Booking tip: Most Chinese museums require advance booking via WeChat mini-programs. You'll need your passport number. Popular museums (Palace Museum, Shaanxi History Museum) sell out days ahead — book as early as possible. If you don't have WeChat, some museums allow on-site ticket purchase with a passport, but availability is not guaranteed.
