Fifteen Chinese cities have more attractions than verified hotels, a gap the dataset treats as a feature

A small travel dataset tracking hotels that accept foreign guests and English-named attractions found eighteen Chinese cities sitting exactly at its eight-hotel minimum for a dedicated city page. Fifteen of those cities also have at least six attractions, with Zhenjiang listing nineteen attractions against eight hotels and Yichun listing twenty. Hotels only count if they state they accept foreign guests, have a verified Chinese street address, and a public review history, which is why the counts sit below what booking sites show. The author argues that a city with only a few options stops being a useful guide, so cities below the floor get the nearest larger city instead. Where lodging is scarce, the site advises visitors to treat the city as a day trip and sleep in a nearby hub such as Nanjing, Harbin or Nanning.
