The Palace Museum in Beijing has taken a series of measures to increase ticket availability for individual visitors.
The Palace Museum, one of the most popular tourist sites in the Chinese capital, has increased its daily ticket quota by 25 percent from the current 40,000 tickets to ease ticketing pressure during the peak summer season, and the same measure will be applied to other peak periods, said Su Yi, head of the museum’s Digital and Information Department.
Tickets are now distributed in batches over longer periods starting at 8 p.m., instead of being distributed all at once, Ms. Su added.
Museums are enjoying increasing popularity, especially during holidays, as more people become interested in traditional Chinese culture.
