Palace Museum website overwhelmed by night tour demand

"Palace Museum will extend its opening hours to the evening for the first time for two consecutive nights in celebration of this year's Lantern Festival," museum curator Shan Jixiang said at an event on Saturday.

The museum's official website also announced it would host a "Lantern Festival night tour" cultural event on Feb 19 and 20, and visitors can make the appointment for the tour on Feb 17 and 18 respectively with the online ticket booking system.

After this announcement, tickets for Feb 19 sold out within ten minutes. Quite a few people have pinned their hopes on the second appointment.
