EDITORIAL POLICY
How EasyTripCN creates and reviews travel guides
This policy explains how EasyTripCN chooses sources, handles changing travel information, uses AI-assisted tools, maintains translations and separates editorial decisions from commercial links.
1. Start with a traveler decision
A page should answer a concrete planning or troubleshooting question. It should help the reader make a decision, complete a task or understand a tradeoff. Pages that only restate a short itinerary, navigation choice or commercial offer are not considered ready for search indexing or advertising.
2. Source hierarchy
- Primary official sources: government authorities, transport operators and the official documentation of payment, connectivity or booking services.
- Direct product evidence: current interfaces, help centers, terms and documented service behavior.
- Independent context: reputable reporting and experienced traveler accounts, used to explain practical variation rather than replace official rules.
Search snippets, unsourced summaries and AI-generated answers are not accepted as factual sources.
3. Change-sensitive information
Visa, transit, payment, ticketing and connectivity details can change quickly. These pages include visible review dates and official-source reminders. When a detail cannot be kept reliably current, the guide should tell readers where and when to verify it instead of presenting a guarantee.
4. AI-assisted work
AI-assisted tools may help organize research, draft or translate text, normalize metadata, identify broken links and maintain repeated page structures. They do not establish truth or personal experience. Material claims must be supported independently, and generated text should be reviewed for unsupported certainty, translation errors and generic filler before it is treated as publication-ready.
5. Firsthand experience and imagery
EasyTripCN does not imply firsthand testing when none is documented. A page that contains an actual test, visit or screenshot should say what was tested and when. Licensed third-party images are credited and are illustrative; they are not evidence that the publisher completed the described trip.
6. Localization
English is the primary editorial source. Localized editions should preserve the decision logic and safety caveats, not merely translate keywords. Pages that are too short, incomplete or not yet adequately reviewed may remain accessible to users while being excluded from advertising or search indexing until improved.
7. Affiliate links and advertising
Affiliate links are labeled with sponsored attributes. A commercial relationship does not guarantee inclusion or positive wording. Publisher content must remain the main purpose of a page, and pages with insufficient editorial content are excluded from display-ad loading.
8. Corrections
Corrections are prioritized by potential traveler impact. Reports concerning entry rules, payment access, transport procedures or safety are reviewed before stylistic issues. To report a problem, use the contact page and include the page URL, the affected wording and an official source when possible.
