        "question": "Which cities in Washington can I fly to directly or with one stop from Shanghai?",
        "answer": "From Shanghai you typically fly into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the main gateway for Washington state. Non-stop flights are available to Seattle, while other cities like Spokane require a connection, often through Seattle or West Coast hubs like San Francisco.

      "q8": {
