TL;DR
During low season you can safely buy tickets right at the box office — there are barely any queues. If booking ahead, use the official attraction website or trip.com; third-party guide/tour sites usually charge more.
Compare prices across a few sites before booking through independent guides or tour agents — they're usually more expensive than booking direct.
Buying directly on the official website definitely works. Tourist numbers are low right now, so there's no need to book ahead — you can buy quickly at the box office with no queue.
You can also pre-book tickets on trip.com, but it's unclear exactly how the price compares to buying at the box office on-site — worth double-checking before purchase.
