Methodology
Prices are verified monthly against each attraction’s official ticketing page (Palace Museum, Mutianyu ticket office, Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum). Where the official page lists CNY only, we record CNY. Where multiple ticket classes exist (peak/off-peak, adult/student), each is a separate entry with its own season tag. Currency conversions to USD/EUR are deliberately omitted to keep every figure attributable to a single primary source.
