How to buy a BEIJING PASS card?

BEIJING PASS cards can be purchased at designated places. Once sold, the cards cannot be returned or reported as lost. The remaining balance can be refunded, but if the card is lost, the balance cannot be retrieved. The cards can be purchased at the designated self-service machines and staffed service counters at Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing Daxing International Airport, Beijing's rail transit system, and Yikatong's self-operated offices (in Dongzhimen and Xidan). Foreign visitors must present their valid identity documents such as passports when purchasing the cards.
