About ChinaTravelPack
Meet Our Team: China Travel Editors & Writers
Every guide on ChinaTravelPack is written and verified by editors who live in the cities they cover. No remote content farms. No AI-generated itineraries passed off as experience.
Our Editorial Approach
Verified on the Ground
Every restaurant, every price, every app setup — tested by editors who physically go there. If we say "¥35 for a bowl of beef noodles," we paid ¥35.
Sourced from RedNote
Our local tips are curated from RedNote (小红书) — China's largest social platform with 300M+ users. We filter the noise so you get only proven recommendations.
Updated Monthly
China changes fast — apps update, visa rules shift, restaurants close. Our editors review every guide monthly and update prices, links, and policies.
