How a foreign visitor actually books it
Free but real-name reservation; book online with your passport, or check for same-day slots at the door. The serious museum of Quanzhou's Maritime Silk Road trade - ships, navigation, the foreign religions that arrived by sea.
What else to know
Free and genuinely good if you want the actual history behind the 'Maritime Silk Road' branding. The museum's own site is qzhjg.cn and the real-name reservation runs through the '海丝旅游荟' / museum WeChat account; reserve there or have your hotel do it. Closed Mondays as a rule - check before you go.
If the official channel does not work
Do not assume an unrecorded booking route is available. Recheck the operator’s current instructions; where the interface itself is the obstacle, the practical mechanics are in buying tickets the official way and booking without WeChat.
