Hi. Understand free 8,000 tickets are disctributed daily; is this available to foreigners too ? If so, is it relatively easy to get them and do we simply head to the main entrance/ticket office for the free tickets ? Also, does anyone knwow if the museum provides free guided tours (Chinese or English) ? What is the schedule ? Thanks.

I emailed my Chinese tour guide Jonathan G. from Viking River and he said you can't bring the large suitcase in but they will hold it for you. Go to the back entrance facing the highway NOT the people's square entrance and look for the wheelchair rental service area. They can usually do the luggage hold or tell you who to ask.

The main gift shop is wonderful. We bought a number of high quality items and regret we did not buy more. There are some items you can buy on each floor but these areas are very crowded. I am glad we waited to buy in the main gift store. One other hint. There is a separate entrance for those over 65 to get into the museum. We are glad we used it. The museum is awesome and we were so glad we spent the time to go there
