Booking with a foreign passport
China's big sights sell real-name tickets: you enter your passport number when you book, and the passport itself is your ticket at the gate. Each person in your group needs their own reservation. Mini programs inside WeChat or Alipay usually accept foreign passports; if one refuses yours, try the official website, or ask your hotel to book for you.
