A total of 11 municipal parks in Beijing, including the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven Park, have joined the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Scenic Area Joint Ticket System, which now has more than 240 participating tourist attractions. This marks a significant improvement in both the number of the entities covered by the cultural and tourism collaboration initiative of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, as well as in the quality of the resources included.

These new additions offer visitors a wider selection of high-quality, iconic tourist attractions in Beijing.

In addition to the 11 municipal parks in Beijing, four distinctive scenic areas from Tianjin, including the Dagukou Fort Ruins Museum, and Shi Family's Courtyard in Yangliuqing, as well as 15 well-known cultural tourism locations from Hebei Province, such as Shanhai Pass (hailed as the "Greatest Pass Under Heaven"), and Changshou Mountain, are also covered by the joint ticket system now.

The "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Joint Ticket" (京津冀联票) WeChat mini-program provides visitors with a one-stop service covering the entire ticketing process, including information inquiry, ticket purchase, activation and binding, benefit selection, reservation and code retrieval, and code scanning for admission.
