What you are buying
The ticket is a service that makes the required reservation for you. The day before your date, the local team sends the official ticket in Chinese by email or WhatsApp. Bring the original passport used for the booking.
Arrive 15 minutes early, and expect a security check that the listing says can last more than an hour. It is quieter before 8 am and at lunch and dinner time.
Be realistic about the score
At 6.9, this is the lowest rated Beijing ticket here. A free visit exists for children under 7 with a passport, and the reservation is personal and cannot be transferred. Free cancellation is listed up to 24 hours before.
