北京故宮博物院考慮用線上購票代替傳統購票

The Palace Museum in Beijing is considering having all its visitors book online instead of buying tickets at the gates.

北京故宮博物院正在考慮用網上購票系統取代傳統景點窗口購票的方式

Shan Jixiang, chief curator, mentioned the plan when reviewing administrative experience gained during the National Day holiday.

故宮博物院院長單霽翔，通過總結和回顧國慶假期的管理經驗中，提出了這個計劃設想

Administrators set the cap of daily visitors at 80,000 during the week-long holiday starting from October 1. Shan said most had booked their trips online in advance, which encourages digital ticketing in future.

從10月1日開始的黃金週假期，故宮管理方面規定，每天遊覽的訪問人數上限爲8萬人。單霽翔表示，多數遊客提前預定了他們的行程，這給未來的電子票務時代帶來了促進作用

However, the idea has failed to win unanimous support. A Miss Gao, in her 20s, welcomes the effort- and time-saving measure, though some others say the plan lacks consideration for those not tech-savvy enough or without access to computers.

20歲的高女士表示，她樂於接受這項節省時間的措施。然而，這個提議未能贏得所有人一致的支持。一些遊客就表示，這項措施並沒有考慮到那些對高科技不太瞭解、或者是無法使用電腦的人們的需求和感受。

Liu Simin, Deputy Secretary-General of Beijing Tourism Association, says the plan could boost digital tourism, though it's still too early to cut offline ticketing services.

北京旅遊學會副祕書長劉思敏對此表示，這個想法雖然可以加速數碼旅遊時代的到來，但對於取消線下售票來說還是爲時過早。
