Methodology

Our method is simple: solve the parts of China travel that fail in real life. We prioritize payment, internet, passport-ticket logistics, hotel addresses, station choice, route pacing, weather buffers and emergency backups before sightseeing inspiration.

Editorial checklist

• Is this written for a foreign visitor without Chinese apps or language fluency?
• Can the instruction be followed before landing?
• Does it work offline if mobile data or VPN fails?
• Does it separate stable advice from time-sensitive rules?
• Does it avoid pretending to be official legal, medical or immigration advice?

High-risk facts are written cautiously and major corrections are reflected in the changelog.
