AI and live information
Ask ChinaLocal uses AI to generate answers and may use live AMap data. Opening hours, prices and rules can change; check important details before relying on them. ChinaLocal is not a travel agency and does not sell bookings. Trip.com links may earn us a commission.
Acceptable use
Each account is for one person. Do not automate queries or resell access. We may limit abusive use.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, ChinaLocal is not responsible for losses caused by inaccurate or outdated travel information or service interruptions. Our total liability for the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. This does not limit rights that the law does not allow us to limit.
Changes and contact
We will update this page and its date when these terms change. Questions and refund requests can be sent to 272691850@qq.com or through the feedback form. Read our privacy policy for data handling details.
