      "q6": {
        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in California and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "California draws visitors to Los Angeles for entertainment and beaches, San Francisco for landmarks and culture, San Diego for beaches and the zoo, Orange County for Disneyland and Yosemite for national park scenery.

        "answer": "From Beijing, Los Angeles International offers the most direct flights and serves as the main gateway for Southern California’s theme parks, beaches and road trips. San Francisco International is another strong option if you are heading to Northern California, Silicon Valley or Yosemite. Both airports connect to major hubs and offer onward flights to smaller California cities, so your choice depends on whether you plan to start your trip in the north or south of the state."
