● "U.S. GAAP" refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States;

● "VIE" refers to variable interest entity, and "the VIE" refers to Nanjing Tuniu Technology Co., Ltd., or Nanjing Tuniu;

● "$," "dollars," "US$" or "U.S. dollars" refers to the legal currency of the United States; and

Our business is primarily conducted in China and almost all of our revenues are denominated in Renminbi. However, periodic reports made to shareholders will include current period amounts translated into U.S. dollars using the then current exchange rates, for the convenience of the readers. We make no representation that any Renminbi or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or Renminbi, as the case may be, at any particular rate, or at all. The PRC government imposes control over its foreign currency reserves in part through direct regulation of the conversion of Renminbi into foreign exchange and through restrictions on foreign trade. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from Renminbi to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to Renminbi in this annual report were made at a rate of RMB6.9931 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect as of December 31, 2025.

**FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION**

This annual report on Form 20-F contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations and views of future events. These statements are made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "future," "intend," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "is/are likely to" or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

● our goals and strategies;

● the expected growth of the online leisure travel market in China;

● our expectations regarding demand for our products and services;

● our expectations regarding our relationships with customers and travel suppliers;

● our ability to offer competitive travel products and services;

● our future business development, results of operations and financial condition;

● competition in our industry in China;

● government policies and regulations relating to our corporate structure, business and industry;

● the impact of health epidemics on our business operations, the travel industry and the economy of China and elsewhere generally;

● general economic and business condition in China and elsewhere; and

● assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing.

We would like to caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and you should read these statements in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors." Those risks are not exhaustive. We operate in a rapidly evolving environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is impossible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable law.

**Item 3.** **Key Information**

**Our Holding Company Structure and Contractual Arrangements with the VIE**

Tuniu Corporation is not an operating company in China but a Cayman Islands holding company with no equity ownership in the VIE. We conduct our business in China through (i) our PRC subsidiaries and (ii) the consolidated affiliated entities with which we have maintained contractual arrangements. PRC laws and regulations restrict and impose conditions on foreign investment in value-added telecommunication services and certain other businesses. Accordingly, we operate these businesses in China through the VIE, and such structure is used to provide investors with exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies where laws and regulations in China prohibit or restrict direct foreign investment in certain operating companies. Revenues contributed by the VIE accounted for 78.2%, 80.9% and 90.8% of our total revenues for the years of 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Holders of our ADSs hold equity interest in Tuniu Corporation, our Cayman Islands holding company, and do not have direct or indirect equity interest in the VIE, and may never directly hold equity interests in the VIE.

A series of contractual agreements, including powers of attorney, equity interest pledge agreement, cooperation agreement, purchase option agreement and shareholders' voting rights agreement, have been entered into by and among our wholly owned PRC subsidiary, Beijing Tuniu Technology Co., Ltd., or Beijing Tuniu, the VIE and its shareholders. As a result of the contractual arrangements, we are able to direct the activities of and derive economic benefits from the VIE. We are considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and we have consolidated the financial results of the VIE in our consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP for accounting purposes. Neither we nor our investors has an equity ownership in, direct foreign investment in, or control through such ownership or investment of, the VIE, and the contractual arrangements are not equivalent to an equity ownership in the business of the VIE. For more details of these contractual arrangements, see "Item 4. Information on the Company—C. Organizational Structure."

However, the contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct ownership and we may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations and rules regarding the status of our rights with respect to our contractual arrangements with the VIE and its shareholders. It is uncertain whether any new PRC laws or regulations relating to VIE structure will be adopted or if adopted, what they would provide. If we or the VIE is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant PRC authorities would have broad discretion to take action in dealing with such violations or failures. The PRC regulatory authorities could disallow the VIE structure, which would likely result in a material adverse change in our operations and cause our ADSs to decline significantly in value or become worthless. Our holding company, our PRC subsidiaries and the VIE, and investors of our company face uncertainty about potential future actions by the PRC government that could affect the enforceability of the contractual arrangements with the VIE and, consequently, significantly affect the financial performance of the VIE and our company as a whole. In addition, these agreements have not been tested in Chinese courts. For a detailed description of the risks associated with our corporate structure, please refer to risks disclosed under "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure."

The PRC government's significant authority in regulating our operations and its oversight and control over offerings conducted overseas by, and foreign investment in, China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors. The laws and regulations governing the internet industry in China are evolving, hence bringing uncertainties to their interpretation and enforcement. Implementation of industry-wide regulations, including data security or anti-monopoly related regulations, in this nature may cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. For more details, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—The PRC government's significant oversight over our business operation could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our ADSs."

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The PRC regulatory and enforcement regime with regard to data security and privacy is evolving and may be subject to different interpretations or significant changes without prior notice. In the event that any new development requires us to change our business operations relevant to data security, data privacy or cybersecurity in general, we cannot assure you that we can comply with such new requirements in a timely manner or at all. Rules in this regime include the PRC Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law released in 2021, which posed additional challenges to our cybersecurity and data privacy compliance. The Cybersecurity Review Measures promulgated in December 2021 imposed potential additional restrictions on China-based overseas-listed companies like us. If future implementing rules of the Cybersecurity Review Measures mandate clearance of cybersecurity review and other specific actions to be taken by issuers like us, we face uncertainties as to whether these additional procedures can be completed by us timely, or at all, which may subject us to government enforcement actions and investigations, fines, penalties, or suspension of our non-compliant operations, and materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations and the price of our ADSs. In September 2024, State Council released the Administrative Regulations on Cyber Data Security, which requires, among others, that a prior cybersecurity review should be required for cyber data processing activities which affects or may affect national security. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Our business generates and processes a large amount of data, and we are required to comply with PRC and other applicable laws relating to privacy and cybersecurity. The improper use or disclosure of data could have a material and adverse effect on our business and prospects."

In addition, on February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, and five guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023, requiring Chinese domestic companies' overseas offerings and listings of equity securities be filed with the CSRC. According to the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, if we are deemed as an indirect overseas listed Chinese domestic company but fail to complete the filing procedures with the CSRC for any of our future securities offerings and listings outside of mainland China, including but not limited to follow-on offerings, secondary listings and going-private transactions, or follow any other reporting requirements required thereunder, we may be subject to penalties, sanctions and fines imposed by the CSRC and the departments of the State Council, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our ADSs. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—The approval of or filing with the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our offshore offerings under PRC law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to obtain such approval or complete such filing."

Furthermore, the PRC regulators have promulgated new anti-monopoly and competition laws and regulations and strengthened the enforcement under these laws and regulations. There remain uncertainties as to how the laws, regulations and guidelines recently promulgated will be implemented and whether these laws, regulations and guidelines will have a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We cannot assure you that our business operations comply with such regulations and authorities' requirements in all respects. If any non-compliance is raised by relevant authorities and determined against us, we may be subject to fines and other penalties. See "Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors— Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with the anti-monopoly and unfair competition laws and regulations may result in penalties against us and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations."

Risks and uncertainties arising from the legal system in mainland China, including risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and quickly evolving rules and regulations in mainland China, could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our ADSs. With respect to the legal risks associated with being based in and having operations in mainland China, the laws, regulations and the discretion of PRC government authorities discussed in this annual report are expected to apply to mainland China entities and businesses, rather than entities or businesses in Hong Kong and Macau, which operate under different sets of laws from mainland China. As of the date of this annual report, regulatory actions related to data security or anti-monopoly concerns in Hong Kong and Macau do not have a material impact on our ability to conduct business, accept foreign investment in the future or continue to list on a United States stock exchange. However, the PRC government may influence our operations in Hong Kong and Macau at any time and new regulatory actions related to data security or anti-monopoly concerns in Hong Kong or Macau may be taken in the future, which may have a material impact on our ability to conduct business, accept foreign investment or continue to list on a United States stock exchange. For more details, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China— Uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us." These risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our ADSs, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to offer securities to investors, or cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. For a detailed description of risks related to doing business in China, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China."

**Permissions Required from the PRC Authorities for Our Operations**

We conduct our business in China through our subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. After consulting our PRC legal counsel, Fangda Partners, we believe, as of the date of this annual report, except as otherwise stated in "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—We may be adversely affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in PRC regulations of internet and related business and companies," our PRC subsidiaries and the VIE have obtained all the requisite licenses and permits from the PRC government authorities for the business operations of our PRC subsidiaries and the VIE in China, including, among others, Value-Added Telecommunication Business Operating License issued by the local bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Food Business License issued by Jizhou Branch of Tianjin Administration for Market Regulation, Filing Certificates for Operation of Prepacked Food issued by Xuanwu Branch of Nanjing Administration for Market Regulation, Travel Agency Business Licenses issued by the local bureaus of and/or the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, approvals for Operation of Small Credit Business issued by the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Finance, Insurance Intermediary License issued by the local bureau of the National Financial Regulatory Administration, and Hotel Hygiene License issued by the local bureau of the National Health Commission. Our PRC subsidiaries, the VIE and the VIE's subsidiaries have not been denied any permission or approval by any PRC authority as of the date of this annual report. Given the uncertainties of interpretation and implementation of relevant laws and regulations and the enforcement practice by relevant government authorities, we may be required to obtain additional licenses, permits, filings or approvals for the functions and services of our platform in the future. If our PRC subsidiaries, the VIE or the VIE's subsidiaries do not receive or maintain any necessary permissions or approvals, inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or if applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the necessary permissions or approvals in a timely manner, or at all, and such approvals may be rescinded even if obtained. Any such circumstance could subject us to penalties, including fines, suspension of business and revocation of required licenses, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. For more detailed information, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—We may be adversely affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in PRC regulations of internet and related business and companies."

Furthermore, in connection with our previous issuance of securities to foreign investors, under the currently effective PRC laws and regulations, as of the date of this annual report, we are not aware of, after consulting our PRC legal counsel, Fangda Partners, any PRC laws or regulations which explicitly require us to obtain any permission from or complete any filing with the CSRC or go through a cybersecurity review by the Cyberspace Administration of China, and we, our PRC subsidiaries and the VIE, (i) have not received any requirement from competent PRC authorities to obtain permissions from the CSRC, (ii) have not received any requirement from competent PRC authorities to go through cybersecurity review by the Cyberspace Administration of China, and (iii) have not received or were denied such requisite permissions by any PRC authority.

However, the PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers. For more detailed information, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—The approval of or filing with the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our offshore offerings under PRC law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to obtain such approval or complete such filing."

**The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act**

Pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, if the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspections by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, for two consecutive years, the SEC will prohibit our shares or the ADSs from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report to notify the SEC of its determination that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, including our auditor. In May 2022, the SEC conclusively listed us as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA following the filing of our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December 16, 2021 determination and removed mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms. As of the date of this annual report, the PCAOB has not issued any new determination that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in any jurisdiction. For this reason, we were not identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA after we filed our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, 2024 or 2025, and we do not expect to be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA after we file this annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Each year, the PCAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate completely audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, among other jurisdictions. If the PCAOB determines in the future that it no longer has full access to inspect and investigate completely accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong and we continue to use an accounting firm headquartered in one of these jurisdictions to issue an audit report on our financial statements filed with the SEC, we would be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer following the filing of the annual report on Form 20-F for the relevant fiscal year. There can be no assurance that we would not be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for any future fiscal year, and if we were so identified for two consecutive years, we would become subject to the prohibition on trading under the HFCAA. For more details, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—The PCAOB had historically been unable to inspect our auditor in relation to their audit work performed for our financial statements and the inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of our auditor in the past has deprived our investors with the benefits of such inspections" and "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Our ADSs may be prohibited from trading in the United States under the HFCAA in the future if the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely auditors located in China. The delisting of the ADSs, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment."

**Cash Flows through Our Organization**

Tuniu Corporation is a holding company with no operations of its own. We conduct our business in China through our subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities in China. As a result, although other means are available for us to obtain financing at the holding company level, Tuniu Corporation's ability to pay dividends to the shareholders and to service any debt it may incur may depend upon dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries and license and service fees paid by the VIE. If any of our subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends to Tuniu Corporation. In addition, our PRC subsidiaries are permitted to pay dividends to Tuniu Corporation only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Further, our PRC subsidiaries and VIE are required to make appropriations to certain statutory reserve funds or may make appropriations to certain discretionary funds, which are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of a solvent liquidation of the companies. For more details, see "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Holding Company Structure."

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Under PRC laws and regulations, our PRC subsidiaries and the VIE are subject to certain restrictions with respect to paying dividends or otherwise transferring any of their net assets to us. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned enterprise out of mainland China is also subject to examination by the banks designated by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. Our PRC subsidiaries have not paid dividends and will not be able to pay dividends until they generate accumulated profits and meet the requirements for statutory reserve funds. Furthermore, cash transfers from our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities to entities outside of mainland China are subject to PRC governmental control on currency conversion. As a result, the funds in our PRC subsidiaries or the consolidated affiliated entities in mainland China may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of mainland China due to the interventions in, or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on, the ability of our holding company, our subsidiaries, or the consolidated affiliated entities by the PRC government on such currency conversion. As of the date of this annual report, there is no equivalent or similar restriction or limitation in Hong Kong or Macau on cash transfers in, or out of, our Hong Kong entities. However, if certain restrictions or limitations in mainland China were to become applicable to cash transfers in and out of Hong Kong entities in the future, the funds in our Hong Kong entities may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong. For risks relating to the fund flows of our operations in China, see "Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Our subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities in China are subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to our holding company, which may restrict our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements" and "Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—PRC regulation of direct investment and loans by offshore holding companies to PRC entities and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or limit us from using the proceeds of our financing activities, or making additional capital contributions or loans to our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business."

