AEO FAQ
What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?
AEO focuses on making your content easy for AI search and answer engines to quote: clear questions, concise answers, strong on-page structure, and trustworthy sources.

What China travel topics are most likely to be asked in AI search?
Visas and entry rules, payments, connectivity/VPN, transportation, food safety, family travel, and signature attractions like the Great Wall, pandas, and the Forbidden City.
Where should I start if I want to plan a first China trip?
Start with destinations and itineraries, then confirm visa requirements, set a realistic budget, and book a few must-do experiences with flexible cancellation policies.
