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.
