4 Booking Windows & Platforms
•
Day + Night combo: Pay ¥150 once, exit for dinner, re-enter for 19:30 lake hologram; QR auto-re-scans.
•
Chrysanthemum QR tips: Pass is park-agnostic—scan at any gate; valid 08:00–21:30.
•
Court-drama seats: Free standing areas OK, but ¥30 seated grandstand worth it for shaded view—book "A区看台".
•
Iron Pagoda calm: Buy ticket on arrival (¥45); e-ticket gate rarely queues before 10:00.

7 Pro Tips
1
Night-show rail – Queue at B-zone dock 40 min early—stand rail = unobstructed view, no ¥60 seat surcharge.
2
Drop-time alarm – Set 08:59 the day your Qing-ming target opens; desktop + phone on same Wi-Fi boosts success rate.
3
Off-peak Iron Pagoda – Visit 08:30 for empty spiral climb; golden-brick photos by 16:30.
4
QR offline? Screenshot every ticket; Gulou stalls and lake shores have patchy data after rain.
