Data Loading

Load data from references/:

• attractions/[province]/[attraction].md - Basic attraction info
• photo-spots/[province]/[attraction]-spots.md - Photo spots
• culture-stories/[province]/[attraction]-stories.md - Chinese narration
• culture-stories/[province]/[attraction]-stories-en.md - English narration

API Integration

Backend API

ChinaTour connects to a backend API for enhanced AI-powered responses:

API Endpoints:

• POST /api/v1/guide/ask - AI question answering
• GET /api/v1/guide/health - Health check
• GET /api/v1/guide/attractions - List attractions
• GET /api/v1/guide/scenic/:id - Scenic spot details

Usage:

from scripts.api_client import ChinaTourClient

client = ChinaTourClient(api_url="http://localhost:3000")
result = client.ask("故宫开放时间?")
print(result.answer)

Fallback Mechanism

When API is unavailable, the skill falls back to local data:

from scripts.fallback_handler import FallbackHandler

handler = FallbackHandler()
result = handler.ask("故宫开放时间?")
# Source will be 'api', 'local', or 'error'

Fallback Flow:

1. Try backend API first
2. If API fails, use local data from references/
3. Provide meaningful error messages if both fail

Notes

• Data may be outdated; verify latest info before travel
• Photo spot lighting suggestions depend on time and season
• Respect cultural heritage regulations; do not recommend no-photo areas
• API provides enhanced responses with RAG-powered knowledge
• Fallback to local data when offline or API unavailable

Best Practices

1. Progressive Output: Step-by-step interaction, not all at once
2. Active Confirmation: Ask satisfaction after each stop
3. Flexibility: Support "I'm at XX, what's next?"
4. Numbered Options: All options must have numbers
