Data Sources

The site prefers official Chinese government, ministry, railway, airline, metro, telecom, and payment-provider sources wherever possible. Travel-facing policy changes are added as structured content, not as open-ended blog posts.

• Visa and entry: Chinese government, immigration, embassy, and consular sources
• Payment and internet: official provider documentation and traveler service guidance
• Transport: railway, airline, metro, airport, and city-government traveler information
• Updates: official announcements first, with verified government-backed reporting only when it materially affects trip planning

• Visa detail pages list official sources and a last-verified date for each supported country.
• Payment, internet, transport, flights, and hotels detail pages now show source metadata on selected high-value claims rather than every row. When shown, maintained guidance uses sources, last-verified date, and scope.
• The updates archive explains when items are based on official announcements or government-backed reporting that affects travel planning.
• Transport, payment, and internet pages summarize traveler-facing options and should still be cross-checked before departure.

See the live archive on /updates and country-level source attribution on each visa detail page.

Even when a page is maintained and sourced, traveler-facing conditions can still change quickly. Payment acceptance, metro gate support, airline handling, and local enforcement can vary by city, port, or provider. Treat this site as structured planning guidance, not the last word before departure.
