The National Museum, the Palace Museum, the National Art Museum of China, the Beijing Planetarium and other museums are closed on Mondays. The Imperial College is also closed on Mondays, and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the Temple of Heaven is closed on Mondays

Suggestion 02: Go to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag raising. It is recommended to search for "Tiananmen Square Appointment Visit" 1-9 days in advance XC To make an appointment to visit, select a date, raise the flag, and submit an appointment.

Bring your ID card with you when you go, try not to carry bags (security check is very slow) and don’t drive (you need to park far away)

Suggestion 03: You need to buy a combined ticket to enter the East Gate of the Old Summer Palace before it was burned down Western-style Tower Ruins

Suggestion 04: You don’t need to buy a combined ticket for the Summer Palace. It’s too big to finish the tour. Just visit some of the highlights.

Suggestion 05: It is recommended to buy a combined ticket for the Temple of Heaven. Otherwise, you won’t be able to enter the highlight of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests

Suggestion 06: There are many special exhibitions in the Forbidden City, which require additional charges. Each museum charges 10 yuan. We recommend the Clock Museum and Treasures Museum. Many historical relics are here.

Suggestion 07: Prepare some dry food and water before going to the scenic spots. The food in the scenic spots is quite expensive. If you don’t buy it, you can’t afford it. If you do, you will feel heartbroken.

Suggestion 08: National Museum It is prohibited to eat, drink or bring food inside

Suggestion 09: The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest in Temple of Heaven Park is closed at 16:00 and closes at 17:30. It will not open on Monday the 13th which is not a holiday. Please check the time before going. Oh

< p>Suggestion 16: Ji Xiaolan’s former residence, I really want to complain about this, less than 10% of the things are related to Ji Xiao, there is really nothing interesting
