Route summary
MVP scope
This implementation covers the requested MVP: Round 1 routing and Round 2 nights + lodging. It uses a static, deterministic station dataset plus estimated train/flight legs generated from fixed station metadata.
- Cheapest minimizes total transport spend.
- Fastest minimizes estimated transit hours.
- Balanced values time at
90 CNY/hourto balance speed against cost.
Future rounds captured in the specification
- Round 3: start dates, exact dates per station, live trains and flights.
- Round 4: curated boutique hotels, hotel selection per station, optional booking links.
Static connection model used by the MVP
Each station pair is evaluated using fixed geographic metadata to derive estimated high-speed rail, conventional rail, and domestic flight options. The planner then picks the best leg for the selected optimization goal.
