At a glance
Full times, prices and rules
- Ticket release
- Plain admission is booked in the museum’s official WeChat (三星堆博物馆 → Services → Admission ticket reservation) with your passport. One 2026 guide says new dates open at 20:00 Beijing time, 5 days ahead; we haven’t confirmed this on an official page. Trip.com sells an admission + refreshment-break package with morning (08:30–12:00) or afternoon (12:00–18:00) slots as a paid fallback.
- Price
- Plain admission on the official WeChat is about CNY 72 for adults (traveller reports and 2025–2026 guides; not confirmed on an official page). Trip.com’s admission + refreshment-break package was about US$35.49 on 6 Oct 2026, with cancellation fees from 60%.
Official WeChat (三星堆博物馆)
Plain face-value admission (about CNY 72) is sold in the museum’s official WeChat: open the 三星堆博物馆 account → Services → Admission ticket reservation and choose Passport as the ID type. WeChat often asks for a Chinese mobile number for the SMS code; if you don’t have one, ask your hotel to help — the number is only for the code, and your passport is checked at the gate. The Trip.com tea-break package is a paid fallback, not the main way in.

Get past the SMS code
WeChat often asks for a Chinese mobile number for a verification code. No Chinese number? Ask your hotel (or a café) to receive the code for you — it’s only for the SMS; your passport is what’s checked at the gate.

Pay and save the confirmation
Screenshot the booking in case mobile data is patchy at the museum.

Enter with your passport
Bring the passport you booked with. The museum is in Guanghan, about an hour from Chengdu; admission ends at 18:00.
Key pitfalls
- WeChat often needs a Chinese mobile number for the SMS code — line up hotel help before your booking day.
- Trip.com “ticket” is often admission + tea break, not bare admission — read the product title.
- Cancellation fees on Trip.com package can start at 60%.
- Museum is in Guanghan (~1 hr from Chengdu), not downtown.
- Shuttle bus tickets do not include admission.
