September 7, 2026

Plan as a Guest — Try Before You Sign In

You can now generate a full trip without an account — just start chatting and see it take shape. Completed itineraries are shown as a preview and unlock fully when you sign in, with 3 free previews every month (reopening the same trip never costs one). Your remaining credits appear in a badge above the planner, and when you save a trip you'll be gently invited to create an account so nothing you planned is ever lost.

September 5, 2026

Smarter Trips & Smoother Chat

Trip generation now switches between AI services automatically, so a busy model never leaves you waiting. Signing in with Google returns you exactly where you were, and attraction suggestions now include sights, not just shows and shopping.

September 3, 2026

Streamlined Admin Sign-In & Order Drafts

Behind the scenes, the admin panel now uses a streamlined secure sign-in without sliders, and service orders can be started as drafts, edited, and sent to customers by email in one click.

September 1, 2026

New Login Security, Contact Us & Smarter Biubiu

Sign-in now uses our own slider-captcha with an email-code backup — faster and more reliable. The footer's Contact Us opens a quick form (topic, email, phone) that reaches the team directly, with a WhatsApp QR code. Biubiu now always uses English attraction names, refuses empty itineraries, and softly guides non-China requests back to China trips.

September 1, 2026

All City Guides Enriched & Search Fixes

All 325 city guides now carry seven fully-written sections (Highlights, Where to Stay, Itineraries, FAQ and more), Wuxi got a deeper rewrite, and Liuzhou joined the search index with a new cover. A batch of cities that didn't link to their guides from search (including compound names like Erguna & Shiwei) now jump correctly, and every city name is properly capitalized.

September 1, 2026

Videos Back & Footer Unified

YouTube playback is restored across the homepage, Stories TV Channel and every Sound & Screen module, and the 13 pages still using the old footer now share the unified one with live social links.

Site-wide Fixes & Real Photos

Every travel guide's hero banner and social-share image now loads correctly, Taiwan was folded into its cities, mislabeled city data was corrected, and 95+ destination covers were replaced with real photography. Sounds of China Radio now plays 72 real recordings plus the original 20 AI tracks.

August 24, 2026

Help Center in Chat & Ultrawide Screens

Biubiu now answers website questions in chat straight from the Help Center — brief replies with numbered follow-up options and one-tap return to trip planning — and everything is tuned for ultrawide (3440px) monitors: a denser, fully-filled itinerary wheel, 4-up stories, two-column FAQ, and a wider homepage and pricing.

August 23, 2026

City Sound & Screen — 34 Destinations

34 city guides now end with a Sound & Screen module: six songs and six films per city — from Cantonese lullabies in Hong Kong to F.I.R.'s Crescent Bay in Dunhuang, with English-narrated documentaries and movie explainers for travelers. More cities are on the way.

August 22, 2026

500+ Destination Guides & a Brand-New Explore Map

The Destinations page was rebuilt — 554 cities with clickable provinces, popularity tiers, a searchable sidebar, and a paged catalogue. 451 new city guides went live with real or AI-generated cover photos, Hong Kong and Macau guides were expanded, and 48 guide pages got layout fixes.

August 20, 2026

Help Center Videos & Planner Fixes

The Help Center (magictrip.help) got 20+ new screen recordings, three new guides, and updated visuals. Also fixed: double calendar on the anchor date field, city delete button in the planner, and the account sidebar now links to the Help Center.

August 16, 2026

Chat Stability & Trip Planner Polish

Fixed chats that hung on "Thinking" — replies now stream reliably and quick-reply chips appear after each answer. Trip planner upgrades: clearer tutorial with restart option, English-only recommendation lists, simplified map legend, and trip pages that load instantly.

August 14, 2026

New Pricing Page

Pricing is now a public page with a fresh design, Subscribe / One Time toggle, AI model comparison, and FAQ. Smart upgrade flow: sign in if needed, pay, and return right back to what you were doing. Plan buttons show your real status.
