Good to know

Do I need to book tickets in advance?

Top sites (Forbidden City, Badaling Great Wall) use timed-entry and sell out in peak season — book 1–3 days ahead. Most 3A/4A areas sell tickets at the gate.

Passport note

Bring your passport: entrances at national scenic areas may check ID, and some issue foreign-visitor tickets at a manual window rather than the machines.

How do I get there?

Show the Chinese name on the taxi card to your driver, or scan the QR — it opens turn-by-turn navigation in Amap.
