Talk:Yinan

Request for final review

[edit source]

Hello. I have developed my Yinan County sandbox article and completed the required sections, transport information, listings, map, climate information and banner. I would appreciate feedback from experienced Wikivoyage editors before the article is moved from my sandbox. Please review the article and let me know what should be improved. Thank you.

Overall, nice work, but I do have some criticisms:
Like many other articles, it could be improved with more co-ordinates in listings.
Both listings under "other destinations" are towns. I'd delete that heading & move them to "cities".
There are many listings under a "hot springs" heading but it looks like only one or two are actually hot springs.
Thanks for contributing. Pashley (talk) 16:10, 18 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Pashley: Thank you for the review. I moved Tongjing and Zhuanbu to the Cities section, removed the misleading Hot springs subsection, and added verified coordinates to the Yinan Han Tomb Museum listing. Thank you for helping me improve the article. Xian7710 (talk) 17:15, 18 September 2026 (UTC)Reply


@Pashley: Thank you again for your September review. I have substantially revised Yinan since then, including reorganizing the listings, adding coordinates and improving the practical travel information. Could you please review the article again and check whether I have correctly addressed your earlier comments about coordinates, towns and the hot springs grouping? I would appreciate any further suggestions. Thank you. Xian7710 (talk) 08:41, 23 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi Xian7710! I read the revised Yinan article. The distinction between the two Zhuge Liang attractions is helpful, and the Chinese names make it easier for visitors to explain their destinations to drivers. Tongjing and Zhuanbu are now under Cities, and the Hot springs subsection contains only the hot-spring resort, which seems to address those earlier comments.
A few suggestions from a fellow student and reader:
  • In Cities, add an internal link to Tongjing, which already has its own guide. This would help readers find more detailed information about the attractions there.
  • Get in and Get around could be more useful for visitors without a car. Could you add a verified bus route and boarding stop for at least one major attraction, such as Zhuquan Village? The bus company's phone number is useful, but a concrete journey would make planning easier. The airport listing could also link directly to Linyi#By plane.
  • Some listings still lack map markers, including Zhisheng Hot Spring Resort and the accommodation listings. Adding verified coordinates would help visitors compare where to stay. The Yimeng Red Financial Exhibition Hall also needs a more precise address than “Yinan County”.
  • Where reliable information is available, add opening hours, admission prices and any reservation requirements for the main museums and attractions. For example, this would help readers decide when to visit the Yinan Han Tomb Museum.
Thanks for developing the guide! These practical details would make it easier for a first-time visitor to turn the article into an itinerary. Lewis3044 (talk) 06:09, 27 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
@User:Lewis3044: Thank you for the practical suggestions. I have added the Tongjing link and linked the airport listing to Linyi#By plane. I also added a journey to Zhuquan Village using the county government's published bus 3 route, with the boarding point and a reminder to confirm current return departures.
I have now added approximate WGS84 map coordinates for Zhisheng Hot Spring Resort and Homeinn Plus, and replaced the financial exhibition hall's generic county address with Changshanzhuang Village, Mamuchi Township, north of the Hongsao Memorial Hall, following the county government's venue profile. For the Han Tomb Museum, I added the county-published 09:00-17:00 hours and consultation number, with advice to confirm any midday closure, admission charges and booking requirements.
The other accommodation coordinates, current museum admission price and reservation rules still need confirmation; I have left unsupported details out. Could you please check whether these changes address your suggestions? Thank you! Xian7710 (talk) 06:28, 27 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
