Nothing triggers at the source spot
Check pending encounter slots, then check time/weather/story gates. The source says a failed time or weather arrival can start a real-world cooldown.

Kaifeng Encounter Trigger Ledger
A forum-style trigger ledger for Kaifeng encounters from the author corpus. Use it when an encounter will not appear, the time gate is unclear, or a CN source row needs Global proof before becoming a walkthrough.

Pinned trigger rule
If a Kaifeng encounter will not appear, check the gate before the route.
This source is valuable because it names trigger conditions, not just locations. The English page should preserve the checklist: pending encounter slots, story state, clock window, chance trigger, and cooldown risk.

Check pending encounter slots
The source warns that most pending encounters are limited, so a missing Kaifeng trigger may be a queue problem before it is a route problem.

Check time, weather, and story gates
Several rows depend on afternoon, night, You hour, late-day windows, main-story completion, stronghold clear, or achievement state.

Respect the cooldown
The source says arriving without the right time or weather can fail the trigger and start a real-world cooldown before the next attempt.

Treat probability as a hold
Some Kaifeng encounters are chance triggers. The English page should say what to check, not promise a guaranteed spawn.
ChanceNo guaranteeProof hold
The row says chance trigger
Do not treat it as broken after one pass. Mark the source row as probability-gated and capture the Global trigger proof later.
The quest depends on an earlier story beat
Use the source trigger as a checklist: Kaifeng main story, Kaifeng Volume IV, Ferryman, first-clear stronghold, Small Artisan achievement, or prior Fengmei task.
The clue is outside central Kaifeng
Keep the row in this Kaifeng ledger if the source article owns the trigger, but hand off map labels to Interactive Map before publishing coordinates.
Source desk
Twelve Kaifeng encounter rows, sorted by trigger risk.
