Hotels that quietly turn foreign passports away. A country that runs on QR-code payments. A taxi driver who doesn't read Latin letters. SinoStay is a community-built toolkit that fixes all three — city by city.
6,000+ officially rated hotels across 427 districts of China — addresses, phone numbers, guest reviews and photos.
One city at a time, done properly — verified hotels, working tools, honest guides. LIVE = data tools ready, GUIDE = content ready, HUB = navigation hub.
