What should I do if I don’t bring my ID card to Pingyao Ancient City?

If you find yourself without your ID card on the way to Pingyao Ancient City, here are some possible solutions:

1. Seek other documents: When purchasing your ticket, you can Use social security card, driver's license, ID card copy, household register and other documents that can reflect the ID number. When picking up your tickets, you can provide these documents directly at the manned counter to pick up your tickets.

2. Ask for help: If you do not carry any documents that reflect your ID number, you can seek help from station staff. They can direct you to the station police department to issue a temporary identity card. When issuing a temporary identity card, you need to provide an ID photo or use the express photo machine of the Public Security Department to take a photo. Then, you need to report your ID number, and the staff will issue a temporary identity certificate for you. With temporary identification, you can go to the manual counter to collect your tickets.

It should be noted that the temporary identity certificate is only valid on that day, and the ID used when purchasing tickets online must be consistent with the ID used when actually picking up tickets. If your ID card is purchased online, then you need to provide a document with the ID number; if your ID card is purchased in a passport, then you need to provide passport information.

In addition, the management measures for the location of Pingyao Ancient City do not require an ID card to enter Pingyao Ancient City, so you can still enter Pingyao Ancient City even without an ID card.
