Are admission tickets to Shanghai's Yu Garden required to be reserved in advance?

Foreign visitors are required to make online real-name time-slot reservations in advance via the "Shanghai Yu Garden" official mini-program, Ctrip, Meituan, or other cooperating platforms. Select either the morning session (9:00–12:30) or the afternoon session (12:30–16:00), and provide passport information when purchasing tickets. After successful reservation, bring the original passport for verification at the entrance. Those without a reservation may be denied entry.
