Taoyangli's September 18 website update shows a refreshed Old Market banner and park hours of 08:30–22:00. Market, performance, museum and last-entry details still require same-day official and on-site confirmation.

What the website currently confirms

The homepage shows park opening at 08:30 and closing at 22:00, together with an updated Old Market message. That supports a rough daytime-heritage and evening-street plan but does not mean every museum, stall or performance operates throughout.

The Imperial Kiln Museum, ruins, merchants and temporary events may have separate last entry, reservations, breaks or changes. Reopen the official site or contact the venue before buying transport and classes.

A first-visit sequence

Enter later in the afternoon to reduce heat exposure, finish the priority ruins and museum first, then use dusk for lanes, market and food. Visitors focused on architecture and history do not need to chase every performance.

Families, seniors and wheelchair users should confirm an accessible route, toilets, seating and closing order. Store or return large ceramic purchases rather than carrying them through crowds.

Return and event boundaries

The website's 22:00 park closing does not mean buses, app cars or every shop run to the same time. Check road controls and lawful pickup points before leaving and allow walking and dispatch time.

Do not buy an unverified internal ticket or enter closed courtyards and work areas; ask before photographing performances, residents or studios. Same-day official notices and on-site management take priority.
