How to book
The official page confirms the park but does not confirm one current booking channel for the park, snow venues, and pavilions together.
No single official advance window is published for the entire park.
Booking steps
- 1
Check the official Sun Island notice for the date and for any seasonal pavilion operating status.
- 2
At the gate, identify whether you are entering the public park or a separately ticketed attraction.
- 3
Ask staff whether the passport can be used for any paid pavilion or timed reservation.
The cited page does not state passport support or Chinese-phone requirements for the park or its seasonal venues.
If a pavilion's route is not confirmed, use the public park area and the latest official seasonal notice instead.
