China Travel OS Plan · Mark · Flex

Free core · Affiliate first · Stripe packs experimental

The China map foreign tourists can actually use.

Mark places, see anonymous traveler signals, follow short route cards, finish essential checklists, and export a shareable China flex map before the trip goes sideways.

Vibe Map

Mark China places in one tap

Choose a starter city, then mark each POI as Want, Been, Loved, or Skip. Data stays local in this MVP; signed-in cloud sync can be added later.

Bund skyline, metro-first movement, and first-night orientation.

Anonymous Trend Layer

What travelers are marking now

City-level aggregate signals only. No exact location, no profile cards, no “someone near you” feed, and no display when the sample is too small.

MVP note: trend data starts from editorial demo signals plus this browser's opt-in-style local marks. Production must replace this with real anonymous, consented, thresholded events.

Knowledge Cards

Short cards instead of bloated guides

Every card turns Chinese-internet clues into executable instructions: why go, Chinese name, how long, risk, what to show locally, and the next booking step.

Free Checklist

The critical survival layer stays free

Payment, network, maps, high-speed rail, and arrival basics should not sit behind a paywall. Paid packs sell convenience, not survival.

Flex Map

Turn marks into a shareable China flex card

Export a social image for Instagram, TikTok covers, Reddit, or X. The image is generated in-browser and uses your current local marks.
