Answer these in order. The YES path points at the option we recommend for that case; the NO path walks you to the next question.

  1. Would the lack of this break core trip functionality?

    Q1

    YES

    → 购买保险. Critical blockers (payment, internet, visa) usually warrant a "yes".

    NO

    Continue to Q2: Are you visiting any high-altitude region?

    Q2

    NO

    Continue to Q3: Do you have ≥24 hours to apply the recommendation?

  3. Do you have ≥24 hours to apply the recommendation?

    Q3

    → 购买保险. Time-pressed travelers should default to the lowest-friction option.

    NO

    Continue to Q4: Will you be in a tier-1 city for most of the trip?

  4. Will you be in a tier-1 city for most of the trip?

    Q4

    YES

    → 购买保险. Tier-1 coverage (Beijing / Shanghai / Guangzhou / Shenzhen) is the universal baseline — outside it the secondary option often wins.

    NO

    → 依靠已有保障. If none of the above apply, 依靠已有保障 is the safer runner-up for your case.
