  This is a very effective way to book entry to the National Museum of China at the last minute. Excellent communication with the agency that organizes the tour.

  An incredible museum - by far the biggest and most impressive I’ve ever seen probably including London. Most importantly, it’s very difficult to get your own tickets for this museum so let Viator do it for you.

• Essential for last minute decisions

  Entrance to the National Museum of China is free. So, theoretically, the service of an agency would not be necessary. But it's pretty hard to get a last minute entry. Maybe impossible. I was in Beijing and decided to visit the Museum from day to day and this option from Viator was perfect! I have used the service of this agency many times and I trust it very much. I am very grateful for the existence of this Viator package. Without it I would not have visited this wonderful museum!

• Well worth a visit

  Tickets hard to get for this museum but Viator got them no problem. Wonderful exhibits . Over 1 million. Concentrated on the basement for Chinese history. Well displayed, some English labels. Museum open and airy. Used disabled toilets as i can't use squat ones but i think western ones were available. Very busy but so vast so, not crowded. As always take passport. Entry to Tianemen square included in ticket. Lifts and escalators available as well as steps. No cafe open during our morning visit, drinks and snacks from a vending machine. Many people seemed to take their own. Good gift shops. Plenty of seating for tired legs. Well worth a visit.

• A must see museum for Chinese art and culture

  A monumental museum about Chinese art and culture. From the Paleolithic period, through ancient China to Chinese Socialist Realism, you can see the treasures in bronze, ceramics, porcelain, enamel, painting, jade... A great panorama that helps to understand the history and high Chinese art. It is possible to rent an audio guide in English for the part of ancient China and there are exhibitions with texts in English. The entrance to the museum is free but I couldn't get the ticket through the museum's website, so I did it by Viator for a fairly affordable price. It is essential to carry a passport!

  

• To go or not to go? National Museum of China

  Subway line 1 to get there. Huge lines to clear security just after subway ticket validation gate and also entering museum. Allocate at least 1 hour before entry time limit or you may not get in. eg 11am ticket means deadline to enter museum is 11am but you may enter fr 9 to 11am. Wearing a mask (with a few drops of peppermint oil?) may be more comfortable for toilet visits and viewing exhibits with endless crowds. I did not use English audio guide available at entry as helper says info is for 30 major pieces only. There will be a long queue inside 1 of the exhibit halls on top level to view the coronet of 1 of the empress. Overall one must remember these are leftovers of great historical pieces not looted, or stolen by centuries of foreign invasion, poverty, dishonesty etc. Or not destroyed during the cultural revolution. Exhibits were mainly stones, copper, bronze left behind by Chiang Kai Shek fleeing to Taiwan who btw took the most valuable and "worthwhile" treasures.

  Entry to the museum went smoothly and the museum itself was really interesting. We bought the audio tour which was packed full of info about Ancient China. Entry from the museum to Tiananmen Square was really easy.

  Excellent guide. A must see visit when in Beijing.

• It is a difficult spot to get tickets even for Chinese people, and foreigners are recommended!

  Ticket reservations are procedurally difficult for foreigners, and even for Chinese people, it seems difficult to book at popular spots. It was a bit later than the time you wanted, but I am glad you managed to secure a ticket and used this service.
