Popular sights like the Forbidden City and museums often sell out and require real-name booking. Here's how to secure your tickets with a passport.
The Forbidden City, National Museum, and many top sights require advance reservation. Always check before you go.
Use the official WeChat mini-program, the ChinaGo ticket page, or Trip.com/Klook. Choose "Passport" as the ID type and enter your passport number.
Show your passport at the entrance. Your passport number is matched to your booking — you usually do not need a separate ticket.
Some sights only accept mainland ID cards. In that case, try an English-language platform, contact the sight directly, or choose an alternative attraction.
Yes, via the official platform or English travel sites, using a passport.
No. Most attractions accept foreign passports for booking and entry.
Book several days ahead for popular sights, or check for cancellations.