For purposes of illustration, the following discussion reflects the hypothetical taxes that might be required to be paid within China, assuming that: (i) we have taxable earnings, and (ii) we determine to pay dividends in the future.

|:---|:---|
|  | **Tax calculation** <sup>(1)</sup> |
| Hypothetical pre-tax earnings | 100% |
| Tax on earnings at statutory rate of 25% <sup>(2)</sup> | (25)% |
| Net earnings available for distribution | 75% |
| Withholding tax at standard rate of 10% <sup>(3)</sup> | (7.5)% |
| Net distribution to Parent/Shareholders | 67.5% |

---

Notes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) For purposes of this example, the tax calculation has been simplified. The hypothetical book pre-tax earnings amount, not considering timing differences, is assumed to equal taxable income in China.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Certain of our subsidiaries qualify for a 15% preferential income tax rate in China. For purposes of this hypothetical example, the table above reflects a maximum tax scenario under which the full statutory rate would be effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside of mainland China. A lower withholding income tax rate of 5% is applied if the foreign invested enterprise's immediate holding company is registered in Hong Kong or other jurisdictions that have a tax treaty arrangement with mainland China, subject to a qualification review at the time of the distribution. For purposes of this hypothetical example, the table above assumes a maximum tax scenario under which the full withholding tax would be applied.

Under PRC law, Tuniu Corporation may provide funding to our PRC subsidiaries only through capital contributions or loans, and to the VIE only through loans, subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration and approval requirements. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, Tuniu Corporation did not make any capital contribution to our intermediate holding companies and subsidiaries. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our intermediate holding companies and subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities received no capital contribution or loan investment from Tuniu Corporation. The VIE and its subsidiaries repaid financing from external banks for their operations with the amount of RMB21.0 million and nil for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2025, respectively, and obtained financing with the amount of RMB1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In March 2025, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of US$0.012 per ordinary share to holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs of record as of the close of business on March 27, 2025. In March 2026, our board of directors approved a three-year shareholder return plan, under which we may, during the three-year period from the date of approval, (i) declare and distribute cash dividends of no more than US$30 million and (ii) repurchase of our Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs of no more than US$20 million. Under the shareholder return plan, our board of directors reserves the discretion to determine the form, timing, and amount of the capital return measures based on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other relevant factors. In the same month, pursuant to this shareholder return plan, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of US$0.0399 per ordinary share to holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs of record as of the close of business on May 4, 2026. See "Item 8. Financial Information—A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividend Policy." For PRC and United States federal income tax considerations of an investment in our ADSs, see "Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation."

**Summary of Risk Factors**

Investing in our ADSs involves significant risks. You should carefully consider all of the information in this annual report before making an investment in our ADSs. Below is a summary of material risks we face, organized under relevant headings. The operational risks associated with being based in and having operations in mainland China could also apply to operations in Hong Kong and Macau. While entities and businesses in Hong Kong and Macau operate under different sets of laws from mainland China, the legal risks associated with being based in and having operations in mainland China could apply to our operations in Hong Kong and Macau, if the laws applicable to mainland China become applicable to entities and businesses in Hong Kong and Macau in the future. These risks are discussed more fully in Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure***

● Tuniu Corporation is a Cayman Islands holding company with no equity ownership in the VIE, and we conduct our operations in China primarily through (i) our PRC subsidiaries and (ii) the VIE with which we have maintained contractual arrangements. Holders of our ADSs hold equity interest in Tuniu Corporation, our Cayman Islands holding company, and do not have direct or indirect equity interest in the VIE. If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating some of our business operations in China do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the industries we operate in, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we and the VIE could be subject to severe penalties, or be forced to relinquish our interest in those operations. Our holding company in the Cayman Islands, the VIE, and investors of Tuniu face uncertainty about potential future actions by the PRC government that could affect the enforceability of the contractual arrangements with the VIE and, consequently, significantly affect the financial performance of the VIE and our company as a whole. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure—We rely on contractual arrangements with Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders for the operation of our business, which may not be as effective as direct ownership. If Nanjing Tuniu or its shareholders fail to perform their obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may have to resort to litigation or arbitration to enforce our rights, which may be time-consuming, unpredictable, expensive and damaging to our operations and reputation. If we are unable to direct the activities of and derive economic benefits from the VIE, we would not be able to continue to consolidate the financial results of the consolidated affiliated entities with our financial results."

● Substantial uncertainties and restrictions exist with respect to the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations relating to restrictions on foreign investment in value-added telecommunications and travel companies in China. Consequently, we conduct our businesses that are subject to restrictions under PRC value-added telecommunications laws and regulations primarily through the VIE. If the VIE structure, the businesses of our company, our PRC subsidiaries or the consolidated affiliated entities are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, or if we fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, we could be subject to severe penalties, including but not limited to revoking licenses necessary to conduct our business, shutting down of our online platform, discontinuing or placing restrictions or onerous conditions on our operations and requiring us to undergo a costly and disruptive restructuring, which would in turn materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure—Substantial uncertainties and restrictions exist with respect to the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations relating to restrictions on foreign investment in value-added telecommunications and travel companies in China. If the PRC government determines that the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure do not comply with PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to severe penalties, including shutting down of our online platform, and our ADSs may decline in value or become worthless."

● Substantial uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of adopted PRC Foreign Investment Law and its implementation rules and how they may impact the viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure—Substantial uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of adopted PRC Foreign Investment Law and its implementation rules and how they may impact the viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations."

***Risks Related to Doing Business in China***

● Risks and uncertainties arising from the legal system in China, including risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and quickly evolving rules and regulations in China, could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our ADSs. For more details, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us" and "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—We may be adversely affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in PRC regulations of internet and related business and companies." The approval of or filing with the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our offshore offerings under PRC law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to obtain such approval or complete such filing. Any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining such approval for our offshore offerings, or a rescission of obtained approval, would subject us to sanctions imposed by the CSRC or other PRC government authorities. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—The approval of or filing with the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our offshore offerings under PRC law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to obtain such approval or complete such filing."

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

● Our ADSs may be prohibited from trading in the United States under the HFCAA in the future if the PCAOB is unable to inspect or fully investigate auditors located in China. The PCAOB had historically been unable to inspect our auditor in relation to their audit work performed for our financial statements and the inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of our auditor in the past has deprived our investors with the benefits of such inspections. The delisting of our ADSs, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—The PCAOB had historically been unable to inspect our auditor in relation to their audit work performed for our financial statements and the inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of our auditor in the past has deprived our investors with the benefits of such inspections." t and "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Our ADSs may be prohibited from trading in the United States under the HFCAA in the future if the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely auditors located in China. The delisting of the ADSs, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment."

● The PRC government's significant authority in regulating our operations and its oversight and control over offerings conducted overseas by, and foreign investment in, China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors. Implementation of industry-wide regulations in this nature may cause the value of such securities to significantly decline. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—The PRC government's significant oversight over our business operation could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our ADSs."

● PRC regulation of direct investment and loans by offshore holding companies to PRC entities and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or limit us from using the proceeds of our financing activities, or making additional capital contributions or loans to our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—PRC regulation of direct investment and loans by offshore holding companies to PRC entities and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or limit us from using the proceeds of our financing activities, or making additional capital contributions or loans to our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business."

***Risks Related to Our Business and Industry***

● Declines or disruptions in the leisure travel industry may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

● We face risks related to natural disasters and health epidemics.

● If we do not continue to provide competitive travel products and services, we may not be able to attract new customers or retain existing customers, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

● Failure to maintain the quality of customer services could harm our reputation and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

● We incurred losses in the past and may not be able to maintain profitability.

● We face intense competition and may not be able to compete successfully against existing and new competitors.

● Our business generates and processes a large amount of data, and we are required to comply with PRC and other applicable laws relating to privacy and cybersecurity. The improper use or disclosure of data could have a material and adverse effect on our business and prospects.

● If we are unable to maintain existing relationships with travel suppliers, or develop relationships with new travel suppliers on favorable terms or terms similar to those we currently have, our business and results of operations may suffer.

● We may be subject to legal or administrative proceedings regarding our travel products and services, information provided on our online platform or other aspects of our business operations, which may be time-consuming to defend and affect our reputation.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Risks Related to our ADSs and Class A Ordinary Shares***

● Our ADSs may be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market as a result of our failure of meeting the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing requirements.

● The trading price of our ADSs have fluctuated and may continue to be volatile regardless of our operating performance.

● Our dual class share structure with different voting rights will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any change of control transactions that holders of our Class A ordinary shares and ADSs may view as beneficial.

● The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs could adversely affect their market price.

**Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure**

***Uncertainties and restrictions exist with respect to the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations relating to restrictions on foreign investment in value-added telecommunications and travel companies in China. If the PRC government determines that the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure do not comply with PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to severe penalties, including shutting down of our online platform, and our ADSs may decline in value or become worthless.***

Foreign ownership of internet-based businesses is subject to significant restrictions under current PRC laws and regulations. The PRC government regulates internet access, the distribution of online information and the conduct of online commerce through strict business licensing requirements and other government regulations. These laws and regulations include limitations on foreign ownership in PRC companies that provide internet content distribution services. Specifically, foreign investors are prohibited from owning more than 50% of the equity interest in any PRC entity conducting value-added telecommunications business, with certain exceptions. Regulations on foreign investment in telecommunications business require foreign investors to set up foreign-invested telecom enterprises and obtain business operating licenses for internet content provision, or an ICP license, to conduct any value-added telecommunications business in China. A domestic company that holds an ICP license is prohibited from leasing, transferring or selling the license to foreign investors in any form, and from providing any assistance, including providing resources, sites or facilities, to foreign investors that conduct value-added telecommunications business illegally in China. Furthermore, the trademarks and domain names that are used in the value-added telecommunications business must be owned by the domestic ICP license holder or its shareholders. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Regulations on Value-Added Telecommunication Services" and "—Foreign Investment in Value-Added Telecommunications Services."

We are a Cayman Islands company and our wholly owned PRC subsidiary, Beijing Tuniu, is a foreign invested enterprise. To comply with PRC laws and regulations, we conduct our business in China through a series of contractual arrangements entered into among Beijing Tuniu, Nanjing Tuniu, and the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu. As a result of these contractual arrangements, we are able to direct the activities of and derive economic benefits from Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries and consolidate their results of operations in our financial statements under U.S. GAAP. Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries hold our ICP licenses, and own all the domain names used in our value-added telecommunications business. Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries are also the owners of all the registered trademarks used in our value-added telecommunications business and are the applicants of all the applications for trademark registration we have made. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—C. Organizational Structure." There is uncertainty as to how the aforementioned laws and regulations affect us as a result of our corporate structure and contractual arrangements.

In the opinion of our PRC counsel, Fangda Partners, the organizational structure of Nanjing Tuniu, each of the shareholders' voting rights agreement, powers of attorney, equity interest pledge agreement and purchase option agreement entered into among Beijing Tuniu, Nanjing Tuniu and the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu, and the cooperation agreement between Beijing Tuniu and Nanjing Tuniu, which establish our contractual arrangement with Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders, are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms. However, as of the date of this annual report, the legality and enforceability of our contractual arrangements, as a whole, have not been tested in any PRC court, and we cannot guarantee you that the contractual arrangements, as a whole, would ultimately be legal or enforceable if they were to be tested in a PRC court. We are also advised by our PRC counsel, Fangda Partners, that there are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current or future PRC laws and regulations and there can be no assurance that the PRC government will ultimately take a view that is consistent with the opinion of our PRC counsel stated above.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

If the VIE structure, contractual arrangements and business of our company, our PRC subsidiaries or the consolidated affiliated entities are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, or we fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant government authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violations, including levying fines, confiscating our income or the income of our PRC subsidiaries or the consolidated affiliated entities, revoking the business licenses or operating licenses of our PRC subsidiaries or the consolidated affiliated entities, shutting down our servers or blocking our online platform, discontinuing or placing restrictions or onerous conditions on our operations, requiring us to undergo a costly and disruptive restructuring, restricting or prohibiting our use of proceeds from our financing activities, such as our private placements, to finance our business and operations in China, and taking other regulatory or enforcement actions that could be harmful to our business. Any of these actions could cause significant disruption to our business operations and severely damage our reputation, which would in turn materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If the PRC government determines that the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure do not comply with PRC laws and regulations, or if these regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future, our ADSs may decline in value or become worthless if we are unable to assert our contractual control rights over the assets of the VIE. If any of these occurrences result in our inability to direct the activities of any of the consolidated affiliated entities that most significantly impact its economic performance, and/or our failure to receive the economic benefits from any of the consolidated affiliated entities, we may not be able to consolidate the entity in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

***Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of adopted PRC Foreign Investment Law and its implementation rules and how they may impact the viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations.***

The "variable interest entity" structure, or VIE structure, has been adopted by many PRC-based companies, including us, to obtain and maintain necessary licenses and permits in industries that are currently subject to foreign investment restrictions in China. See "—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure—Uncertainties and restrictions exist with respect to the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations relating to restrictions on foreign investment in value-added telecommunications and travel companies in China. If the PRC government determines that the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure do not comply with PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to severe penalties, including shutting down of our online platform, and our ADSs may decline in value or become worthless" and "Item 4. Information on the Company—C. Organizational Structure." Pursuant to the PRC Foreign Investment Law, "foreign investments" refer to investment activities conducted by foreign investors (including foreign natural persons, foreign enterprises or other foreign organizations) directly or "indirectly" in the PRC, which include any of the following circumstances: (i) foreign investors setting up foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC solely or jointly with other investors, (ii) foreign investors obtaining shares, equity interests, property portions or other similar rights and interests of enterprises within the PRC, (iii) foreign investors investing in new projects in the PRC solely or jointly with other investors, and (iv) investment in other methods as specified in laws and administrative regulations, or as stipulated by the State Council. The PRC Foreign Investment Law and its implementation rules do not use the concept of "control" in determining whether a company should be considered as a foreign-invested enterprise, nor do they explicitly provide the VIE structure as a method of foreign investment. However, the PRC Foreign Investment Law has a catch-all provision that includes into the definition of "foreign investments" made by foreign investors in China in other methods as specified in laws, administrative regulations, or as stipulated by the State Council. Since the PRC Foreign Investment Law and its implementation rules are relatively new, and the government authorities may promulgate future laws, regulations or rules on the interpretation and implementation of the PRC Foreign Investment Law, it is possible that the concept of "control" may be introduced or the VIE structure adopted by us may be deemed a method of foreign investment by any of such future laws, regulations and rules, which cause significant uncertainties as to whether the VIE structures would be treated as a method of foreign investment. If the VIE structure would be deemed as a method of foreign investment under any of such future laws, regulations and rules, and any of our businesses operations would fall under the "negative list" for foreign investment that is subject to any foreign investment restrictions or prohibitions, we would be required to take further actions to comply with such laws, regulations and rules, which may materially and adversely affect our current corporate structure, corporate governance, business, financial conditions and results of operations. Furthermore, if future laws, administrative regulations or rules mandate further actions to be taken by companies with respect to existing contractual arrangements, we may face uncertainties as to whether we are able to complete such actions in a timely manner, or at all. Failure to take timely and appropriate measures to respond to any of these or similar regulatory compliance challenges could materially and adversely affect our current corporate structure, business, financial condition and results of operations.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The PRC Foreign Investment Law requires foreign investors or applicable foreign investment enterprises to report investment information to government authority. Pursuant to the Information Reporting Measures for Foreign Investment jointly promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce and the State Administration for Market Regulation, or the SAMR, which took effect in January 2020, a foreign investment information reporting system shall be established and foreign investors or foreign investment enterprises shall report investment information to competent commerce departments of the government through the enterprise registration system and the enterprise credit information publicity system. The PRC government authorities may promulgate rules to further clarify the detailed information reporting requirements on foreign investors and the applicable foreign investment enterprises. In that case, our current corporate governance practices and business operations may need to be adjusted to comply with the information reporting requirements, which would significantly increase our compliance costs, and have a material and adverse effect on our current corporate structure, corporate governance, business, financial conditions and results of operations. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Foreign Investment in Value-Added Telecommunications Services."

