Prince Gong's Mansion Travel FAQ

Are credit cards widely accepted, or should I only use cash?
Carry both. Major shops and the official mansion store will accept international credit cards (Visa/Mastercard). Smaller hutong vendors overwhelmingly prefer cash (Chinese Yuan) or Chinese digital payment apps (Alipay/WeChat Pay). Having cash gives you more flexibility and bargaining power in the alleys.
