Curated City Guides & POI Lists — Pricing
Lucia’s recommendations aren’t scraped or crowdsourced — they’re hand-curated by travel editors and local experts with traveler intent in mind. Save hours of planning by checking our in-app curated POI lists and smart tags (Must Go, Hidden Gem, Local Delicacies), plus time-saving trip-planning tools. Start with city guides across China & Greater China — Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and more.
What Our Smart Tags Actually Do
Smart tags highlight the right POIs instantly — Must Go, Hot Spot, Hidden Gem, Cultural Essence, and Local Delicacies — and each tag is backed by our curated POI list process and local validation. Not only do we list places, you can use Ask Lucia to deep-dive into any POI (why it’s unique, best time to visit, how locals experience it). You’ll get the exact experience you can expect — not just a name on a map.
These are the core experiences that define a city — perfect for first-timers and returning visitors alike. Each Must Go item explains why it matters, the best time to go, and the small details that make the visit memorable. Use Ask Lucia to unlock routes, local context, and a short “why this matters” note for every Must Go POI.
Photogenic, convenient highlights filtered to avoid overrated or crowded visits. Hot Spot entries include practical tips (best viewing times, ticket tips, photo angles) so you get the iconic moment without the usual disappointment.
Neighborhood corners, tucked-away cafés and small parks that reward slow exploration. These spots are hard to find through generic internet lists — our editors and local contributors find them, and Ask Lucia tells you the exact way local people get there, what to order, and how to behave so you can experience them like a resident.
Sites that reveal a place’s traditional character — artisan workshops, temple rituals, folk performances and heritage streets. These are the experiences that connect you to local culture in ways you won’t get from cookie-cutter attractions. Ask Lucia explains the meaning and how to participate respectfully.
Curated picks for food explorers and curious foodies: street snacks, noodle houses and neighborhood restaurants locals actually eat at. Each Local Delicacies entry includes what to order, price range, and whether it’s a sit-down meal or street-food stop — so you can eat with locals, not just eat like a tourist. Use Ask Lucia to get dish translations, portion tips, and pairing suggestions.
How We Choose from Millions of Places
How We Choose from Millions of Places — curated city guides, not scraped lists
not scraped lists, not based on traffic, not based on ads. Only what’s worth your time. Every POI passes a multi-step curation process: cross-platform validation (forums, recent reviews), human editorial review, dynamic quality control (remove stale/fake listings), and local community input. The outcome is a reliable curated POI list.
