Common issues

Tickets can sell out.
Some venues require real-name advance reservations.
Name or passport mismatch can block entry.
QR codes and booking screens may need internet or app access.

Identify high-demand sights

Treat major attractions like Forbidden City, Great Wall routes, and Terracotta Warriors as planning anchors, not flexible add-ons.

Check passport-name rules

Use the same document details across booking and entry checks.

Save confirmations offline

Do not rely only on live app access at the gate.

Plan a backup sight

Every city day should have a slower backup if tickets, weather, or energy fail.
