About Quanzhou

Sources and updates

Travel information changes. The source behind a fact and the date it was checked are part of the answer.

Source hierarchy

Use the source closest to the fact

  1. International and national authorities

    UNESCO property records, UNESCO Creative Cities, national visitor guidance and railway platforms establish formal status and systems.

  2. Local institutions and operators

    Museums, temples, cultural bodies, transport operators, hotels and brands provide access, facilities and first-party details.

  3. Research and specialist publications

    Academic work and credible cultural institutions help explain history, foodways, performance and city identity.

  4. Reliable media

    Reported features can add interviews, photography and contemporary context, but should not replace primary facts.

  5. Field checks and visitor reports

    Useful for entrances, wayfinding and current friction; clearly dated and not treated as permanent truth.

Update practice

What gets checked most often

Transport, opening hours, reservations, tickets, payment support, hotel status, restaurant branches and event dates need more frequent review than historical interpretation.

What a last-checked date means

It records when the named sources were reviewed. It is not a guarantee that a venue cannot make a short-notice operational change.

Images and captions

Public release requires a recorded owner or creator, source, usage right, caption and alt text for every image. Images must represent the named place, property, dish or tradition rather than a convenient substitute.

Machine-readable clarity

Pages use stable URLs, descriptive titles, concise answer sections, visible sources and structured data so search engines and AI systems can identify what the page covers and where the facts came from.

Notice something that changed?

Record the page URL, the specific claim, a current source and the date observed so the correction can be checked efficiently.
