Practical guide
BEIJING PASS: buy it with your passport
Use a designated airport, rail-transit or Yikatong point and keep the card’s loss rules in mind.
Beijing’s municipal transport guidance says foreign visitors can buy BEIJING PASS at designated self-service machines and staffed counters at Beijing Capital and Daxing airports, Beijing rail transit and Yikatong self-operated offices in Dongzhimen and Xidan. Bring valid ID such as a passport. The source says the card itself is non-refundable and cannot be reported lost, while its deposit can be refunded but cannot be recovered after loss; confirm current sales, refund and top-up arrangements before travel.
A clear next step
- Bring the valid passport or other identity document used for purchase.
- Use a designated airport, rail-transit or Yikatong point rather than assuming every location sells the card.
- Keep the card secure and check the live official channel for current top-up and refund arrangements.
