This ticket gives you easy entry with just your passport to the Forbidden City (Palace Museum) and Tiananmen Square, two of Beijing's most iconic sights. Explore the Palace Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and see the landmark buildings around Tiananmen Square, a symbol of China. Tickets are booked with your passport details instead of a physical ticket, so there's no need to queue at the ticket office. Choose the combination that fits your plans: Tiananmen Square only, the Forbidden City only, both together, or with the Treasure Gallery or interior galleries.

Tickets are booked with your passport details, such as your name, passport number and ID type. No physical ticket or QR code is needed; entry is linked directly to your passport, so simply show your original passport on site. You explore on your own at your own pace without a guide.

Choose from Tiananmen Square reservation only, Forbidden City ticket only, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City together, the Forbidden City with the Treasure Gallery, or Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City including 2 interior galleries. Entry to Tiananmen Square is free but requires a reservation one day in advance, so the reservation-only option includes the booking service only.

Forbidden City entry slots are morning 08:30–12:00 and afternoon 11:00–16:00 (11:00–15:30 from November to March). These are not fixed times; you can enter at any time within your booked slot.
※ Security checks at Tiananmen Square usually take over 1 hour. If you're visiting the Forbidden City afterwards, please arrive early.
※ Some halls and rooms in the Forbidden City may be closed for regular maintenance.
