songcheng seats – A-zone rows 5-8 align with flying-wire stunts; book exactly 09:00 eight days ahead for Sat shows.
3
Xixi mosquito hack – spray before 17:00 boat; wetlands get buggy after sunset.
4
Three-Pools island – reserve 15:30 boat for golden-hour pagoda lens & fewer megaphone tours.
5
Umbrella protocol – Hangzhou showers pop at 16:00 in June–Aug; tuck a ¥10 disposable in day-pack.