***We rely on contractual arrangements with Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders for the operation of our business, which may not be as effective as direct ownership. If Nanjing Tuniu or its shareholders fail to perform their obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may have to resort to litigation or arbitration to enforce our rights, which may be time-consuming, unpredictable, expensive and damaging to our operations and reputation. If we are unable to direct the activities of and derive economic benefits from the VIE, we would not be able to continue to consolidate the financial results of the consolidated affiliated entities with our financial results.***

Although we have been advised by our PRC counsel, Fangda Partners, that our contractual arrangements with Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders did not and does not result in any violation of current PRC laws and these agreements are valid, binding and enforceable, these contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing control as direct ownership. If Nanjing Tuniu or its shareholders fail to perform their obligations under the contractual arrangements, we may have to incur substantial costs and expend additional resources to enforce such arrangements. We may also have to rely on legal remedies under contract law, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief and claiming damages, which we cannot assure you will be effective. For example, if the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu refuse to transfer their equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu to us or our designee when we exercise the purchase option pursuant to these contractual arrangements, or if they otherwise act in bad faith toward us, then we may have to take legal actions to compel them to perform their contractual obligations. Furthermore, while the company chops of Nanjing Tuniu are held by its legal and accounting departments, our ability to ensure its performance under the contractual agreements may be limited if we are unable to secure control of the company chops in the event of a dispute with its management or shareholders, as many official documents require the affixation of company chops to become fully effective. If we were the controlling shareholder of Nanjing Tuniu with direct ownership, we would be able to exercise our rights as shareholders to effect changes to its board of directors, which in turn could implement changes at the management and operational level.

All the agreements under our contractual arrangements are governed by PRC laws and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC laws and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. There remain significant uncertainties regarding how our contractual arrangements would be interpreted under PRC laws and the ultimate outcome of the resolution of disputes in relation to such contractual arrangements, should arbitration become necessary. Therefore, our ability to enforce these contractual arrangements is subject to uncertainties. Under PRC laws, if the losing parties fail to carry out the arbitration awards within a prescribed time limit, the prevailing parties may only enforce the arbitration awards in PRC courts through arbitration award recognition proceedings, which would require additional expenses and delay. In the event we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, we may not be able to direct the activities of and derive economic benefits from Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders. As a result, our ability to conduct our business may be negatively affected and we would not be able to continue to consolidate the financial results of the consolidated affiliated entities with our financial results.

***The shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu may have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.***

We have designated individuals who are PRC nationals to be the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu. The equity interests of Nanjing Tuniu are held by Messrs. Dunde Yu and Anqiang Chen. The interests of these individuals as the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu may differ from the interests of our company as a whole. These shareholders may breach, or cause Nanjing Tuniu to breach, the existing contractual arrangements we have with them and Nanjing Tuniu, which would have a material and adverse effect on our ability to effectively control Nanjing Tuniu. We cannot assure you that when conflicts of interest arise, any or all of these shareholders will act in the best interests of our company or such conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Currently, we do not have any arrangements to address potential conflicts of interest between these shareholders and our company, except that we could exercise our purchase option under the purchase option agreement with these shareholders to request them to transfer all of their equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu to a PRC entity or individual designated by us, to the extent permitted by PRC laws. We rely on Mr. Dunde Yu, who is our founder, director and beneficial owner, Mr. Anqiang Chen, who is our Financial Controller, to abide by the PRC laws and regulations. If we cannot resolve any conflict of interest or dispute between us and the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in disruption of our business and subject us to substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.

***Our contractual arrangements with Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders may be subject to scrutiny by the PRC tax authorities, and a finding that we owe additional taxes could substantially increase our consolidated net loss and reduce the value of your investment.***

Under PRC laws and regulations, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the PRC tax authorities. We could face material and adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that the contractual arrangements among Beijing Tuniu, Nanjing Tuniu and the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu are not conducted on an arm's length basis and make transfer pricing adjustment to Nanjing Tuniu's income. A transfer pricing adjustment could, among other things, result in a reduction, of expense deductions recorded by Nanjing Tuniu, which could in turn increase its tax liabilities. In addition, the PRC tax authorities may impose late payment fees and other penalties to Nanjing Tuniu for under-paid taxes. Our consolidated net loss may be increased if our tax liabilities increase or if we are found to be subject to late payment fees or other penalties.

***If Nanjing Tuniu becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or liquidation proceeding, we may lose the ability to use and enjoy its assets, which could materially and adversely affect our business.***

To comply with PRC laws and regulations relating to foreign ownership restrictions in the online value-added telecommunications business, we hold our ICP license and operate our business through contractual arrangements with Nanjing Tuniu as well as its shareholders. As part of these arrangements, Nanjing Tuniu holds assets that are important to the operation of our business.

We do not have priority pledges or liens over Nanjing Tuniu's assets. This lack of priority pledges and liens holds risks in the event Nanjing Tuniu becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or liquidation proceeding. If Nanjing Tuniu undergoes an involuntary liquidation proceeding, third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of its assets and we may not have priority against such third-party creditors on Nanjing Tuniu's assets. If Nanjing Tuniu undergoes voluntary liquidation, we may take part in the liquidation procedures as a general creditor under the PRC Enterprise Bankruptcy Law and recover any outstanding liabilities owed by Nanjing Tuniu to Beijing Tuniu under the cooperation agreement between them. To ameliorate the risks of an involuntary liquidation proceeding initiated by a third-party creditor, we closely monitor the operations and finances of Nanjing Tuniu through carefully designed budgetary and internal control measures to ensure that Nanjing Tuniu is well capitalized. Furthermore, Beijing Tuniu has the ability, if necessary, to provide financial support to Nanjing Tuniu to minimize the risk of such involuntary liquidation. We believe the likelihood that Nanjing Tuniu will undergo an involuntary liquidation is remote as a result of these ameliorating measures. However, we cannot assure you that our ameliorating measures will be effective and that the risks associated with such liquidation will not materialize.

If the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu were to attempt to voluntarily liquidate Nanjing Tuniu without obtaining our prior consent, we could effectively prevent such unauthorized voluntary liquidation by exercising our right to request Nanjing Tuniu's shareholders to transfer all of their equity interests to a PRC entity or individual designated by us in accordance with the purchase option agreement with the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu, to the extent permitted by PRC laws. In the event that the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu initiate a voluntary liquidation proceeding without our authorization or attempt to distribute the retained earnings or assets of Nanjing Tuniu without our prior consent, we may need to resort to legal proceedings to enforce the terms of the contractual agreements. Any such legal proceeding may be costly and may divert our management's time and attention away from the operation of our business, and the outcome of such legal proceeding would be uncertain.

**Risks Related to Doing Business in China** 

***The approval of or filing with the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our offshore offerings under PRC law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to obtain such approval or complete such filing.***

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies in 2006 and amended in 2009, requires an overseas special purpose vehicle formed for listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle's securities on an overseas stock exchange. However, uncertainties remain regarding the interpretation and application of the M&A Rules, and our offshore offerings, including our initial public offering, may ultimately require approval of the CSRC. Our PRC counsel, Fangda Partners, has advised us that, based on its understanding of the current PRC laws, rules and regulations, we are not required to submit an application to the CSRC for its approval of the initial public offering and listing of our ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Market, because:

● the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like our initial public offering are subject to CSRC's approval under the M&A Rules;

● our wholly owned PRC subsidiaries were established by means of foreign direct investment, rather than through a merger or acquisition of domestic companies, as defined under the M&A Rules; and

● there is no provision in the M&A Rules that explicitly classifies contractual arrangements as a type of transaction subject to the M&A Rules.

If the CSRC approval is required, it is uncertain whether we can or how long it will take us to obtain the approval and, even if we obtain such CSRC approval, the approval could be rescinded. Any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining the CSRC approval for any of our offshore offerings, or a rescission of such approval if obtained by us, would subject us to sanctions imposed by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory authorities, which could include fines and penalties on our operations in China, restrictions or limitations on our ability to pay dividends outside of mainland China, and other forms of sanctions that may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, and five guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023, requiring Chinese domestic companies' overseas offerings and listings of equity securities be filed with the CSRC. The Overseas Listing Trial Measures provide, among others, that Chinese domestic companies that have already directly or indirectly offered and listed securities in overseas markets prior to the effectiveness of the Overseas Listing Trial Measures shall fulfil their filing obligations and report their information to the CSRC within three working days after conducting securities offerings and listings outside of mainland China. There are uncertainties as to the interpretation and implementation of the Overseas Listing Trial Measures. We cannot assure you that we would not be deemed as an indirect overseas listed Chinese company under the Overseas Listing Trial Measures. If we are deemed as an indirect overseas listed Chinese company but fail to complete the filing procedures with the CSRC for any of our future securities offerings and listings outside of mainland China, sanctions and fines imposed by the CSRC and relevant departments of the State Council. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Regulations on Overseas Offering and Listing.". Due to our operations in China and listing in U.S., the Overseas Listing Trial Measures and any future PRC, U.S. or other rules and regulations that place restrictions on capital raising could adversely affect our business and results of operations and could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our ADSs or ordinary shares to investors, and could cause the value of our ADSs or ordinary shares to significantly decline or become worthless.

Relatedly, On September 6, 2024, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the Special Administrative Measures (Negative List) for Foreign Investment Access (2024 Version), or the 2024 Negative List, which became effective on November 1, 2024. Pursuant to the 2024 Negative List, if a domestic company engaging in the prohibited business stipulated in the 2024 Negative List seeks an overseas offering and listing, it shall obtain the approval from the competent government authorities. Besides, the foreign investors of the company shall not be involved in the company's operation and management, and their shareholding percentage shall be subject, mutatis mutandis, to the regulations on the domestic securities investments by foreign investors. There remain substantial uncertainties as to the interpretation and implementation of these requirements, and it is unclear as to whether and to what extent listed companies like us will be subject to these new requirements. If we are required to comply with these requirements and fail to do so on a timely basis, if at all, our business operations, financial conditions and business prospects may be adversely and materially affected.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

In addition, we cannot assure you that any new rules or regulations promulgated in the future will not impose additional requirements on us. If other approval and filing from the CSRC or other regulatory authorities or other procedures are required for our future offshore offerings, it is uncertain whether we can or how long it will take us to obtain such approvals or complete such filing procedures and any such approval or filing could be rescinded or rejected. Any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining such approvals or completing such filing procedures for our future offshore offerings, or a rescission of any such approval or filing if obtained by us, would subject us to sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory authorities. These regulatory authorities may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside of mainland China, limit our operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from our future offshore offerings into mainland China, halt our future offshore offering or take other actions that could materially and adversely affect our businesses, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects, as well as the trading price of our ADSs. In addition, if the CSRC or other regulatory authorities later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals or accomplish the required filing or other regulatory procedures for our prior offshore offerings, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties or negative publicity regarding such requirement could materially and adversely affect our business, prospect, financial condition, reputation, and the trading price of our ADSs. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Regulations on Information Security and Censorship" for more detailed discussion.

Our PRC counsel has advised us based on their understanding of the current PRC laws, rules and regulations that no permission is required from any Chinese authorities (including the CSRC and the Cyberspace Administration of China) for our previous offshore offerings as of the date of this annual report. There can be no assurance that the PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as our PRC counsel.

***The PCAOB had historically been unable to inspect our auditor in relation to their audit work performed for our financial statements and the inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of our auditor in the past has deprived our investors with the benefits of such inspections.***

Our auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this annual report, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. The auditor is located in mainland China, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB was historically unable to conduct inspections and investigations completely before 2022. As a result, we and investors in the ADSs were deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China in the past has made it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our independent registered public accounting firm's audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to the PCAOB inspections. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December 16, 2021 determination and removed mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms. However, if the PCAOB determines in the future that it no longer has full access to inspect and investigate completely accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, and we use an accounting firm headquartered in one of these jurisdictions to issue an audit report on our financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we and investors in our ADSs would be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections again, which could cause investors and potential investors in the ADSs to lose confidence in our audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements.

