Short answer: Book Xi’an Stele Forest / Beilin Museum on the official ticket site pcticket.xablbwg.cn (or WeChat 碑林博物馆). Enter your passport. Full price CNY 85 / concession CNY 42. Hours from 8 Oct 2026: 09:00–18:30 with sales and entry checks stopping at 17:00. Closed Mondays except public holidays. Login needs Chinese SMS or WeChat — ask hotel help. Old beilin-museum.com booking links are unreliable; use the pcticket booker. No Trip admission CTA — Official-only.
How foreigners book
- Open pcticket.xablbwg.cn (or WeChat 碑林博物馆).
- Sign in with Chinese mobile SMS or WeChat QR — ask your hotel if you have neither.
- Pick a date/slot on the live calendar (often up to about a week ahead; some notices say 5 days — trust the booker).
- Enter passport name/number exactly; pay CNY 85 (or concession if eligible).
- Arrive before 17:00 sales/entry cutoff with the same passport. Closed Mondays except public holidays.
What you are buying
- Museum admission — full CNY 85 / concession CNY 42 (2026 notices).
- Not a Trip scenic SKU — we do not present Trip.com as an authorized admission channel for Beilin.
- Stone sculpture halls are inside the paid museum; Shuyuanmen street outside is free to walk.
Getting there & timing
- Metro Line 2 to Yongningmen, then walk east inside the south wall along Sanxue Street (~15 min) to 15 Sanxue Street.
- Allow 2–3 hours; Tang horse reliefs and Buddhist sculptures are easy to miss if you only skim the stele galleries.
- Same-day Xi’an plan: Terracotta Warriors · City Wall · Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Pitfalls: Using dead beilin-museum.com booking paths; assuming walk-up; arriving after 17:00 cutoff; Monday closure; trusting outdated CNY 10 prices; inventing a Trip admission product.
