🎫 Tickets Booking · Tianjin
Last verified 26 Jul 2025
Grab museum slots, skyline-wheel capsules and cliff-Great-Wall passes without scrambling at the gate.
1 Overview
•
Real-name reservations are compulsory for Tianjin's three headline museums—National Maritime Museum, Natural History Museum and Binhai Science & Technology Museum—plus the Tianjin Eye night capsules and the Huangyaguan Great-Wall day-trip.
•
All tickets live in WeChat / Alipay mini-programs or Dianping/Trip; foreign numbers now work on every platform, though a mainland SIM gives surer SMS alerts.
•
Drop times are precise: the Maritime Museum opens at 08:00 seven days ahead, Natural History at 09:00 seven days ahead, and Science Museum at 10:00. Peak-holiday windows vanish in minutes.
2 Pre-Booking Essentials
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Passport scan | Upload photo page (and visa if asked) for every real-name ticket. |
| Mobile number | Mainland SIM helps; foreign number or e-mail fallback works on all five sites. |
| WeChat / Alipay | Link Visa / Mastercard after wallet KYC (passport + selfie). |
| Clock sync | Match device to time.gov.cn (± 1 s) right before a drop. |
