Imported official reservation note
Single tickets are real-name with time slots: morning session 08:00–13:00 and afternoon session 13:00–17:00 for ticket-check entry—other times can't be checked in; each person buys one per day, and the order only takes effect when the purchaser enters. Official site/WeChat purchase requires a mainland China phone number (for the e-voucher), name and ID number; no ticket exchange and no temporary IDs. Foreign passports can't use this real-name online flow—they must be handled at the on-site manual window (the exact process isn't officially documented).

Foreigner notes
Unknown. The official online purchase flow explicitly requires a mainland ID number + phone number, and no official statement supports foreign-passport online purchase; likely a manual on-site window is needed with a passport, but there's no written basis—listed in uncertainties.
Official online booking mandates a phone number (also used for the e-voucher); foreign tourists without a mainland China number can't complete real-name online purchase.
Official channels use WeChat scan-to-buy and official-site online payment; cash and international-card support isn't officially stated (unverified).
The official site has an 'En' entry but it returns 404 with no usable English content; English signage and audio guides are unknown.
Search 三亚南山文化旅游区 with its address rather than relying on a city-level result; the entrance is the useful destination.

- Official online ticket purchase requires a mainland ID number; no official written process exists for foreign-passport purchase and entry. — Before travelling, call the scenic-area ticket line 0898-88837873 or ask at the visitor centre about passport ticketing.
- The ticket notice's check-in window (8:00–17:00) conflicts with the transport page's business hours (8:30–17:00). — Follow the ticket notice, and call before travelling to confirm that day's opening hours.
- The booking page shows ¥129 conflicting with the ¥108 off-season price; the page seems not to update with the seasons. — Buy at the settlement page's actual price, or call 0898-88837873.
- The English site link returns 404; English tours/signage status unknown. — Ask at the on-site visitor centre whether English audio guides or maps are available.