***Our ADSs may be prohibited from trading in the United States under the HFCAA in the future if the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely auditors located in China. The delisting of the ADSs, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.***

Pursuant to the HFCAA, if the SEC determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspections by the PCAOB for two consecutive years, the SEC will prohibit our shares or ADSs from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report to notify the SEC of its determination that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, and our auditor was subject to that determination. In May 2022, the SEC conclusively listed us as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA following the filing of our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB removed mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms. As of the date of this annual report, the PCAOB has not issued any new determination that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in any jurisdiction. For this reason, we were not identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA after we filed our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, 2023 or 2024, and we do not expect to be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA after we file this annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Each year, the PCAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate completely audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, among other jurisdictions. If the PCAOB determines in the future that it no longer has full access to inspect and investigate completely accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong and we use an accounting firm headquartered in one of these jurisdictions to issue an audit report on our financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we would be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer following the filing of the annual report on Form 20-F for the relevant fiscal year. In accordance with the HFCAA, our securities would be prohibited from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States if we are identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for two consecutive years in the future. If our shares and ADSs are prohibited from trading in the United States, there is no certainty that we will be able to list on a non-U.S. exchange or that a market for our shares will develop outside of the United States. Such a prohibition would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our ADSs when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our ADSs. Also, such a prohibition would significantly affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and prospects.

***Uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us.***

The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which legal cases have limited value as precedents. In the late 1970s, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past three decades has significantly increased the protections afforded to various forms of foreign or private-sector investment in China. Our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities are subject to various PRC laws and regulations generally applicable to companies in China. However, since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules are still evolving and subject to change.

From time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in other jurisdictions. Furthermore, the PRC legal system is partly influenced by government policies and internal rules (some of which may be subject to changes from time to time and may be issued without advance notice). As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. Such uncertainties, including uncertainty over the scope and effect of our contractual, property (including intellectual property) and procedural rights, and any failure to respond to changes in the regulatory environment in China could materially and adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***We may be adversely affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in PRC regulations of internet, tourism,and related business and companies.***

The PRC government regulates the internet, tourism and related industry extensively, including foreign ownership of, and the licensing and permit requirements pertaining to, companies in the internet industry. These laws and regulations in relation to internet and tourism are evolving, and their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty. As a result, under certain circumstances it may be difficult to determine what actions or omissions may be deemed to be violations of applicable laws and regulations. Issues, risks and uncertainties relating to PRC government regulation of the internet industry include, but are not limited to, the following:

● We only have contractual control over our websites. We do not own the websites due to the restriction of foreign investment in businesses providing value-added telecommunications services in China, including online information services.

● The licensing requirements relating to the internet business in China are rapidly evolving and are therefore subject to uncertainties. This means that permits, licenses or operations at some of our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities may be subject to challenges, or we may not be able to obtain or renew certain permits or licenses. Violation of the laws and regulations governing these licenses, approvals, filings or qualifications may result in penalties and even suspension or revocation of the licenses, approvals, filings or qualifications. Failure to obtain, maintain or renew these permits and licenses may significantly disrupt our business, or subject us to sanctions, requirements to increase capital or other conditions or enforcement, or compromise enforceability of related contractual arrangements, or have other harmful effects on us. For example, we have not obtained the internet audio-visual program transmission license for providing the internet audio-visual program services and content on our platform in China, for which we are not qualified to apply, because the current applicable laws and regulations require an applicant to be a wholly state-owned or state-controlled entity. In addition, we have not completed filing for distributing publications and providing live streaming services on our platform.

● New laws and regulations may be promulgated to regulate internet activities, including online advertising and internet cultural activities. Other aspects of our online operations may be further regulated in the future. If these new laws and regulations are promulgated, additional licenses may be required for our online operations. If our operations do not comply with these new regulations at the time they become effective, or if we fail to obtain any licenses required under these new laws and regulations, we could be subject to penalties.

● The PRC Tourism Law and the Measures for the Administration of the Overseas Tours of Chinese Citizens promulgated by the State Council impose stringent restrictions on tour operators, pursuant to which, tour operators are prohibited from arranging compulsory shopping or other activities which charge additional fees on top of the contract prices that the tourist has already paid, unless it is agreed upon by both parties through consultation or requested by the tourist and does not affect the itinerary of other tourists. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Regulations on Travel Companies." If travel suppliers fail to comply with these restrictions, our reputation and brand may be negatively affected.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

● The PRC E-Commerce Law strengthens the regulation of e-commerce operators relating to consumer protection, personal data protection and intellectual property rights protection. As an e-commerce operator, we are required under the PRC E-Commerce Law, (1) to refrain from conducting false or misleading commercial promotion by fabricating transactions, making up user comments or otherwise, to defraud or mislead consumers, (2) to allow consumer to opt out of search results targeting his or her personally characteristics such as hobbies and shopping patterns and simultaneously show the consumers with options not targeting his or her personally characteristics, (3) to alert consumers of tie-in sale of commodities or services, and shall not set the tied-in commodities or services as a default option, (4) to obtain and maintain business license and other applicable licenses as required, and disclose information of such license at our front-page, (5) to clearly detail the refund procedure for the deposit we received from customers, and not set any unreasonable conditions to refund, (6) to take the risks and responsibilities in the transportation of the products, unless the consumer chooses a courier logistics service provider other than the default service provider, etc. Since the promulgation of the PRC E-Commerce Law, the PRC government has promulgated implementation rules and opinions governing the e-commerce industry, including measures governing the administration of payment institutions' foreign exchange related services provided to e-commerce operators and consumers, as well as guiding opinions on data interconnection and sharing between enterprises of express delivery and e-commerce industries, and the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Online Trading which impose a series of regulatory requirements on new forms of online trading, such as online social networking e-commerce and online livestreaming e-commerce. Among other things, the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Online Trading specify typical examples of unreasonable restrictions or conditions imposed by e-commerce platform operators on transactions concluded on their platforms and require e-commerce platform operators to verify and update each merchant's profile on a regular basis and monitor registration status of their market participants. See also "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Regulations on Online Transaction Platform Operators." We have adopted the required measures to keep our current practice in line with the requirements under the PRC E-Commerce Law and its implementation rules. However, the competent PRC government authorities may promulgate further implementation rules under the PRC E-Commerce Law and may deem our current measures insufficient under the PRC E-Commerce Law and its implementation rules. If we are required to adopt additional measures to comply with the PRC E-Commerce Law and its implementation rules, our compliance cost would increase significantly, and our business and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

The interpretation and application of existing PRC laws, regulations and policies and possible new laws, regulations or policies relating to the internet and tourism industrires have created substantial uncertainties regarding the legality of existing and future foreign investments in, and the businesses and activities of, internet businesses in China, including our business.

***The PRC government's significant oversight over our business operation could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our ADSs.***

We conduct our business in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. The PRC government has significant oversight over the conduct of our business, and may influence our operations as the government deems appropriate to advance regulatory and societal goals and policy positions. The PRC government published policies that significantly affected certain industries and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies that directly or indirectly affect our industry or require us to seek additional permission to continue our operations, which could result in a material adverse change in our operation and/or the value of our ADSs. All the operational risks associated with being based in and having operations in mainland China may also apply to operations in Hong Kong and Macau. With respect to the legal risks associated with being based in and having operations in mainland China, the laws, regulations and the discretion of mainland China governmental authorities discussed in this annual report are expected to apply to mainland China entities and businesses, rather than entities or businesses in Hong Kong and Macau, which operate under different sets of laws from mainland China. However, the PRC government may influence our operations in Hong Kong and Macau at any time, which may have a material impact on our ability to conduct business in Hong Kong and Macau and could result in a material adverse change in our operation and/or the value of our ADSs.

***PRC regulation of direct investment and loans by offshore holding companies to PRC entities and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or limit us from using the proceeds of our financing activities, or making additional capital contributions or loans to our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.***

We are not an operating company in China but a Cayman Islands holding company conducting our operations in China through our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities. Holders of our ADSs hold equity interest in Tuniu Corporation, our Cayman Islands holding company, and do not have direct or indirect equity interest in the VIE. Any capital contributions or loans that we, as an offshore entity, make to our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities, including from the proceeds of our financing activities, such as our private placements, are subject to PRC laws and regulations. Under PRC laws and regulations, we are permitted to utilize such proceeds to fund our existing PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities only through loans or capital contributions or to establish new PRC subsidiaries or new PRC consolidated affiliated entities, subject to applicable government registration and approval requirements. Currently, there is no statutory limit to the amount of funding that we can provide to our PRC subsidiaries through capital contributions. However, the maximum amount we can loan to our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities is subject to statutory limits. According to current PRC laws and regulations, we can provide funding to our PRC subsidiaries through loans of up to either (i) the amount of the difference between the respective registered total investment amount and registered capital of each of our PRC subsidiaries, or the Total Investment and Registered Capital Balance, or (ii) the then applicable statutory multiple, the amount of their respective net assets, calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP, or the Net Assets Limit, at our election. We may also fund the consolidated affiliated entities through cross-border loans and the maximum amount would be their respective Net Assets Limit. Increasing the Total Investment and Registered Capital Balance of our PRC subsidiaries is subject to governmental procedures and may require a PRC subsidiary to increase its registered capital at the same time. If we choose to make a loan to a PRC subsidiary or PRC consolidated affiliated entity based on its Net Assets Limit, the maximum amount we would be able to loan to the relevant PRC subsidiary or PRC consolidated affiliated entity would depend on the relevant PRC entity's net assets and the applicable statutory multiple at the time of calculation. Moreover, any medium or long-term loan to be provided by us to the VIE or other domestic PRC entities must also be registered with the National Development and Reform Commission. PRC laws and regulations may also impose more stringent limitations to cross - border loans, which will also have negative impacts on our ability to fund our PRC entities. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Regulations on Foreign Currency Exchange."

SAFE regulations prohibit foreign-invested enterprises from using Renminbi funds converted from foreign exchange capital for the following purposes: (i) direct or indirect expenditure prohibited by relevant laws and regulations, (ii) directly or indirectly used for investment in securities investments or other investments in wealth management unless otherwise provided by relevant laws and regulations, (iii) providing loans to non-affiliated enterprises, except where it is expressly permitted in the business license and (iv) paying the expenses related to the purchase of real estate that is not for self-use (except for the foreign-invested real estate enterprises). In addition, SAFE continues to enhance its oversight of the flow and use of the Renminbi capital converted from foreign currency registered capital of a foreign-invested company. The business scopes of Beijing Tuniu and Tuniu (Nanjing) Information Technology Co., Ltd., or Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology, include research and development of computer software, network information technology products, computer application systems, e-commerce systems, network security systems and computer system integration; technology services, consulting and transfers; sales of self-developed products; investment consulting; business information consulting; and conference services and public relations advice. Beijing Tuniu and Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology may only use Renminbi converted from foreign exchange capital contribution for activities allowed by the aforementioned SAFE regulations. Violations of circulars promulgated by SAFE could result in severe monetary or other penalties. Although currently there are not equivalent or similar restrictions or limitations in Hong Kong or Macau on cash transfers in, or out of, our Hong Kong entities (including currency conversion), if certain restrictions or limitations in mainland China were to become applicable to cash transfers in and out of Hong Kong entities (including currency conversion) in the future, the funds in our Hong Kong entities likewise, may not be available to meet our currency demand.

Due to the restrictions imposed on loans in foreign currencies extended to any PRC domestic companies, we may not be able to make such loans to the subsidiaries of our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in mainland China and the consolidated affiliated entities in mainland China. Meanwhile, we may not be able to finance the activities of the consolidated affiliated entities by means of capital contributions given the restrictions on foreign investment in the businesses that are currently conducted by the consolidated affiliated entities.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

In light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or record-filings on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans to our PRC subsidiaries or any consolidated affiliated entity or future capital contributions by us to our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in mainland China. As a result, uncertainties exist as to our ability to provide prompt financial support to our PRC subsidiaries or the consolidated affiliated entities when needed. If we fail to complete such registrations or record-filings, our ability to use foreign currency, including the proceeds we received from our initial public offering, and to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

***Changes in China's economic or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.***

Our business operations are based in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by economic or social conditions or government policies in China generally and by continued economic growth in China as a whole.

Although the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC government also exercises significant control over China's economic growth through allocating resources, regulating payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and using a variety of policies to guide the economic activities of businesses in China.

While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. Some of the government measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government regulation over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Any prolonged turbulence in the Chinese economy may reduce the demand for our products and services and materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. However, any stimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higher inflation.

***A severe or prolonged downturn in the Chinese or global economy could materially and adversely affect the leisure travel industry and our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

The global macroeconomic environment still faces numerous challenges after 2022. The growth rate of the Chinese economy has been slowing since 2010 and the Chinese population has begun to decline since 2022. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Hamas-Israel conflict, the conflict in the Persian Gulf and surrounding areas as far west as Israel and Lebanon, and the restrictions at various times on shipping through the straits of Hormuz and the Red Sea have heightened geopolitical tensions across the world. The impact of the regional conflicts has contributed to increases in food and energy prices and thus to inflation more generally, with the potential for even more serious consequences if oil and gas facilities are destroyed or shipping is affected for an extended period of time. There have also been concerns about the relationship between China and other countries, which may potentially have economic effects. In particular, there is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and China with respect to a wide range of issues including trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs. Economic conditions in China are sensitive to global economic conditions, as well as changes in domestic economic and political policies and the expected or perceived overall economic growth rate in China. Any severe or prolonged slowdown in the global or Chinese economy may materially and adversely affect the leisure travel industry and our business, results of operations and financial condition, and continued turbulence in the international markets may adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs. Our users and business partners may reduce or delay spending with us, while we may have difficulty expanding our user base fast enough, or at all, to offset the impact of decreased spending by our existing users.

