How Choice works. And what we say no to.

编辑标准 · 我们如何工作

Every guide and every listing on this site is built the same way: verified in the open, chosen by hand, and answerable to readers rather than advertisers. This page is the whole method, written down so you can hold us to it. 这个网站上的每篇指南、每个条目都用同一套方法完成:公开核实、亲手挑选、只对读者负责。这一页就是完整的方法,写下来,请你监督。

No. 01

Every fact, two independent sources每个事实,两个独立信源

Before an address, phone number, price, or opening time is published, it has to agree across at least two of these, checked separately:

  • The venue’s own official channel · its website, WeChat account, or brand page.场所官方渠道:官网、微信公众号或品牌主页
  • Dianping 大众点评 · listed details plus what multiple recent reviewers actually paid.点评在册信息 + 多位近期食客的真实消费
  • Xiaohongshu 小红书 · only when several unrelated users report the same thing.仅采信多位互不相关用户的一致描述
  • Trip.com & 携程 · for hotels, attractions, and anything travel.酒店、景点与出行类目加查

A fact that cannot be confirmed twice does not run. Not with a hedge, not with “reportedly”. It waits until it can be, or it stays out.

无法两次确认的信息不会发布。不加模糊限定词,不写“据说”。要么等到能确认,要么不写。

What we reject我们拒绝什么

12
Listings held back or corrected so far, for facts we could not verify.因事实无法核实而拒收或修正的条目累计

That number is a live count from our editorial log, and every entry in it is a real decision. A few examples of the kinds of things behind it, kept anonymous:

  • A restaurant whose heritage story could not be verified. Declined, however good the story sounded.品牌历史无法核实的餐厅:再动听也不收
  • A museum whose address and hours appeared on no official channel anywhere. Declined.地址与营业时间毫无官方出处的展馆:不收
  • A fitness chain that collapsed. Delisted the week the closures were confirmed.连锁健身房倒闭:确认当周即下架
  • Venues that quietly closed. Flagged and taken down after cross-checking, not left to waste your evening.悄悄停业的场所:核实后立即处理,不让你白跑一趟
  • A tasting-menu price that was wrong. Corrected to the figure multiple diners actually paid.错误的套餐价格:改为多位食客实际支付的数字
  • Addresses that had drifted from reality. Corrected against official listings.与现实不符的地址:对照官方信息逐一修正
  • A “permanently closed” claim that traced to one stale travel page. The flag was rejected and the listing kept, because the venue is open.仅有一个过期页面支持的“停业”说法:驳回,保留在册,因为店还开着

No paid placements pretending to be opinions不做伪装成观点的软广

Venues can advertise with Choice, and some do. When they do, it looks like this: Sponsored 推广 · on the card, on the page, every time. Money buys a clearly marked space next to our recommendations. It has never bought a recommendation, and it will not start to.

商家可以在 Choice 投放广告,也确实有商家在投。但每一次都会像上面那样清楚标注“Sponsored 推广”:卡片上标,页面里也标。付费买到的是推荐旁边一块标注清晰的位置,买不到推荐本身,以后也一样。

Corrections勘误

Found something wrong: a price that moved, a kitchen that closed, a door that isn’t where we said it was? Email choiceshanghaimk@gmail.com and we will check it, fix it, and add it to the log that feeds the counter above. Corrections make the site better, so they are welcome, not grudging.

发现哪里不对:价格变了、后厨停了、门牌不在我们写的位置?发邮件告诉我们,我们会核实、修正,并计入上面那个计数器背后的编辑日志。勘误让网站更好,我们欢迎它,不是勉强接受。

No. 05

Photos图片

Every venue and dish photo comes from exactly two places: the venue’s own official channels, or our own camera. Nothing scraped from review platforms, nothing lifted from other people’s posts, no strangers’ faces used without their say. If we cannot show a place properly, we wait until we can.

每一张场所与菜品照片只有两个来源:场所自己的官方渠道,或我们自己的相机。不从点评平台抓取,不搬运他人帖子,不擅自使用陌生人的面孔。拍不好,就等到能拍好再发。
