Start with the responsible source
Entry eligibility comes from immigration authorities; a ticket, room or transport product comes from the operator that sells or runs it. Source links sit beside the relevant claim or in the page's source section.
SOURCES & CORRECTIONSHow we edit
How we edit
ChinaMile.
The ChinaMile editorial team prepares and maintains these guides. Use this page to understand our source choices, review dates, photographs and corrections.
Separate rules from practical steps
A rule describes who is eligible or what is required. A practical step explains the booking channel, identity check, entrance or transfer. When those sources conflict, the page identifies the conflict and gives a usable alternative.
Date the claim that was checked
Checked dates refer to the source review shown on the page. Rewriting a heading, replacing a photograph or changing a layout does not renew the checks on fares, opening hours or eligibility.
Correct the recommendation
A correction that changes what a traveller should do belongs in the answer and its source note. We prioritise information whose failure could prevent entry, invalidate a booking or strand someone.
SOURCE METHOD
Match the source to the question.
For immigration, customs, public transport and safety rules, we use the responsible authority's published guidance. For a museum visit, an airport transfer or a hotel stay, we also use the operator's visitor, booking or product pages. A municipal page can help explain a route or a passport procedure; the live operator's dated ticket still settles the actual booking.
Booking platforms can establish what that platform sells, the fields it asks for and the terms displayed for a selected product. Traveller reports and on-site observations can reveal a practical failure or a missing step. When a page relies on such an observation, its place, date and limits matter; a single experience does not establish a rule for every traveller.
A quoted booking rule and a completed transaction are different kinds of evidence. We identify any first-hand booking or on-site test that a guide relies on. Where two official pages disagree, the guide names the disagreement and directs the reader to the authority or operator that can settle the individual case.
DATES & REVIEWS
Show what changed and what was checked.
Important claims have source links and checked dates. Those dates describe the review actually carried out; a page update date can also reflect an editorial change. A guide with sources checked on different days keeps those individual dates.
When preparing a publication or responding to a reported change, we reopen the sources affected by the recommendation. Entry eligibility, identity checks, payments, transport, hotel registration and connectivity receive priority because an error can stop a trip or a booking. A fresh date is added only when the underlying claim has actually been checked.
Itinerary examples use arrival day, Day 1 and relative booking windows. Repeating summer and winter hours remain visible. For holidays, temporary exhibitions, short closures and short promotions, the guide points to the operator's announcement list. A policy or product deadline that determines whether you can use it, or a long closure that determines whether to go, remains in the answer.

Real places with traceable credits.
Destination photographs are selected from sources that permit the site's use, including public-domain and Creative Commons photographs. The credit beside each image links to its source and applicable licence. The photo's capture date describes when it was taken.
Crops and resized sharing images are identified in the image credits. An image under a ShareAlike licence and its adapted versions keep that licence. The photographer remains the author of the photograph; the article is prepared by the ChinaMile editorial team.
A photograph helps identify a place, landscape or route feature. Opening hours, available tickets and current access come from the visitor and booking sources linked in the guide.
CORRECTION POLICY
What is useful to send →Report a page that no longer matches what you found.
Write to aliceleeeeeeeee@gmail.com. Include the page URL, the sentence or step that differed, where and when you encountered it, and a link to a current operator notice or other supporting evidence when available. Leave passport numbers, payment details and other personal records out of the report.
The editorial team checks the relevant source, corrects the recommendation when the evidence supports it and updates the source note and check date for the affected claims. Reports about entry, bookings, payments and transport are treated as practical issues that need a usable next step.