***The current tensions in international trade and rising political tensions, may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

There have been heightened tensions in international economic relations in recent years and these tensions may continue to escalate in the future. These tensions have resulted in changes in international trade policies and, as they further escalate, may result in additional barriers to trade. For example, the tensions between the United States and China in recent years have led to additional, or higher tariffs imposed by the United States on products imported from China and restrictions on the sale of certain products into the United States. China has responded by imposing, and proposing to impose additional, or higher tariffs on products imported from the United States, among other measures. In addition, international political tensions have escalated and continue to be subject to uncertainties with respect to a wide range of issues. The U.S. government has also adopted measures aiming to prohibit or restrict U.S. investment in China-associated companies that operate in certain industries. Rising political tensions could reduce levels of trades, investments, technological exchanges, and other economic activities, which would materially and adversely affect the global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. These developments may also lead to increased compliance costs, operational disruptions, and potential constraints on our access to capital markets. The possibility of the U.S. government delisting China-associated companies from U.S. stock exchanges, as recently reported in the media, creates uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain our Nasdaq listing. Any further escalation of international tensions may have a negative impact on the general, economic, political, and social conditions of the countries where we operate and, in turn, adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***The PRC government regulates travel and other related industries. If we fail to obtain or maintain all pertinent permits and approvals or if the PRC government imposes more restrictions on these industries, our business may be adversely affected.***

We are required to obtain applicable permits or approvals from regulatory authorities to conduct our business activities. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation." If we fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals in the future, we may be subject to various penalties, such as fines or suspension of operations in these regulated businesses, which could severely disrupt our business operations. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

***Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Such classification would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders and would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.***

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, an enterprise established outside the PRC with a "de facto management body" within the PRC is considered a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes and is generally subject to a uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate on its worldwide income. Under the implementation rules to the Enterprise Income Tax Law, a "de facto management body" is defined as a body that has material and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel and human resources, finances and properties of an enterprise. In addition, STA Circular 82, which was issued in April 2009 and was amended in December 2017 by the State Taxation Administration specifies that certain offshore incorporated enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups will be classified as PRC resident enterprises if all of the following conditions are met: (a) senior management personnel and core management departments in charge of the daily operations of the enterprises have their presence mainly in the PRC; (b) their financial and human resources decisions are subject to determination or approval by persons or bodies in the PRC; (c) major assets, accounting books and company seals of the enterprises, and minutes and files of their board's and shareholders' meetings are located or kept in the PRC; and (d) half or more of the enterprises' directors or senior management personnel with voting rights habitually reside in the PRC. Further to STA Circular 82, the State Taxation Administration issued STA Bulletin 45, which took effect on September 1, 2011, to provide more guidance on the implementation of STA Circular 82 and clarify the reporting and filing obligations of such "Chinese-controlled offshore-incorporated resident enterprises." STA Bulletin 45 provides procedures and administrative details for the determination of PRC resident enterprise status and administration on post-determination matters. Although both STA Circular 82 and STA Bulletin 45 only apply to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreign individuals like us, the determining criteria set forth in STA Circular 82 and STA Bulletin 45 may reflect the State Taxation Administration's general position on how the "de facto management body" test should be applied in determining the PRC resident enterprise status of offshore enterprises, regardless of whether they are controlled by PRC enterprises, PRC enterprise groups or by PRC or foreign individuals.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

We do not believe that Tuniu Corporation meets all of the conditions above and thus we do not believe that it is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, despite the fact that all of the members of our management team as well as the management team of Tuniu (HK) Limited are located in China. However, if the PRC tax authorities determine that it is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we will be subject to the uniform 25% enterprise income tax on our worldwide income, which could materially reduce our net income. In addition, we will also be subject to PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. Second, although dividends paid by one PRC tax resident to another PRC tax resident should qualify as "tax-exempt income" under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, we cannot assure you that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax on dividends, and the PRC tax authorities have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are not controlled by any PRC enterprise or PRC enterprise group and treated as PRC resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, subject to any applicable tax treaty or similar arrangement between the PRC and our shareholders' jurisdiction of residence that provides for a different income tax arrangement, PRC withholding tax at the rate of 10% is normally applicable to dividends from PRC sources payable to investors that are non-PRC resident enterprises, which do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or which have such establishment or place of business if the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business. Any gain realized on the transfer of ADSs or shares by such non-PRC resident enterprise investors is also subject to 10% PRC income tax if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC unless a tax treaty or similar arrangement otherwise provides. Under the PRC Individual Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, dividends from sources within the PRC paid to foreign individual investors who are not PRC residents are generally subject to a PRC withholding tax at a rate of 20%, and gains from PRC sources realized by such investors on the transfer of ADSs or shares are generally subject to 20% PRC income tax, in each case, subject to any reduction or exemption set forth in applicable tax treaties and PRC laws. It is also unclear whether dividends we pay with respect to our ordinary shares or ADSs, or the gain realized from the transfer of our ordinary shares or ADSs, would be treated as income derived from sources within the PRC and as a result be subject to PRC income tax if we were considered a PRC resident enterprise, as described above. If PRC income tax was imposed on gains realized through the transfer of our ADSs or ordinary shares or on dividends paid to our non-PRC resident shareholders, the value of the investment in our ADSs or ordinary shares may be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, our ADS holders whose jurisdictions of residence have tax treaties or arrangements with China may not qualify for benefits under such tax treaties or arrangements.

***We face uncertainty regarding the PRC tax reporting obligations and consequences for certain indirect transfers of our operating company's equity interests. Enhanced scrutiny over acquisition transactions by the PRC tax authorities may have a negative impact on potential acquisitions we may pursue in the future.***

According to the Announcement of the State Taxation Administration on Several Issues Concerning the Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Property Transfer by Non-Resident Enterprises promulgated by the State Taxation Administration in February 2015, which has been further amended by the Bulletin on Matters Concerning Withholding of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises at Source issued by the State Taxation Administration in October 2017 and amended in June 2018, if a non-resident enterprise transfers the equity interests of a PRC resident enterprise indirectly by transfer of the equity interests of an offshore holding company (other than a purchase and sale of shares issued by a PRC resident enterprise in public stock market) without a reasonable commercial purpose, the PRC tax authorities have the discretion to reassess the nature of the transaction and the indirect equity transfer will be treated as a direct transfer. As a result, gains derived from such a transfer, which means the equity transfer price minus the cost of equity, will be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10%. Under the terms of the announcement, as amended, the transfer that meets all of the following conditions shall be directly deemed as having no reasonable commercial purposes: (i) more than 75% of the value of the equity interests of the offshore holding company are directly or indirectly derived from PRC taxable properties; (ii) at any time during the year before the indirect transfer, over 90% of the total properties of the offshore holding company are investments within PRC territory, or in the year before the indirect transfer, over 90% of the offshore holding company's revenue is directly or indirectly derived from PRC territory; (iii) the function performed and risks assumed by the offshore holding company are insufficient to substantiate its corporate existence; or (iv) the foreign income tax imposed on the indirect transfer is lower than the PRC tax imposed on the direct transfer of the PRC taxable properties.

There is uncertainty as to the interpretation and application of the aforementioned announcement, as amended. If an Indirect Transfer occurs for us, we and our non-PRC resident shareholders may be at risk of being taxed under such announcement, as amended, and we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with such the announcement, as amended, or to establish that we should not be taxed under such announcement, as amended.

***Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with the anti-monopoly and unfair competition laws and regulations may result in penalties against us and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

The PRC government agencies have in recent years strengthened enforcement under a number of PRC laws and regulations including anti-monopoly and unfair competition laws and regulations. In addition to the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law amended in 2022, these include the PRC Anti-Unfair Competition Law as most recently amended in October 2025 and its interpretations issued in 2022, the Interim Measures on Online Anti-unfair Competition, which came into effect in September 2024, the Guidelines on Anti-Monopoly Issues in Platform Economy published in 2021, the Provisions on the Prohibition of Monopoly Agreements released in 2023, as amended in December 2025, as well as the Provisions on the Review of Concentration of Undertakings released in 2024. These laws and regulations set forth the merger control review process, impose filing requirements with the anti-monopoly authority and provide for penalties for failing to meet such requirements.

Due to the uncertainties associated with the new and evolving legislative activities and varied local implementation practices of anti-monopoly and competition laws and regulations in the PRC, complying with the requirements of the amended PRC Anti-Monopoly Law, M&A Rules, merger control review rules, security review rules and other PRC regulations to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the SAMR, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete merger transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

In June 2025, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress amended the PRC Anti-unfair Competition Law which took effect in October 2025. The amended PRC Anti-unfair Competition Law imposes more obligations on platform operators, requiring platform operators to incorporate fair competition provisions in their platform service agreements and transaction rules and take necessary measures to promptly prohibit operators' unfair competition practices on their platforms, and prohibiting platform operators from forcing operators on their platforms to sell goods at prices below cost. In February 2026, the SAMR published the Guidelines on Antitrust Compliance for Internet Platforms, setting forth comprehensive compliance management requirements for Internet platform operators. The SAMR, together with certain other PRC government authorities have been active in their oversight and the establishment of long-term mechanisms for fair market competition in the consumption industry.

We cannot assure you that our business operations comply with anti-monopoly and unfair competition laws and regulations and authorities' requirements in all respects. If any non-compliance is raised by the authorities and determined against us, we may be subject to fines and other penalties.

***PRC regulations establish complex procedures for some acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.***

The M&A Rules establish procedures and requirements that could make some acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the Ministry of Commerce be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise.

In addition, national security review rules issued by the PRC government authorities in 2011 require acquisitions by foreign investors of domestic companies engaged in military-related or certain other industries that are crucial to national security to be subject to prior security review. According to the Measures for the Security Review of Foreign Investment promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce on December 19, 2020 and effective as of January 18, 2021, investments in military, national defense-related areas or in locations in proximity to military facilities, or investments that would result in acquiring the actual control of assets in certain key sectors, such as critical agricultural products, energy and resources, equipment manufacturing, infrastructure, transport, cultural products and services, information technology, internet products and services, financial services and technology sectors, are required to obtain approval from designated government authorities in advance. See also "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Foreign Investment in Value-Added Telecommunications Services."

Furthermore, according to the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, if a Chinese overseas listed company issues overseas listed securities to acquire assets, such issuance would be subject to filing requirements. Our ability to carry out our investment and acquisition strategy may be materially and adversely affected due to significant regulatory uncertainty as to the timing of receipt of approvals or completion of filings and whether we will be able to complete such investments and acquisitions in the future in a timely manner or at all.

***PRC regulations relating to offshore investment activities by PRC residents may limit our PRC subsidiaries' ability to increase their registered capital or distribute profits to us, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, or otherwise expose us to liabilities and penalties under PRC laws.***

The SAFE promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents' Offshore Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles on July 4, 2014. This circular requires PRC residents to register with local branches of SAFE in connection with their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore entity for the purpose of overseas investment and financing, with assets or equity interests of onshore companies or offshore assets or interests held by the PRC residents, referred to in the circular as a "special purpose vehicle." The circular further requires amendment to the registration in the event of any significant changes with respect to the special purpose vehicle, such as increases or decreases in capital contributed by PRC residents, transfers or exchanges of shares, mergers, divisions, or other material changes. The term "control" under the circular is broadly defined as the operation rights, beneficiary rights or decision-making rights acquired by PRC residents in special purpose vehicles or PRC companies by such means as acquisition, trust, proxy, voting rights, repurchase, convertible bonds or other arrangements.

If our shareholders or beneficial owners who are PRC citizens or residents do not complete their registration with the local SAFE branches, our PRC subsidiaries may be prohibited from distributing their profits and proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to us, and we may be restricted in our ability to contribute additional capital to our PRC subsidiaries. Moreover, failure to comply with the various SAFE registration requirements described above could result in liabilities for our PRC subsidiaries under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions, including (1) the requirement by SAFE to return the foreign exchange remitted overseas within a period specified by SAFE, with a fine of up to 30% of the total amount of foreign exchange remitted overseas and deemed to have been evasive and (2) in circumstances involving serious violations, a fine of no less than 30% of and up to the total amount of remitted foreign exchange deemed evasive. Furthermore, the persons-in-charge and other persons at our PRC subsidiaries who are held directly liable for the violations may be subject to criminal sanctions.

We have requested all of our known current shareholders and/or beneficial owners to disclose whether they or their shareholders or beneficial owners fall within the ambit of this circular and other related rules, and urged such shareholders and beneficial owners, upon learning they are PRC residents, to make the necessary applications, filings and amendments as required under this circular and other related rules. However, we cannot assure you that they successfully amended their foreign exchange registrations with the local SAFE branch in compliance with applicable laws after our initial public offering. In addition, we may not be informed of the identities of all the PRC residents holding direct or indirect interests in our company, and we cannot compel our beneficial owners to comply with the requirements of this circular. As a result, we cannot assure you that all of our shareholders or beneficial owners who are PRC residents have complied with and will in the future comply with our requests to make or obtain any applicable registrations or comply with other requirements required by this circular or other related rules. A failure by any of our current or future shareholders or beneficial owners who are PRC residents to comply with the SAFE regulations may subject us to fines or other legal sanctions, restrict our cross-border investment activities, limit our PRC subsidiaries' ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

Furthermore, since it is unclear how this circular and any future regulation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the government authorities, we cannot predict how these regulations will affect our business operations or future strategy. For example, if we decide to acquire a PRC domestic company, either we or the owners of such company, as the case may be, may not be able to obtain the necessary approvals or complete the necessary filings and registrations required by the foreign exchange regulations. This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects.

***Failure to comply with PRC regulations regarding the registration requirements for share option plans may subject the PRC plan participants or us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.***

In February 2012, SAFE promulgated the Notices on Issues Concerning the Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Stock Incentive Plans of Overseas Publicly-Listed Companies, or the Stock Option Rules. Under the Stock Option Rules and other rules and regulations, PRC residents who participate in stock incentive plans in an overseas publicly-listed company are required to register with SAFE or its local branches and complete certain other procedures. Participants of a stock incentive plan who are PRC residents must retain a qualified PRC agent, which could be a PRC subsidiary of the overseas publicly-listed company or another qualified institution selected by the PRC subsidiary, to conduct the SAFE registration and other procedures with respect to the stock incentive plan on behalf of its participants. The participants must also retain an overseas entrusted institution to handle matters in connection with their exercise of stock options, the purchase and sale of corresponding stocks or interests and fund transfers. In addition, the PRC agent is required to amend the SAFE registration with respect to the stock incentive plan if there is any material change to the stock incentive plan, the PRC agent or the overseas entrusted institution or other material changes. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Regulations on Employee Stock Option Plans."

