Last verified 30 Jun 2025
Your essential guide to booking Shenzhen's top attractions—from theme-park resorts to coastal escapes—covering IDs, lead times, platforms and insider tactics.
1 Overview
•
Real-name booking is mandatory for most high-demand sites (OCT East, Window of the World, Happy Valley, Safari Park, Mission Hills).
•
Mobile-first: Tickets sold via WeChat/Meituan mini-programs or official apps—international cards generally work once linked.
•
Peak windows: Theme-park and golf-resort slots open weeks to months ahead and often sell out in minutes.
2 Pre-Booking Essentials
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Passport scan | Upload your passport (and visa page if required) for real-name verification. |
| Mobile number | A local number is recommended for SMS confirmations & QR check-ins; most platforms accept international numbers or email QR codes. |
| WeChat/Alipay | Link a domestic or international credit card—covers > 95% of purchases. |
| Time sync | Sync your device clock via time.gov.cn within ± 1s to nail release-window cut-offs. |
