It contains over 9,000 rooms and is the largest well-preserved royal palace in the world. This ticket booking service secures your entrance to key areas including the Hall of Central Harmony (Zhonghe Dian), Palace of Earthly Tranquility (Kunning Gong), Palace of Heavenly Purity (Qianqing Gong), Hall of Preserved Harmony (Baohe Dian), and the Imperial Garden. Admission is free for children under 6 with passport shown onsite. The tickets are booked using your passport details and entry is by scanning your passport at the Meridian Gate (Wu Men), so you do not need to carry a paper ticket. This booking is for tickets only; guide and transportation services are not included. The visit can last between two to four hours depending on your pace. The ticket is valid only on the reserved date and time slot. Visitors from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan must book with their Mainland Travel Permit and select the correct ID type. Chinese citizens should book tickets independently through the official mini-program. After entering through the Meridian Gate, visitors may exit via Shenwu Gate near Jingshan Park or Donghua Gate near Wangfujing Street. If you select the ticket-only option, you must arrive at the Meridian Gate without a meeting point or assistance.
