Do I need to book Jiuxiang Scenic Area in advance?
Advance booking is recommended but not stated as a mandatory real-name requirement: one guide advises reserving ahead on Ctrip/Trip.com because on-site queues are possible, and travel-agency pages say tickets must be booked at least 1 day ahead by 23:00, then collected at the scenic-area ticket office with the confirmation SMS; day tours including transport and tickets can be booked on Trip.com. Nothing on these pages states that foreigners must present a passport.
