• Upload photos and mention a destination
• Say "用 travel-grid-generator 生成一张去[目的地]的九宫格"

Get the destination from user input. If not specified, ask:

• "请问您想去哪个目的地？例如：京都、伦敦、土耳其、巴黎、纽约..."

Step 3: Research Destination Landmarks

IMPORTANT: Before generating, search for 9 iconic locations/landmarks at the destination:

1. Use web_search to find: "{destination} 必去景点" or "{destination} top attractions Instagram spots"

2. Select 9 diverse locations:

   • 2-3 iconic landmarks (must-see spots)
   • 2-3 street/neighborhood scenes (local vibe)
   • 1-2 cafe/restaurant scenes (lifestyle)
   • 1-2 nature/outdoor scenes (if applicable)
   • 1 evening/night scene (for variety)

3. Create a scene list with specific poses and expressions for each

Step 4: Construct Prompt

Use the template below. Fill in:

• Character description from Step 1
