Beijing · MUSEUMS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 4 museum visits justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Meet near the Bank of China Donganmen Branch for a guided visit to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Choose English or Spanish, a small group of 15 to 20, ticket-only entry, or a private tour with flexible timing and optional Royal Treasures Museum access.
“We had a great time with our tour guide Linda! The tour was very interesting 👍”
Visit Beijing’s Jingshan Park for its hilltop view over the Forbidden City, quiet imperial gardens, historic pavilions, and possible evening cultural shows. Your $6 ticket includes entry and an English PDF guide, but not a live guide or audio guide. Go early for cooler weather and fewer crowds.
“The ticket provider was very kind to text me all the info, i even asked for more help and he/she were more than happy to help me at any time, it was just excellent! I loved it”
Spend four hours with an English-speaking guide such as Mike, Cathy, William, Diana, or Herbie at Beijing’s National Museum. Hotel pickup, one-way taxi transfer, and museum ticket booking are included. Focus on ancient China, Buddhist art, jade, and key historical objects.
“Beijing Half Day: National Museum of China In-depth Tour with Subway Transfer Cathy my tour guide was outstanding from start to finish 😀 Her knowledge of Chinese history was exceptional and made my tour very enjoyable . I found Cathy to be very easy to get along with , more a friend than a tour guide . when my tour finished she arranged a taxi back to my hotel and even called the taxi to see if I got back to my hotel safely . I highly recommend this tour especially if you want to know more about Chinese culture and history .”
Spend about two hours at Beijing’s China National Film Museum, exploring 21 halls on Chinese film history, major directors, filmmaking, and a special exhibition. Your separate e-ticket QR code provides direct entry. Text is mainly in Mandarin, so bring translation help if needed.
“The exhibitions regarding the Chinese filmography history were very interesting. The entrance to the exhibition areas with the dinosaurs was awesome. The staff is very friendly and helpful.”
