Palace Museum reopens with daily cap of 5,000 visitors

After closing for 97 days to contain COVID-19, the Palace Museum in Beijing, also known as the Forbidden City, resumed the reception of visitors on Friday.

To control the flow of people, only 5,000 visitors who booked entry tickets online in advance are allowed in. And only outdoor spaces in the compound are so far available for public visits.

Visitors must have their body temperature checked and scan a QR code to signify their health status prior to entering the UNESCO World Heritage site, also China's formal imperial palace.
