At present, its regional operating centers in North China, South China, Central China, and Northeast China as well as nearly 100 city operations centers have established and started operation.

Ma Heping, founder and president of Ly.com, said that in the future they will use the company's leisure tourism big data and mobile platform to help Meichen realize full upgrade of business model and high fusion of online and offline. They will copy this cooperation model to the entire country.
