Visitor Reviews for Hani and Longji Rice Terraces in China

Two World Heritage–listed rice terrace sites in China are examined using 4,018 visitor reviews collected from the Ctrip platform. The dataset, created by Zhen Yang and last updated in 2026, supports analysis of visitor perceptions and negative feedback. Word frequency, semantic co-occurrence network, and chi-square tests were applied to the data.

Use Cases

• Conducting word frequency analysis to identify key dimensions of tourism experience based on visitor comments.
• Building semantic co-occurrence networks to explore structural relationships among core terms in reviews.
• Performing chi-square tests to identify statistically significant differences in evaluation characteristics between sites.
• Analyzing patterns of negative feedback related to transportation, management, weather, or service quality.

Strengths

• Contains 4,018 visitor reviews, providing a substantive text corpus for analysis.
• Focuses on two distinct World Heritage sites, enabling comparative study.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 13.5 KB, indicating limited scope or highly summarized data.
