How to read this guide
Legal Requirement labels summarize identified national provisions for mainland China; local restrictions still need checking. Safety Recommendation labels are practical editorial advice, not law or medical treatment. English legal summaries are unofficial. The source register records what was checked, not a live legal monitoring service.
Route verification standard
No GPX track, precise distance, elevation or live access status is published in this edition. Chengdu area ideas have not been field-verified as routes. A future route must record its method, date, road types, hazards and remaining uncertainties before it is presented as checked.
