Multiple entries to most of the tourist spots listed are free, while some of the places offer free single entry and certain discounts.
An entrance fee of more than 50 yuan is required for more than 200 free-entrance places on the list; many widely visited tourist spots, like the Badaling Great Wall and the Ming Tombs, do not impose any fees for single or multiple entries.
