you can enter using the QRs but as for someone who wants all the souvenirs she can get, hope there was an option to exchange it for a ticket.. we went there when there was a typhoon. foggy on the sky terrace, no view at all but still fulfilling to reach that high up. tip: ride on the right side going up for a view!

Buying tickets at Klook first will be cheaper than buying tickets on-site, and you can also avoid the queue of ticket buyers (there are many people buying tickets on-site). Avoid the evening and the crowds will be much less.

It is very convenient to book high-speed rail tickets on Klook, and there are discounts on Double 11. It is recommended to book tickets in advance for the return trip. I will buy them again next time.
