How do foreign visitors book the Forbidden City?
Open the Palace Museum’s English visitor page and follow its official ticket link. Use the name and passport number from the passport you will bring. Keep the booking confirmation handy and take the original passport to the Meridian Gate, the museum’s south entrance. The museum usually closes on Mondays. Check its calendar for holiday openings and other changes, and book before your visit.
How do you book Mutianyu Great Wall tickets?
Use Mutianyu’s official English ticket page and read the visitor notice for identity checks and entry instructions. The scenic area accepts passport details for named tickets. Check whether the option you choose covers admission, the local shuttle, a cable car or a chairlift and slide. The cable car and the chairlift and slide are separate operators, so check your return route when choosing a round trip.
What should you check before paying?
Confirm the exact attraction, date, entry window, passport spelling and cancellation rules. For a wall trip, check transportation from your hotel separately from rides inside the scenic area. Save your confirmation where you can read it without a mobile signal.
