Tickets and booking
Admission is a single ticket covering both the permanent exhibition and special exhibitions. Posted prices: 70 RMB for adults, 35 RMB for children/students (Tuesday–Sunday schedule). Key caveat for foreign passport holders: the pack’s tips state that half-price tickets, concession tickets, discount cards and the free-entry policy (including for Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan residents) do not apply to foreign tourists — so work with 70 RMB as the adult figure and confirm any child/student rate on site.
The posted free-entry categories — seniors aged 60 and over, disabled visitors, active military, police officers, martyrs’ families, and children aged 6 or under (or 1.3 m or shorter) accompanied by a guardian — fall under that same exclusion. Journalists with a press card issued by the National Press and Publication Administration receive 10% off. School groups of 15 or more students can arrange free entry 7 working days in advance via the museum’s official WeChat account (not processed on statutory holidays). The pack lists no general online-booking channel for individual visitors; for current status and ticketing, call 028-87303522 or 028-87303573. All prices are subject to same-day disclosure by the museum.
Entrance and routes
The museum’s address is No. 2 Jinsha Site Road, Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan. The only arrival point named in the pack is the Jinsha Site East Gate bus stop — served by routes 82, 83 and 100 — with a walk of roughly 280 metres to the museum, making the east-gate side the practical approach when using the listed bus routes. The pack contains no other gate, security-check or internal-routing details. Because the source listing is flagged ‘temporarily not open’, confirm entry arrangements by phone (028-87303522 / 028-87303573) before travelling.
Photo spots
The pack includes no photography data for this site: no named viewpoints, no listed exhibits to shoot, and no stated rules on flash, tripods or equipment. The visit is structured around a permanent exhibition plus special exhibitions, both covered by one ticket, so photo opportunities will be gallery-based, with any restrictions posted by the museum on site. Build your shot list after arrival rather than from this guide — there is no verified photo information to plan from.
Timing and crowds
First, a status check: the listing (last verified 2 October 2026) is flagged ‘temporarily not open’, so call 028-87303522 or 028-87303573 to confirm reopening before you go.
Posted hours: 09:00–18:00, extending to 08:30–18:30 during the National Day holiday, for the period 1 September–4 December; 5–31 December is listed as closed to the public. The museum closes on Mondays, except during statutory holidays and in January, February, July and August. The listing also carries an 08:00–12:00 line dated for the whole year, which conflicts with the main hours — one more reason to confirm by phone. On crowds, the pack notes a single mechanism: on International Museum Day, admission with ID is free but entry may be throttled according to visitor flow. No queue-length or peak-hour data is provided.
Walking and effort
This is a museum visit, not a hike. The pack lists no trails, distances or elevation within the site; the only quantified walking is the roughly 280 metres from the Jinsha Site East Gate bus stop to the entrance. Set expectations by the suggested duration of 1–3 hours, which covers the permanent and special exhibitions on a single ticket. No strenuous terrain is indicated anywhere in the data.
Getting there
By bus: routes 82, 83 or 100 to the Jinsha Site East Gate stop, then about 280 metres on foot. That is the only transit routing in the pack — no metro, taxi-fare or driving information is listed. The destination address, useful for a taxi or ride-hail drop-off, is No. 2 Jinsha Site Road, Qingyang District, Chengdu. Bus fares are not given in the data.
Cost breakdown
Admission is the only priced item in the pack: 70 RMB for adults, 35 RMB for children/students, one ticket covering the permanent and special exhibitions. For foreign passport holders, assume the full 70 RMB adult rate, since the concession and free-admission policies are explicitly not applicable to foreign tourists. No other costs are quantified — bus fares, audio guides, parking and food are absent from the data. The entire verified cost of a 1–3 hour visit is therefore the ticket itself.