We and our PRC employees who have been granted share options are subject to these regulations. Beijing Tuniu has registered with the Beijing Branch of SAFE as an agent in connection with an incentive compensation plan adopted by us in 2008, or the 2008 Plan, and a separate incentive compensation plan adopted by us in 2014, or the 2014 Plan, which was amended in November 2023 to extend the expiration date of the 2014 Plan from April 2023 to April 2034. We have advised our employees and directors participating in our share incentive plans to handle foreign exchange matters in accordance with the Stock Option Rules. However, we cannot assure you that the share option holders can successfully register with SAFE in full compliance with the Stock Option Rules for material changes of the granted share options. Failure of our PRC share option holders or restricted shareholders to complete their SAFE registrations or comply with other related PRC regulations in the process may subject these PRC residents to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries' ability to distribute dividends to us, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business.

***Our subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities in China are subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to our holding company, which may restrict our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements.***

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We may need dividends and other distributions on equity from our PRC subsidiaries to satisfy our liquidity requirements. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of their accumulated profits, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our PRC subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the total amount set aside reaches 50% of their respective registered capital. Our PRC subsidiaries may also allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to employee welfare and bonus funds at their discretion. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. In addition, the PRC tax authorities may require us to adjust our taxable income under the contractual arrangements among Beijing Tuniu, Nanjing Tuniu and the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu in a manner that would materially and adversely affect Beijing Tuniu's ability to pay dividends and other distributions to us. Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute dividends to us or on the ability of Nanjing Tuniu to make payments to us may restrict our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements. The funds in our PRC subsidiaries or the consolidated affiliated entities in mainland China may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of mainland China due to the interventions in, or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on, the ability of our holding company, our subsidiaries, or the consolidated affiliated entities by the PRC government on cash transfers. Although currently there are not equivalent or similar restrictions or limitations in Hong Kong or Macau on cash transfers in, or out of, our Hong Kong entities, if certain restrictions or limitations in mainland China were to become applicable to cash transfers in and out of Hong Kong entities in the future, the funds in our Hong Kong entities, likewise, may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong.

***We may not be able to obtain certain treaty benefits on dividends paid to us by our PRC subsidiaries through our Hong Kong subsidiary.***

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, dividends generated from retained earnings after January 1, 2008 from a PRC company and distributed to a foreign parent company are subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% unless the foreign parent's jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a preferential withholding arrangement. Pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income, which became effective on December 8, 2006, a company incorporated in Hong Kong, such as Tuniu (HK) Limited, will be subject to withholding income tax at a rate of 5% on dividends it receives from its PRC subsidiaries, if it holds a 25% or more interest in that particular PRC subsidiary, or 10% if it holds less than a 25% interest in that subsidiary. However, the State Taxation Administration promulgated STA Circular 9 on February 3, 2018, which became effective from April 2018. Circular 9 stipulates that in determining whether a non-resident enterprise has the status as a beneficial owner, comprehensive analysis shall be conducted based on the factors provided in Circular 9 and the actual circumstances of the specific case shall be taken into consideration. Specifically, Circular 9 expressly excludes an agent or a designated payee from being considered as a "beneficial owner." As a result, although our PRC subsidiaries, Beijing Tuniu and Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology, are currently wholly owned by our Hong Kong subsidiary, Tuniu (HK) Limited, we cannot assure you that we would be entitled to the tax treaty benefits and enjoy the favorable 5% rate applicable under the arrangement between mainland China and Hong Kong. If Tuniu (HK) Limited is not recognized as the beneficial owner of the dividends paid to it by Beijing Tuniu or Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology, such dividends will be subject to a normal withholding tax of 10% as provided by the Enterprise Income Tax Law.

***Discontinuation or revocation of any of the preferential tax treatments and government subsidies or imposition of any additional taxes or surcharges could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.***

Our PRC subsidiaries are incorporated in the PRC and governed by applicable PRC tax laws and regulations. The Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules have adopted a uniform statutory enterprise income tax rate of 25% to all enterprises in China, including foreign-invested enterprises. The Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules also permit qualified "high and new technology enterprises," or HNTEs, to enjoy a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% upon filing with the tax authorities. The qualification as a HNTE is generally effective for a term of three years and the renewal of such qualification is subject to review by the authorities in China. Nanjing Tuniu originally obtained its HNTE certificate in 2010 and successfully obtained its fourth renewal of such a certificate in November 2025, which expires in 2028. Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology originally obtained its HNTE certificate in 2017 and successfully obtained its second renewal of such a certificate in December 2023, which expires in 2026. Therefore, Nanjing Tuniu and Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology were eligible to enjoy a preferential tax rate of 15% in 2024 to the extent that they have taxable income under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, as long as they maintain the HNTE qualifications and duly conduct the enterprise income tax filing procedures with the tax authorities. If Nanjing Tuniu and Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology fail to maintain or renew their HNTE qualifications when their current terms expire, they will lose the current preferential tax treatments and their applicable enterprise income tax rates may increase to 25%, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Beijing Tuniu originally obtained its HNTE certificate in 2018, which expired in 2020. As a result, the applicable enterprise tax rate for Beijing Tuniu has been restored to 25% since 2021. However, since Beijing Tuniu has large amount of accumulated loss in previous years, the increased enterprise income tax rate would not result in an immediate adverse effect on our financial condition.

In addition, our PRC subsidiaries have received various financial subsidies from PRC local government authorities. Preferential tax treatments and financial subsidies are subject to review and may be adjusted or revoked at any time in the future. The discontinuation of any preferential tax treatments or financial subsidies or imposition of any additional taxes or surcharges could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

***Fluctuations in exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.***

The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, is based on rates set by the People's Bank of China. The Renminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. The value of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by changes in China's political and economic conditions and by China's foreign exchange policies, among other things. We cannot assure you that Renminbi will not appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the future. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Any significant appreciation or depreciation of Renminbi may materially and adversely affect our revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, our ADSs in U.S. dollars. For example, a significant depreciation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar may significantly reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings, which in turn could adversely affect the price of our ADSs.

Very limited hedging options are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any material hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to adequately hedge our exposure or at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert Renminbi into foreign currency. As a result, fluctuations in exchange rates may have a material adverse effect on your investment.

***Regulation and censorship of information distribution over the internet in China may adversely affect our business, and we may be liable for information displayed on, retrieved from or linked to our website.***

The PRC government has adopted regulations governing internet access and the distribution of information over the internet. Under these regulations, internet content providers and internet publishers are prohibited from posting or displaying over the internet content that, among other things, violates PRC laws and regulations, impairs the national dignity of China or the public interest, or is reactionary, obscene, superstitious, fraudulent or defamatory. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in confiscation of income, fines, suspension of business, revocation of licenses to provide internet content and other licenses, the closure of the concerned websites, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations. A website operator may also be held liable for such censored information displayed on or linked to its website. For a detailed discussion, see "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Regulations on Information Security and Censorship." We have a team dedicated to screening and monitoring content published on our online platform and removing prohibited content. However, we may have difficulty identifying and removing all illegal content displayed on or linked to our website, which could expose us to the penalties described above.

***We face certain risks relating to the real properties that we lease.***

We lease real properties from third parties primarily for our office use in the PRC. Our leasehold interests in a number of these leased properties may be defective as a result of the lessors' lack of proper title or right to lease. As a result, we cannot assure you that our leasehold interests will not be challenged. In addition, we have not registered the vast majority of our lease agreements with the PRC government authorities as required by PRC law, and although failure to do so does not in itself invalidate the leases, we may not be able to defend these leases against bona fide third parties. As of the date of this annual report, we are not subject to any material actions, claims or investigations pending or threatened in writing by government authorities or third parties with respect to defects in our leased properties. However, if third parties who purport to be property owners or beneficiaries of the mortgaged properties challenge our right to lease these properties, we may not be able to protect our leasehold interests and may be ordered to vacate the affected premises, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to successfully extend, renew or terminate these leases upon expiration of the current term on commercially reasonable terms or at all. These could disrupt our operations and result in significant relocation expenses, as well as may result in litigation or claims against us, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***It may be difficult for overseas regulators to conduct investigation or collect evidence within China.***

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigation that are common in the United States generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in the jurisdiction where we operate. Specifically, although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of a mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigations or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. While the detailed interpretation of or implementation rules under Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law have yet to be promulgated, the inability of an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests. See also "—Risks Related to Our ADSs and Class A Ordinary Shares—You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law" for risks associated with investing in us as a Cayman Islands company.

**Risks Related to Our Business and Industry**

***Declines or disruptions in the leisure travel industry may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.***

We are dependent on the leisure travel industry for substantially all of our revenues. The leisure travel industry is dependent on personal discretionary spending levels, which may be materially and adversely affected by economic downturns and recessions. Although the leisure travel industry in China has had periods of rapid growth, any severe or prolonged slowdown in the Chinese economy could reduce expenditures for leisure travel, which in turn may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. See "—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—A severe or prolonged downturn in the Chinese or global economy could materially and adversely affect the leisure travel industry and our business, results of operations and financial condition."

Our business may also be significantly affected by other factors that tend to reduce leisure travel, including increased prices in hotel, air-ticketing, fuel or other travel-related sectors, work stoppages or labor unrest at airlines, increased occurrences of travel-related accidents, outbreaks of other contagious diseases, natural disasters and extreme unexpected bad weather, terrorist attacks and political unrest. The travel industry was negatively affected by the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic across the world from 2020 to 2022, which had a negative impact on our target customers. See "— We face risks related to natural disasters and health epidemics." In addition, our overseas leisure travel business may be negatively affected by any adverse changes in the visa policies of foreign countries that makes it difficult for Chinese nationals to obtain tourist visas. Terrorist attacks or threats of terrorist attacks, political unrest, wars, the imposition of taxes or surcharges by regulatory authorities and regional hostilities may also reduce the demand for overseas tours. For example, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Hamas-Israel conflict negatively impacted travel demand for the tours to the affected regions. We have little or no control over the occurrence of such declines or disruptions, which could result in a decrease in demand for our travel products and services. This decrease in demand, depending on the scope and duration, could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations over the short and long term.

***We face risks related to natural disasters and health epidemics.***

Our business activities could be materially and adversely affected by natural disasters, health epidemics or other public safety concerns affecting the PRC, and particularly Nanjing. Natural disasters may give rise to server interruptions, breakdowns, system failures, technology platform failures or internet failures, which could result in loss or corruption of data or software or hardware malfunctions, as well as adversely affect our ability to operate our platforms and provide services. Our business could also be adversely affected if our employees are affected by health epidemics, including COVID-19, Ebola virus disease, H1N1 flu, H7N9 flu, avian flu or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS.

In addition, our business operation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected to the extent that any health epidemic harms the Chinese economy in general. Our headquarter is located in Nanjing, where most of our directors and management and the majority of our employees currently reside. Most of our hardware systems and back-up systems are hosted in facilities located in Nanjing. Consequently, if any natural disasters, health epidemics or other public safety concerns were to affect Nanjing, our operations may experience material disruptions, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***If we do not continue to provide competitive travel products and services, we may not be able to attract new customers or retain existing customers, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.***

Our success depends on our ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers, which in turn requires our continual provision of a wide array of competitive travel products and services. Participants in the online travel industry are continually developing new travel products and services in response to both the increasing customer demand and the changing market environment. We strive to stay abreast of emerging and rapidly changing customer preferences and to anticipate trends that will appeal to existing and potential customers. We will also continue to invest in research and development in order to constantly improve the speed, accuracy and comprehensiveness of our online platform. If we fail to keep improving our travel products and services and platform at a competitive pace, we may lose customers to our competitors and be unable to attract new customers. In addition to packaged tours, we provide other travel-related services, such as sales of tourist attraction tickets, visa application services, hotel booking services, air ticketing services, train ticketing services, car rental services and insurance services. We intend to further broaden our product selection by extending our coverage of departing cities and travel destinations as well as offering more departure time selections. If we fail to consistently source quality travel products and services tailored to accommodate our customers' changing needs and preferences, we may not be able to sell additional products and services to our current customers, retain our current customers or attract new customers, and our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Failure to maintain the quality of customer services could harm our reputation and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Our business is significantly affected by the overall size of our customer base, which in turn is determined by, among other factors, their experience with our customer service. As such, the quality of customer service is critical to retaining our existing customers and attracting new customers. If we fail to provide quality customer service, our customers may be less inclined to book travel products and services with us or recommend us to new customers, and may switch to our competitors. Failure to maintain the quality of customer service could harm our reputation and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We may not be able to adequately control and ensure the quality of travel products and services sourced from travel suppliers. If there is any deterioration in the quality of their performance, our customers may seek damages from us and not continue using our online platform.***

Our ability to ensure satisfactory customer experiences largely depends on travel suppliers providing high-quality travel products and services. Our reputation and brand will be negatively affected if travel suppliers fail to provide quality travel products and services.

The actions we take to monitor and enhance the performance of travel suppliers may be inadequate in the timely discovery of quality issues. There have been customer complaints and litigation against us due to travel suppliers' failure to provide satisfactory travel products or services. If our customers are dissatisfied with the travel products and services provided, they may reduce their use of, or completely forgo, our online platform, and may even demand refunds of their payments to us or claim compensation from us for the damages suffered as a result of travel suppliers' performance or misconduct, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We incurred losses in the past and may not be able to maintain profitability.***

We historically incurred net losses, including net losses of RMB101.1 million in 2023. Our such net losses were partially attributable to impairment of goodwill. We recorded net income of RMB83.7million and RMB29.7 in 2024 and 2025, respectively. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to maintain profitability. Our ability to achieve profitability is also affected by various factors that are beyond our control. For example, our revenues and profitability depend on the development of the online leisure travel industry in China and consumers' preference to make travel bookings online. We cannot assure you that the online travel-booking market in China will grow to exceed its current market size or that consumers will further increase their spending on online leisure travel booking. Factors negatively affecting travel suppliers' profitability will in turn adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

***We face intense competition and may not be able to compete successfully against existing and new competitors.***

We operate in China's highly competitive travel industry. We compete not only with other online travel companies, but also traditional travel service providers and tour operators, airlines and hotels and large, established internet companies. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Competition." Some of our current and potential competitors may have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. In addition, some of our competitors may be acquired by, receive investments from or enter into strategic relationships with larger, well-established and well-financed companies or investors. Furthermore, our business model causes us to maintain a cooperative-competitive relationship with some of our competitors, especially tour operators, who also supply travel products to customers directly or through our competitors' platforms.

