An independent door, not an agency
imeetzjj exists for the last mile, not for information: can the hotel register your passport, does the desk speak English, how do you ask a local agency for a quote without Chinese?
How we check things
- Prices and opening hours come from the official operator page when one exists; otherwise from two independent sources that agree.
- Hotel and restaurant capabilities are checked by phone, in Chinese, and dated on the page.
- Every page shows the date it was last checked and links its source. If something is unverified, the page says so instead of guessing.
- When a policy is more than 45 days old, the page shows a warning bar. We would rather look stale than look certain.
What we do not do
- We do not take payments, hold deposits, or issue contracts.
- We do not apply for visas or guarantee entry — immigration officers decide.
- We do not book on your behalf. The inquiry sheet is yours to send.
- We do not list freelance guides: under Chinese law, paid guiding runs through a licensed travel agency.
- We do not scrape OTA prices or pretend to show live availability.
Why the Chinese inquiry sheet
Agencies read Chinese; visitors write English. Translation handles a sentence, not a quote, a cancellation policy or a liability question. The sheet is a fixed, structured request an agency can answer without guessing, and its code tells them it came from here.
Where this is going
Zhangjiajie first: content, verification, matchmaking — no money changing hands. Then the same structure goes to Beijing, Shanghai and, under a different compliance model, Tibet — one name: meetChina, an English door to inbound China.
