What this server can do
5 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
check_attraction_booking(attraction)- How a foreigner books a specific Chinese attraction: real-name/passport requirement, ticket release time, whether it sells out, the OFFICIAL channel, and whether authorized resellers exist. Use for 'can foreigners book the Forbidden City / Terracotta Army / Mogao Caves and when do tickets release'. Required: attraction.
check_transit_eligibility(port, nationality, onward_to_third_country)- Whether a traveler qualifies for China's 240-hour visa-free TRANSIT (not the 30-day visa-free entry). Needs nationality, the entry port/city, and whether they have an onward ticket to a THIRD country/region. Returns eligibility, regional limits, and the defining conditions. Required: nationality.
get_city_facts(city)- Field-verified facts a foreign traveler needs for a Chinese city: which attractions need real-name/passport booking and when tickets release, official ticket channels (no resellers), whether hotels register foreign guests, whether foreign cards work via Alipay/WeChat, and honest local notes. Use for questions like 'how do I book X in <city>' or 'can foreigners stay in hotels in <city>'. Required: city.
get_travel_playbook(topic)- TravelerLocal's field-verified stance on the system-level things foreigners get wrong in China (not a specific place): paying when a foreign card fails, eSIM vs VPN and the firewall, the Chinese-phone-number wall, the first hour after landing, hotel foreigner-registration, and visa-free transit. Use for 'why does my card keep getting declined in China', 'do I need a VPN or an eSIM', 'do I need a Chinese phone number', 'what do I do when I land'. Required: topic.
search_cities(query)- Search the cities TravelerLocal has field-verified pages for. Returns matching city names and page URLs. Use to discover coverage or resolve a place to a city. Required: query.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