Many of our competitors have launched, and may continue to launch, aggressive advertising campaigns, special promotions and other marketing activities to promote their brands, attract new customers or increase their market share. In response, we have taken and may continue to take similar measures and as a result have incurred and may continue to incur significant expenses, which in turn could negatively affect our operating margin in the quarters or years when such promotional activities are carried out. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete against existing or new competitors. If we are not able to compete successfully, we may lose our market share and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***If we fail to enhance our brand recognition, we may face difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers and travel suppliers, and our business may be harmed.***

Recognition and reputation of our "Tuniu" brand among our targeted customers and travel suppliers have contributed significantly to our growth. We have made continual investments in enhancing awareness of our brand among customers and travel suppliers since our inception. Our brand recognition and reputation also depend on our ability to provide high-quality customer services, address customer needs and handle customer complaints properly, maintain our relationships with travel suppliers and provide a user-friendly online platform. See "—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Failure to maintain the quality of customer services could harm our reputation and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations", "—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—If we are unable to maintain existing relationships with travel suppliers, or develop relationships with new travel suppliers on favorable terms or terms similar to those we currently have, our business and results of operations may suffer" and "—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—The proper functioning of our online platform, including our web and mobile platforms, and management systems is essential to our business. Any failure to maintain their satisfactory performance will materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations." Failure to maintain the strength of our brand could reduce the number of customers and deteriorate our relationships with travel suppliers.

In addition, some of our competitors have well-established brands in the travel industry, and may have more financial and other resources to advertise and promote their brands. Therefore, we expect to continue incurring advertising and marketing expenditures and use other resources to maintain and increase our brand recognition. Our marketing costs may also increase as a result of inflation of media pricing in China, including costs for purchasing search engine keywords and placing online and offline advertisements. If we fail to maintain and increase our brand recognition in a cost-effective manner, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

***We are exposed to proceedings or claims arising from travel-related accidents or customer misconduct during their travels, the occurrence of which may be beyond our control.***

Accidents are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity among tourists. We are exposed to risks of our customers' claims arising from or relating to travel-related accidents. As we enter into contracts with our customers directly, our customers typically take actions against us for the damages they suffer during their travels. However, such accidents may result from the negligence or misconduct of travel suppliers or other service providers, over which we have no or limited control. See also "—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—We may not be able to adequately control and ensure the quality of travel products and services sourced from travel suppliers. If there is any deterioration in the quality of their performance, our customers may seek damages from us and not continue using our online platform." We maintain insurance coverage for our liabilities as a travel company, and are indemnified by the insurance company/companies for the damages claimed by our customers. However, there is no assurance that such insurance or indemnification will be sufficient to cover all of our losses. In addition, some of the travel-related accidents result from adventure activities undertaken by our customers during their travels, such as scuba diving, white water rafting, wind surfing and skiing. Furthermore, we may be affected by our customers' misconduct during their travels, over which we have no or limited control. Such accidents and incidents of misconduct, even if not resulting from our negligence or misconduct, or the travel suppliers' negligence or misconduct, could create a public perception that we are less reliable than our competitors, which would harm our reputation, and could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***The proper functioning of our online platform, including our web and mobile platforms, and management systems is essential to our business. Any failure to maintain their satisfactory performance will materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.***

Availability, satisfactory performance and reliability of our online platform, including our web and mobile platforms, are critical to our ability to attract and retain customers and provide quality travel products and services to our customers. Any unavailability or slowdown of our online platforms would reduce the number of our customers and their travel bookings. Further, some telecommunications carriers have system constraints that can affect our customer experience. For example, if a large number of customers use the same telecommunications carrier at the same time for services requiring a large amount of data transmission, the customers could experience reduced speed or other technical issues due to the carrier's capacity constraints, over which we have no control. Our servers may also be vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or other potential disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of data or the inability to accept and process customer queries or bookings. We may also experience interruptions caused by reasons beyond our control such as power outages. Unexpected interruptions could damage our reputation and result in a material decrease of our revenues. In addition, our online platform may contain undetected errors or "bugs" that could adversely affect its performance.

Our mobile platform forms an important and integral part of our customers' research on travel-related information. It is difficult to predict the problems we may encounter in developing mobile applications for newly released mobile devices and platforms, and we may need to devote significant resources to the development, support and maintenance of such applications. We are dependent on the interoperability of providing our products and services on popular mobile operating systems that we do not control, such as Android and iOS, and any changes in such systems that degrade the accessibility of our products and services or give preferential treatment to competing products and services could adversely affect the usability of our products and services on mobile devices. In addition, we rely upon third-party mobile application stores for users to download our mobile applications. As such, the promotion, distribution and operation of our mobile applications are subject to app stores' standard terms and policies for app developers. As a result, we may fail to attract and retain a significant portion of the growing number of customers who search for and book travel products and services through mobile devices. We may also experience difficulties monetizing customer traffic to our mobile platform.

In addition, we rely significantly on our proprietary N-Booking system and other management systems to facilitate and process transactions. We may in the future experience system interruptions that prevent us from efficiently fulfilling bookings or providing services and support to our customers or travel suppliers. Any interruptions, outages or delays in our systems, or deterioration in their performance, could impair our ability to process transactions and decrease the quality of our services to our customers or travel suppliers. If we were to experience frequent or persistent system failures, our reputation and brand would be harmed.

***If we are unable to maintain existing relationships with travel suppliers, or develop relationships with new travel suppliers on favorable terms or terms similar to those we currently have, our business and results of operations may suffer.***

Our business is dependent on our ability to maintain our relationships and arrangements with existing travel suppliers. For most of our suppliers, we do not prohibit them from developing business relationships with our competitors or selling, through their direct sales, travel products that are the same as or similar to those they supply to us. If we are unable to maintain satisfactory relationships with our existing travel suppliers, or if travel suppliers establish similar or more favorable relationships with our competitors, or if travel suppliers increase their competition with us through their direct sales, we may not have the necessary supply to meet the needs of our customers, or we may not obtain satisfactory rates. We do not enter into any long-term agreements with travel suppliers. We cannot assure you that travel suppliers will renew their agreements with us in the future on favorable terms or terms similar to those we have currently agreed upon. Travel suppliers may increase the prices that they charge us or the deposits that they require from us. As a result, the amount, pricing and breadth of travel products and services that we are able to offer may be reduced, and our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Furthermore, in order to grow our business, we will need to develop relationships with new travel suppliers of good quality. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify appropriate travel suppliers or enter into arrangements with those travel suppliers on favorable terms or at all. Any failure to do so could harm the growth of our business and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Our quarterly results are likely to fluctuate because of seasonality in the leisure travel industry in China.***

Our business experiences fluctuations, reflecting seasonal variations in demand for leisure travel services. Sales of leisure travel products and services generally will increase during holiday periods and decrease during off-peak times, while prices of leisure travel products and services are subject to fluctuation between peak seasons and low seasons. For example, the third quarter of each year generally contributes the highest percentage of our annual revenues, because many of our customers tend to travel during summer holidays in July and August. Consequently, our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

***If we are unable to identify, attract, hire, train and retain key individuals and highly skilled employees, our business may be adversely affected***

Our future performance depends on the continued service of our senior management, in particular, Mr. Dunde Yu, our founder, chairman and chief executive officer. If one or more of our key executives were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily, our future growth may be constrained, our business may be disrupted and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. There is no assurance that we can retain their services and there can be no assurance that they will not compete against us.

If our business expands, we will need to hire additional employees, including supplier management personnel to maintain and expand our travel supplier network, information technology and engineering personnel to maintain and expand our online platform and customer service personnel to serve an increasing number of customers. If we are unable to identify, attract, hire, train and retain sufficient employees in these areas, our customers may not have satisfactory experiences with us and may turn to our competitors, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

***We may be subject to legal or administrative proceedings regarding our travel products and services, information provided on our online platform or other aspects of our business operations, which may be time-consuming to defend and affect our reputation.***

From time to time, we have become and may in the future become a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including breach of contract claims, anti-competition claims and other matters. Such proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty. Regardless of the outcome and merit of such proceedings, any such legal action could have an adverse impact on our business because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management's attention and other factors. In addition, it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of one or more legal or administrative proceedings, whether in the PRC or in another jurisdiction, could materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular period or damage our reputation. In addition, our online platform contains information about our travel products and services, vacation destinations and other travel-related topics. It is possible that our customers would take action against us in the event that any content accessible on our online platform were to contain errors or false or misleading information.

***We may be subject to detrimental adverse publicity, malicious allegations or other conduct by individuals or entities, which could harm our reputation, adversely affect our business and the trading price of our ADSs.***

We have been, and in the future may be, the target of adverse publicity, malicious allegations or other detrimental conduct by individuals or entities. Such allegations, directly or indirectly against us, may be posted in internet chat-rooms, on blogs, or on any website or mobile applications by anyone on an anonymous basis. We may be required to spend significant time and incur substantial costs in response to such allegations or other detrimental conduct, and there is no assurance that we will be able to conclusively refute each of them within a reasonable period of time, or at all. Our reputation may be harmed as a result of the public dissemination of malicious allegations about our personnel, business, operations, accounting, prospects or business ethics, which in turn could adversely affect our business and the trading price of our ADSs.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***If the fragmented travel industry in China becomes consolidated, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.***

China's enormous size and population, imbalanced economic development and differences in consumer behavior across the country have created a highly fragmented and diverse travel industry. In recent years, customers have been shifting from highly fragmented traditional offline travel companies to travel websites for a wider product selection and greater convenience. If, however, traditional tour operators form alliances, or merge or consolidate among themselves, or if one of the travel suppliers is acquired by another company with which we do not have a relationship, we may not be able to maintain our strength in offering a wider selection of travel products and services as compared to traditional travel companies, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

***We may not be able to prevent others from using our intellectual property, which may harm our business and expose us to litigation.***

We regard our intellectual property as critical to our success. We rely primarily on a combination of copyright, software registration, trademark, trade secret and unfair competition laws and contractual rights, such as confidentiality agreements with our employees and others, to protect our intellectual property rights. The protection of intellectual property rights in China may not be as effective as that in the United States. Unauthorized use or other misappropriation of our technologies would enable third parties to benefit from our technologies without paying us, or enable our competitors to offer travel products and services that are comparable to or better than ours. From time to time, we may have to enforce our intellectual property rights through litigation. Such litigation may result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources and management attention. If we are not successful in protecting our intellectual property, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

***Claims by third parties that we infringe on their intellectual property rights could lead to government administrative actions and result in significant costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

We cannot be certain that our operations or any aspects of our business do not or will not infringe upon copyrights or other intellectual property rights held by third parties. We have been in the past, and may be from time to time in the future, subject to legal proceedings, claims or government administrative actions relating to alleged infringement on copyrights or other intellectual property rights held by third parties in relation to the content on our online platform or intellectual property rights otherwise used in our operation. For example, our website may be found to contain pictures that infringe on copyrights of third parties or hotel reviews that are third parties' proprietary information. In addition, some of the software that we are currently using in our business may infringe on third parties' copyrights. If we are found to have infringed on the intellectual property rights of others, we may be subject to liability for our infringement activities or prohibited from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees. Successful infringement or licensing claims made against us may result in significant monetary liabilities and may materially disrupt our business and operations by restricting or prohibiting our use of the intellectual property in question. Moreover, regardless of whether we successfully defend against such claims, we could suffer negative publicity and our reputation could be severely damaged. Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, user-generated content on our online platform may contain or provide links to information that infringes on the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of third parties or violates applicable rules or regulations in relation to censorship, or we may use the user-generated content in a way that infringes on the rights of the users or third parties. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming to defend, result in litigation and divert management's attention and resources.

***The successful operation of our business depends upon the performance and reliability of the internet infrastructure and telecommunications networks in China.***

Our business depends on the performance and reliability of the internet infrastructure and telecommunications networks in China. Almost all access to the internet is maintained through state-owned telecommunications operators under the administrative control and regulatory supervision of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. In addition, the national networks in China are connected to the internet through international gateways controlled by the PRC government. These international gateways are the only channels through which domestic users can connect to the internet. We rely on a limited number of telecommunications service providers, primarily China Telecom and China Unicom, to provide us with data communications capacity. We, our customers or travel suppliers, may not have access to alternative networks in the event of disruptions, failures or other problems with China's internet infrastructure. With the expansion of our business, we may be required to upgrade our technology and infrastructure to keep up with the increasing traffic on our online platform. However, we have no control over the costs of the services provided by telecommunications service providers. If the prices we pay for telecommunications and internet services rise significantly, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. If internet access fees or other charges to internet users increase, the number of internet users may decline and our business may be harmed. Moreover, if we are not able to renew services agreements with the telecommunications carriers when they expire and are not able to enter into agreements with alternative carriers on commercially reasonable terms or at all, the quality and stability of our online platform may be adversely affected.

***We are subject to payment-related risks.***

We enable our customers to make payments through our website by working with various third-party payment processing service providers. As we rely on third parties to provide payment processing services, including processing payments made with credit cards and debit cards, it could disrupt our business if these companies become unwilling or unable to provide these services to us. Additionally, the acceptance and processing of various payment methods are subject to certain laws and regulations, and require payment of interchange and other fees. To the extent there are increases in any payment processing fees or any material changes in the payment ecosystem, such as delays in receiving payments from payment processors or changes to laws and regulations related to payment processing, our revenues, operating expenses and results of operations could be adversely affected. We may be subject to human error, fraud and other illegal activities in connection with third-party payment services. If our or our third-party payment processing service providers' data security systems are breached or compromised, we may lose our ability to accept credit and debit card payments from our customers, and we may be subject to claims for damages from our customers and third parties, all of which could adversely and materially affect our reputation as well as our results of operations.

