How a foreign visitor actually books it

Reached on the same museum reservation; the older First and Second Exhibition Halls sit in the same parkland as the new hall. Confirm at booking whether your ticket covers the older halls and the broader site park, since the layout has changed since the new building opened.

What else to know

officialBookingUrl sxd.cn (official). The museum opened in October 1997 with two halls — the First Exhibition Hall (gold, bronze, jade, stone, pottery) and the Second Exhibition Hall (bronze) — set in a large landscaped park of around 33 hectares beside the Duck River, on the northeast edge of the actual Sanxingdui ruins. Since the 2023 new hall, much of the headline collection has moved into the new building; the older halls and the green site park are still worth the walk if you want the fuller picture and fewer crowds. Prices null — reconfirm at booking whether old and new halls are one ticket.

If the official channel does not work

The two reliable fallbacks are your hotel front desk, which books these through domestic apps every day, and the on-site manual window where one still exists. What does not work is buying from someone who approaches you or from a marketplace listing: entry is real-name, so a ticket registered to another person’s ID will not admit you. The mechanics are in buying tickets the official way and booking without WeChat.
