SetJetChina publishes travel guides to the real-world filming locations of Chinese dramas. We take intellectual property seriously — both the rights of the photographers whose work we license and the rights of the studios whose shows we write about. This page explains what images we use, where they come from, and how to have anything removed. This is our takedown policy in full.
Last updated: 30 September 2026
What images we use, and the takedown policy behind them
Every photograph on this site falls into one of three groups.
1. Licensed and public-domain photographs
The large majority of our images are Creative Commons or public-domain photographs, mostly sourced from Wikimedia Commons. Each one carries a visible credit showing the photographer’s name, the licence, and a link to the original file.
If a credit is wrong, incomplete, or missing, that is our error. Tell us and we will correct it — you do not need to file a formal notice for an attribution fix.
2. Drama stills, used to identify a location
When we show a frame from a series, it is there so you can see a scene and the real place side by side. That is the whole point of this site: to connect what you watched with somewhere you can actually stand.
We use a small number of stills per article. We caption them. We never sell them, licence them, or use them as advertising or affiliate material.
If you are a rights holder and would prefer that we did not show them, we will remove them. No argument, no negotiation.
3. Photographs contributed by travellers
Where we publish photographs taken by readers or travellers, they are used with the contributor’s permission and credited to them by name.
How to file a notice under this takedown policy
Email aimervoyage@gmail.com with the subject line Copyright notice.
To let us act straight away, please include:
- identification of the work you say has been infringed — a title, and where it was originally published
- the exact URL or URLs on setjetchina.com where the material appears
- your name, address, telephone number and email address
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the rights owner, its agent, or the law
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you own the rights or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf
- your physical or electronic signature
These items follow the requirements for a notification under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).
What happens next
We aim to acknowledge every notice within 2 business days, and to remove or disable access to the material within 2 business days of receiving a complete notice.
You do not need a lawyer. We will not ask you to prove anything beyond the items listed above, and we will not require you to agree to anything before we act.
If you think we removed something by mistake
If material was removed and you believe the removal was in error — for example because you hold the rights, or because the use was authorised — you may send a counter-notice to the same address with the same level of detail. We will forward it and restore the material where the law requires us to.
Why we work this way
We would rather license properly than argue later. That is why the overwhelming majority of images on this site are Creative Commons or public-domain photographs carrying visible attribution, and why we are steadily moving toward original contributed photography.
Where drama stills do appear, they appear in the narrow way described above: to point at a place, not to reproduce a show.
Common questions
Do I need a lawyer to send a notice?
No. A plain email from the rights holder is enough, and often works faster than a formal letter.
How quickly will you actually respond?
We check this inbox daily. Complete notices are actioned within two business days, usually sooner.
Will you argue with me?
No. If you hold the rights and you want something gone, we remove it. We may ask a clarifying question if the URL is unclear, but that is the extent of it.
What if I just want the credit fixed?
Say so. We will correct the attribution rather than take the image down, wherever that is what you would prefer.
Do you use images taken from other websites?
We do not knowingly do so. If you have found something that suggests otherwise, tell us — we will investigate and remove it if you are right.
Does this page cover text as well as images?
Yes. If you believe any text on this site reproduces your work without permission, use the same address and the same process.
