Search 易俗社文化街区 with its address rather than relying on a city-level result; the entrance is the useful destination.
Keep the district visit separate from any paid Qin-opera or museum product.
Use the recorded crowd pattern to choose a start time, then adjust at Yisu Society Cultural District if the on-site flow differs.
Normal opening profile: Public block reference: 10:00-22:00 / Museum reference: 10:00-18:00; last entry 17:00; closed mon. The block, museum and theatre are separate entities; the 17:00 cutoff only applies to the museum reference.
Save 易俗社文化街区 and 西一路282号(钟楼地铁站D口步行130米) before leaving; the last walk is easier when the gate is already marked.
