How Do Foreigners Reserve Unit 731 Museum Tickets?

The museum is free, but you must book ahead. Our Unit 731 page: real-name timed reservation 1–7 days ahead on the museum’s WeChat account or the 畅游哈尔滨 mini-program.

Why booking matters

This is a sensitive history museum in Pingfang, Harbin. Capacity is managed with timed free tickets, not walk-up for most visitors.

Foreign visitors still go through the same WeChat / Harbin mini-program path described on our page — there is no separate English official booking site listed there.

How to reserve

  1. Reserve 1–7 days ahead on the museum WeChat account (menu “贴心服务 — 参观预约”) or 畅游哈尔滨.
  2. Metro Line 1 to Xinjiang Dajie, Exit 2, then about 300 m east (23 Xinjiang Street, Pingfang District).
  3. Bring the same passport/ID used in the booking; allow time for both the new hall and the original headquarters site (different last-entry times).
