Don't Make This Mistake When Visiting the Palace Museum (故宫)!

If you're planning a trip to Beijing, a visit to the iconic Palace Museum (also known as the Forbidden City) is a must. But here’s a crucial tip: don’t wait until the last minute to book your ticket.

RedNote users often recommend booking tickets through WeChat, ideally one week in advance. However, the platform is highly competitive — tickets drop at exactly 8:00 PM and often sell out within minutes. On top of that, the booking page frequently lags or crashes due to high traffic, making it nearly impossible to secure a spot.

But don’t worry — there’s an alternative! Simply Google “The Palace Museum” and head to the official website to book your tickets directly through their platform. It's more reliable and less prone to technical issues.

Tickets are released 7 days in advance (e.g., tickets for June 29 become available on June 22).
New tickets drop each night at 8:00 PM
