Before you leave

Booking in China has a few extra steps.

Even an official venue may use a WeChat mini program rather than a conventional checkout page. Some government-operated parks provide alternative assistance for international visitors.

Research in this guide reflects published policies checked 2026-11-10. Confirm the current rule with the operator before making nonrefundable plans.

01

Choose the official channel

Start with the operator or government information page. Avoid treating a tour advertisement as the attraction's own admission portal.

02

Match identity details

Passport name and number can be required for real-name tickets. Bring the original document you used when reserving.

03

Check the exact product

Park entry, special galleries, transfers and premium passes may be different products. Validate the date and included services.

04

Save the real confirmation

This site does not issue tickets, accept payments or guarantee entry. Keep the official order confirmation and the operator's arrival directions.

Important for international visitors

A foreign phone number may not work everywhere.

Beijing's official municipal help desk reports that online identity binding for some park ticket systems may require a mainland Chinese mobile number. The Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven also have published options for staff-assisted purchases at their gate service windows; that is not a promise of admission on a particular day.

Questions answered

Find the right ticket—not just another search result.

Are you an authorized ticket seller?

No. China Attraction Tickets is operated by the ChinaTravelChina team. We provide research and direct visitors to published official channels or disclosed, specifically authorized alternatives. We do not currently sell tickets.

Can I use a passport?

Many major venues accept passports, but each has its own real-name purchase requirements. The attraction cards summarize what the operator publishes; verify your exact document at checkout.

Are same-day tickets available?

Don't assume so. The Palace Museum states that it does not sell same-day entry. Other sites have different reservation and walk-up rules; our labels are not live stock indicators.

Do all attractions work through Trip.com?

No. Some operators specify their own official website or WeChat service, while others publish lists of authorized partners. We won't recommend a third-party ticket without support from the operator's guidance.
