How it is built, by role
The same roles apply across the whole collection. Nothing in this block is specific to this site; what the site says about itself is quoted word for word below it.
- 1
Edge network
Visitors reach a site through an edge layer: a content delivery network with a web application firewall in front of it.
- 2
Application host
The edge talks to an application host that serves the site and renders its pages.
- 3
Data
What the pages show comes from a relational database or, for a site pre-rendered at build time, from data files built into its release.
- 4
Scheduled measurement
The collection measures its sites on a schedule: content dates and site health nightly, page counts read from each site’s sitemap weekly. Every reading is kept with its date. A site too large to re-walk is not re-measured, and shows no trend.
- 5
Public status feed
A monitoring panel sends a signed report on uptime, deploys and backups once a day, and the Operations page publishes it. A figure on this page that comes from that report says so.
In the site's own words
Each passage is copied unaltered from a page the site publishes, with the address it was taken from and the date we took it. We add nothing between them.
“ChinaVisitGuide is a written reference for visiting and living in mainland China, Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR.”
“ChinaVisitGuide is a small editorial project, part of a portfolio of similar reference sites covering Bangkok, Pattaya, Cambodia and Dubai.”
“Real prices, real addresses, real opening hours, dated and verified.”
“Every page that quotes a price, an address or a visa rule carries a verified-date stamp.”
“The team writes from first-hand experience and from established public sources.”
“The site is free to read, runs no paid placements, no affiliate links, no booking widgets, no lead-capture popups.”
“The editorial standards describe the voice rules; the methodology describes how we research and update; the corrections log lists every accepted fix.”
“If a price, hour, address or rule has changed, write to us via the contact page.”
