The mausoleum is a much-revered place, so proper decorum is expected of visitors. Talking, for example, is frowned on. Photo-taking is strictly prohibited, so leave your cameras and bags in the shed next to the mausoleum before going in. After a glimpse of the body, you may like to pick up some Mao memorabilia at one of the souvenir shacks outside the mausoleum. The mausoleum is open from 8.30am to 11.30am, and occasionally from 1pm to 3.30pm.
Admission is free.
