  A maximum of 80,000 tickets will be available each day during the upcoming seven-day National Day holiday (from Oct. 1 to Oct. 7) next month, with half of the tickets available online and the other half sold on site, according to its website.

  
  

   

  
  

  During last year’s National Day holiday, the Palace Museum averaged 90,000 visitors per day, far exceeding its 60,000 visitor limit. Measures to limit visitors have been urged in order to protect cultural relics and historic buildings, according to the museum.

  
  

   

  
  

  Tickets can be booked online five days in advance.

  
  

   

  
  

  The Palace Museum, founded in 1925, is in the Forbidden City, which served as the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). For travelers, it is a must-to-visit site on their Beijing tour itinerary.
