- Free vs Paid: Price type "1" typically means free reservation required, "2" means paid tickets
- Language: All content is in Chinese (Simplified)
- Talent Notes: Limited to top 5 notes in the response for brevity
- Place Pages: URLs matching
/you/place/are destination guides, not individual attractions and may not be supported
