The visit starts before the gate

Popular attractions may use timed entry, passport checks, real-name booking, security screening, or app-based ticket pickup. Prepare the boring details early.

Before you go

  • Confirm opening day and entry window.
  • Check whether passport details are required for booking.
  • Save the Chinese attraction name and address.
  • Plan the last transit leg and return route.
  • Carry passport or a copy if the attraction requires identity verification.
