Source Updates And Before-Booking Checklist
This page shows what changes fastest, how guide pages are refreshed, and what a traveler should recheck before turning a plan into paid bookings.
Source updatesHigh-change pages keep source-level review dates, next due dates, risk labels, and what-may-change notes visible near the source links.
Priority page readingPriority pages are checked for first screen usefulness, body detail, sources, next links, and page-specific judgment.
No paid placementThe guide currently has no affiliate links, booking commissions, sponsored operators, hotel placements, or paid app recommendations.
No stored traveler dataThe planning tools run in the browser and use URL parameters, copy, print, and text download actions instead of storing personal trip plans.

Before-Booking Checklist
- Recheck entry, payment, transport, weather, and attraction pages before final bookings.
- Confirm the live site address, robots, sitemap, and submitted URL list after the final domain is selected.
- Submit sitemap to search tools only after the production domain serves the same full guide.
- Schedule source-link, priority-page reading, and full-guide checks as recurring maintenance.
- Keep affiliate disclosure, privacy, and data-storage language updated before adding monetization or account features.
Recent Update Notes
Every content page now exposes a copyable city, route, verification, ordering, comparison, or fallback card, and high-change source areas are grouped into a public watchlist.
Navigation, page-type reading order, source concentration, visual/editorial thresholds, and high-change cadence were tightened over the same 200 content URLs.
The full guide was checked for source limits, priority-page reading quality, and local release-chain health.
Official and operator source anchors were tightened for visa, 12306, Beijing, Shanghai, weather, holidays, and attraction booking pages.
Planning tools gained URL state, copyable summaries, printable checklists, article clusters, and core route sketches.
Disclosure Boundary
The current site does not store traveler plans, does not run ads or affiliate links, and does not accept paid placement. Add those only after privacy, disclosure, and review language are updated.
