Passes

On Wednesdays, the first 200 visitors to many of the city’s museums are admitted free of charge, or you can buy a Beijing Museum Pass, which offers discounts to most of the big museums and cultural sights, available from China Post offices. If you plan to travel by bus, buying a rechargeable "Superpass" travel card will get you discounts on bus journeys all over the city.
