Visitors flock to Palace Museum

For those hoping to stop by key tourist attractions in the capital during Spring Festival holidays, admittance is not a given due to limited space within popular facilities.

As the holiday began, some were surprised to find that tickets to Beijing's Palace Museum had been sold out until Sunday, and they simply had to find other ways to enjoy their time off.

A quota restricting visitor numbers has been in place by the museum since June 2015 to help with crowd control.
