About China Must See

China Must See is an independent travel guide built for one reader: the first-time foreign visitor trying to make sense of a huge, fast-changing country. We turn scattered official information, local know-how, and real trip experience into guides you can actually plan from.

Who Writes This

Every guide on China Must See is written and reviewed by Yubin Long (龙宇斌), the site's founder and editor-in-chief. Yubin is China-based and has spent the past decade helping foreign friends, students, and families plan trips across the country — from visa and payment setup before arrival to multi-city routes on the ground. His writing focuses on the practical gaps guidebooks skip: which apps actually work without a local number, how to pay when your card gets declined, and what "open" really means for a temple at 4 p.m.

Our Mission

China is one of the world's most fascinating destinations, but it can also be overwhelming for first-time visitors. Our mission is to make China accessible to everyone by providing practical, honest, and detailed travel information — written by someone who has actually navigated the same friction our readers face.

What Makes Us Different

• Written by a real person — One accountable editor, not an anonymous content farm
• Foreign traveler focused — Every guide addresses the practical concerns of international visitors
• Up-to-date information — We regularly update our guides with current prices, opening hours, and policies
• No fluff — Every guide is structured for easy scanning and quick reference

Editorial Standards

Each article goes through research, drafting, fact-checking, and a final review before publication. We draw on official tourism resources, on-the-ground verification, and first-hand traveler reports — and we correct mistakes when they're flagged.

• Research — Official sites, transit operators, and local sources are checked per topic
• First-hand checks — Where possible, details are confirmed by someone who was recently there
• Updates — Articles are reviewed periodically and revised when conditions change (prices, hours, visa rules)
• Corrections — Spot an error? Email corrections@chinamustsee.com
