Bottom line: We aim for accuracy, independence, and usefulness. Every guide is researched from multiple sources, checked against current local conditions, and updated when information changes.

Research process

  1. Route verification: We check distances, driving times, road conditions, and parking availability using mapping tools and local sources.
  2. Regulatory review: Driving rules, license requirements, and visa-related information are cross-checked against official Chinese government sources and rental-company policies.
  3. Local pricing: We collect representative prices from public booking platforms, rental sites, and attraction ticketing pages.
  4. Seasonal updates: We note how weather, crowds, and scenery change throughout the year.

Fact-checking

Before publication, each article is reviewed for factual consistency. We prioritize primary sources (official websites, government notices, rental company terms) and update when those sources change.

Updates

Travel conditions change. We review core guides at least quarterly and update them when we find significant changes to routes, prices, regulations, or attractions. Each article displays a last-updated date.

Independence

We do not accept payment for placement in guides. Affiliate links, if used, are clearly disclosed and do not influence recommendations. Our goal is traveler usefulness, not advertiser preference.

Corrections

If you spot outdated or incorrect information, please contact us. We investigate and update verified corrections promptly.