We may also be subject to various laws, regulations and requirements governing electronic fund transfers and payment, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply with. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, we may be subject to fines, higher transaction fees, and even lose our ability to accept credit and debit card payments from our users, process electronic fund transfers or facilitate other types of payments. If any of the above were to occur, we may lose users as they may be discouraged from purchasing products or services on our platform, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

***If we fail to adopt new technologies or adapt our online platform and management systems to changing user requirements, increasing traffic or emerging industry standards, our business may be materially and adversely affected.***

The online travel industry is subject to rapid technological changes. To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality and features of our online platform. The online travel industry is also characterized by rapid technological evolution and changes in customer requirements and preferences. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to identify, develop, acquire or license leading technologies useful in our line of business and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices in a cost-effective and timely manner. The development of our online platform and other proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risks. In addition, the widespread adoption of new internet, networking or telecommunications technologies or other technological changes could require substantial expenditures to modify or adapt our infrastructure. We may not be able to use new technologies effectively or adapt our online platform, proprietary technologies and operating systems to the requirements of our customers and travel suppliers or emerging industry standards. If we are unable to adapt in a cost-effective and timely manner to changing market conditions or user requirements, whether for technical, legal, financial, or other reasons, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Our business may be harmed if we are unable to upgrade our systems and infrastructure quickly enough to accommodate increasing traffic levels, to avoid obsolescence, or to successfully integrate any newly developed or purchased technologies with our existing systems. Capacity constraints could cause unanticipated system disruptions, slower response times, poor customer experience, impaired quality and speed of reservations and confirmations and delays in reporting accurate financial and operating information. These factors could cause us to lose customers. Additionally, we will continue to upgrade and improve our technology infrastructure to support our business growth. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in executing these system upgrades and improvement strategies. In particular, our systems may experience interruptions during upgrades, and any new technologies or infrastructure may not be fully integrated with our existing systems on a timely basis, or at all. If our existing or future technology infrastructure does not function properly, it could cause system disruptions and slow response times that affect data transmission, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our business.

***Our business generates and processes a large amount of data, and we are required to comply with PRC and other applicable laws relating to privacy and cybersecurity. The improper use or disclosure of data could have a material and adverse effect on our business and prospects.***

Our business generates and processes a large quantity of data. We face risks inherent in handling and protecting large volume of data. In particular, we face a number of challenges relating to data from transactions and other activities on our platforms, including:

● protecting the data in and hosted on our system, including against attacks on our system by outside parties or fraudulent behavior or improper use by our employees;

● addressing concerns related to privacy and sharing, safety, security and other factors; and

● complying with applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the collection, use, storage, transfer, disclosure and security of personal information, including any requests from regulatory and government authorities relating to these data.

Data security and data protection compliance receives heightened attention from domestic and global regulators and attracts great public scrutiny, which could increase our compliance costs going forward and subject us to heightened risks and challenges associated with data security and protection. If we are unable to manage these risks, we could become subject to penalties, including fines, suspension of business and revocation of required licenses, and our reputation and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The PRC regulatory and enforcement regime with regard to data security and data protection is evolving and may be subject to different interpretations or significant changes. Different PRC regulatory bodies, including the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Public Security and the SAMR, have enforced data privacy and protections laws and regulations with varying standards and applications. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Regulations on Information Security and Censorship" and " - Regulations on Internet Privacy". The following summarizes key recent PRC regulatory activities in this area:

The Cybersecurity Review Measures, which were promulgated in December 2021 and became effective in February 2022, subject critical information infrastructure operators that procure internet products and services to the cybersecurity review if their activities affect or may affect national security. These measures require critical information infrastructure operators or network platform operators that hold personal information of over one million users to apply with the Cybersecurity Review Office for a cybersecurity review before any public offering at a foreign stock exchange. As of the date of this annual report, we have not been informed, approached or designated as a critical information infrastructure operator under the applicable PRC laws and regulations by any PRC government authorities. The exact scope of "critical information infrastructure operators" under the current regulatory regime remains subject to interpretation by the PRC government authorities who may have wide discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of the applicable laws. Therefore, it is uncertain whether we would be deemed to be a critical information infrastructure operator under PRC law. If we are deemed to be a critical information infrastructure operator under the PRC cybersecurity laws and regulations, we may be subject to obligations in addition to what we have fulfilled under the PRC cybersecurity laws and regulations.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The Administrative Regulations on Cyber Data Security, or the Cyber Data Security Regulations, which came into effect in January 2025 requires companies to identify and report the type of important data involved in their business. This new regulation, along with the Data Security Law which took effect in September 2021, impose additional obligations on important data processors, including designating and specifying persons and management bodies responsible for data security, implementing regular data security risk assessment and other data protection measures, and submitting annual risk assessment reports to relevant authorities. Furthermore, the Cyber Data Security Regulations require that cyber data processors conducting data processing activities that affect or may affect national security shall undergo a national security review in accordance with the relevant regulations. However, these regulations provides no further explanation or interpretation for "affect or may affect national security". Considering the type and nature of the personal information we gather is of relatively low national security significance, the risk of us being required to undertake national review under the Data Security Regulations is relatively low. However, we cannot assure you that relevant governmental authorities will not interpret the laws and regulations in ways that may negatively affect us. Failure to comply with these requirements under the aforementioned regulations could subject us to penalties, including fines, suspension of business, revocation of required licenses and civil or even criminal liabilities.

The impact of many of the data-related legislations remains unpredictable as they are relatively new and certain concepts thereunder are subject to interpretation by the regulators. If any data that we possess belongs to data categories that are subject to heightened scrutiny, we may be required to adopt stricter measures for protection and management of such data. The Cybersecurity Review Measures remain unclear on whether the requirements will be applicable to us or other companies already listed in the United States. If the Cybersecurity Review Measures mandate clearance of cybersecurity review and other specific actions to be taken by issuers like us, we face uncertainties as to whether these additional procedures can be completed by us timely, or at all, which may subject us to government enforcement actions and investigations, fines, penalties, suspension of our non-compliant operations, or removal of our app from the application stores, and materially and adversely affect our businesses and results of operations. As of the date of this annual report, we have not been involved in any formal investigations on cybersecurity review made by the Cyberspace Administration of China on such basis.

In general, compliance with the existing PRC laws and regulations, as well as additional laws and regulations that PRC regulatory bodies may enact in the future, related to data security and personal information protection, may be costly and result in additional expenses to us, and subject us to negative publicity, which could harm our reputation and business operations. There are also uncertainties with respect to how such laws and regulations will be implemented and interpreted in practice. For example, in November 2025, the Cyberspace Administration of China and Ministry of Public Safety jointly issued the draft Provisions on Personal Information Protection of Large Online Platforms for public comments. These draft provisions propose to identify the platforms with 50 millions registered users or 10 million monthly active users, taking into account other relevant factors, as "large network platforms", and propose to require such large network platform service providers to, among others, appoint a personal information protections officer who shall be a management member with Chinese nationality.

In addition, regulatory authorities around the world have adopted or are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection. These legislative and regulatory proposals, if adopted, and the uncertain interpretations and applications thereof could, in addition to the possibility of fines, result in an order requiring that we change our data practices and policies, which could have an adverse effect on our businesses and results of operations. The European Union General Data Protection Regulation, which came into effect on May 25, 2018, includes operational requirements for companies that receive or process personal data of residents of the European Economic Area. The European Union General Data Protection Regulation establishes new requirements applicable to the processing of personal data, affords new data protection rights to individuals and imposes penalties for serious data breaches. Individuals also have a right to compensation under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation for financial or non-financial losses. Although we do not conduct any business in the European Economic Area, in the event that residents of the European Economic Area access our website or our mobile platform and input protected information, we may become subject to provisions of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation. In addition, to the extent we have accessed data in Hong Kong and Macau, we have been in compliance with relevant laws and regulations in Hong Kong and Macau regarding data security, such as the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Ordinance which impose protocols and obligations regarding the handling of personal data including that, among other things, (i) personal data shall be collected for a lawful purpose, necessary and not excessive, (ii) personal data shall be collected by means that are lawful and fair in the circumstances of the case, and (iii) the person from whom personal data is collected is informed of the purpose of collecting the data. We believe that the laws and regulations in Hong Kong and Macau regarding data security do not have a material impact on our business, as of the date of this annual report. However, if certain laws and regulations in Hong Kong or Macau were to result in oversight over data security that impacts our business in these regions, we may be required to incur additional cost to ensure our compliance to such laws and regulations, and any violation could result in a material adverse impact on our business, reputation and results of operations.

***Our use of open source software could adversely affect our ability to offer our products and services and subject us to possible litigation.***

We use open source software in connection with our development of technology infrastructure. From time to time, companies that use open source software have faced claims challenging the use of open source software and/or compliance with open source license terms. We could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software, or claiming noncompliance with open source licensing terms. Some open source licenses require users who distribute software containing open source to make available all or part of such software, which in some circumstances could include valuable proprietary code. While we monitor the use of open source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose our proprietary source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open source agreement, such use could inadvertently occur, in part because open source license terms are often ambiguous. Any requirement to disclose our proprietary source code or pay damages for breach of contract could be harmful to our business, results of operations or financial condition, and could help our competitors develop travel products and services that are similar to or better than ours.

***If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations or prevent fraud or fail to meet our reporting obligations, and investor confidence and the market price of our ADSs may be materially and adversely affected.***

We are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX. Section 404 of the SOX requires that we include a report from management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F. Our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025. See "Item 15. Controls and Procedures." However, if we fail to maintain the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the SOX. Moreover, effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports. As a result, any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could negatively impact the trading price of our ADSs. Furthermore, we may need to incur additional costs and use additional management and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 of the SOX and other requirements going forward.

***We have limited business insurance coverage in China.***

Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. Business disruption insurance is available to a limited extent in China, but we have determined that the risks of disruption, the cost of such insurance and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance make it commercially impractical for us to have such insurance. We maintain insurance coverage for travel company liabilities, but we do not maintain insurance coverage for business disruptions and would have to bear the costs and expenses associated with any such events out of our own resources.

***We may need additional capital, and financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.***

Based on our liquidity assessment, which has considered our operations at the current business scale, the available funding that will be provided from the maturity of our short-term and long-term investments, and our available cash and cash equivalents, we will be able to meet our working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months subsequent to the filing of this annual report. We may require additional cash resources due to unanticipated business conditions or other future developments, including any marketing initiatives or investments we may decide to pursue. If these resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to obtain a credit facility or sell additional equity or debt securities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in the dilution of our existing shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. It is uncertain whether financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***We have granted share options and restricted shares, and may grant share options and other share-based awards in the future, which may materially increase our net loss.***

We adopted the 2008 Plan, which permits the granting of options to purchase our ordinary shares and restricted shares. We also adopted the 2014 Plan, which permits the granting of options to purchase our ordinary shares, restricted shares and restricted share units. In particular, our 2014 Plan contains an evergreen provision which allows us to automatically increase the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares reserved under the 2014 Plan to 5% of the then-issued and outstanding shares on an as-converted basis without shareholder approval, if and whenever the shares reserved in the 2014 Plan account for less than 1% of the total then-issued and outstanding shares on an as-converted basis. For more details regarding the 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan, see "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—B. Compensation." As of February 28, 2026, there were options to acquire 3,199,629 Class A ordinary shares outstanding under the 2008 Plan, and options to acquire 31,615,452 Class A ordinary shares and 11,385 restricted shares outstanding under the 2014 Plan. In addition, we plan to grant employees share options and other share-based compensation in the future. Expenses associated with share-based awards may materially impact our results of operations.

**Risks Related to Our ADSs and Class A Ordinary Shares**

***If we fail to meet Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, our ADSs could be subject to delisting, which may significantly reduce the liquidity of our ADSs and cause further decline to the market price of our ADSs.***

Our ADSs were previously listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. On May 19, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450 (a) (1), as the closing bid price of the ADSs had been below US$1.00 per ADS for the previous 30 consecutive business days. We were given a period of 180 calendar days, or until November 17, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In response, we submitted an application to transfer the listing of our ADSs from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, which was approved by Nasdaq on November 21, 2025. In connection with the transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq granted us a second period of 180 calendar days, or until May 18, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our ADSs must meet or exceed US$1.00 per ADS for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days on or prior to May 18, 2026. Nasdaq's determination to grant the additional 180-day compliance period was in part based on we meeting the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and we having provided written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period, including effecting a reverse stock split or a change of the ratio of our ADSs to its Class A ordinary shares, if necessary. On March 20, 2026, we announced to change the ratio of the ADSs to our Class A ordinary shares (the "ADS Ratio Change"), from the current ratio of one (1) ADS representing three (3) Class A ordinary shares to a new ratio of one (1) ADS representing thirty (30) Class A ordinary shares. The ADS Ratio Change will have the same effect as a one-for-ten reverse ADS split and the ADS Ratio Change will be effective on or about April 22, 2026, U.S. Eastern Time, subject to the effectiveness of the post-effective amendment to the ADS Registration Statement on Form F-6 on or before that date.

However, there can be no assurance that we remain in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and meet other requirements for continued listing at all times going forward. If Nasdaq determines to delist our ADSs, or if we fail to list our ADSs on other stock exchanges or find alternative trading venue for our ADSs, the market liquidity and the value of an investment in our ADSs will be materially and adversely affected.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***The trading price of our ADSs have fluctuated and may continue to be volatile regardless of our operating performance.***

Since our ADSs became listed on the Nasdaq Global Market on May 9, 2014, the trading price of our ADSs has fluctuated significantly. The trading price of our ADSs is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in China that have listed their securities in the United States. The widespread negative publicity of alleged fraudulent accounting practices and poor corporate governance of certain U.S. public companies with operations in China in recent years was believed to have negatively affected investors' perception and sentiment towards companies with a connection to China, which significantly and negatively affected the trading prices of some companies' securities listed in the U.S. Any similar negative publicity or sentiment may affect the performance of our ADSs. The trading price of our ADSs may also be affected by changes in the U.S. stock markets in general. Furthermore, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to our operating performance, which may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our ADSs. The securities of some PRC companies that have listed their securities on U.S. stock markets have experienced significant volatility. The trading performances of these PRC companies' securities after their initial public offerings may affect the attitudes of investors toward PRC companies listed in the United States in general and consequently may impact the trading performance of our ADSs, regardless of our actual operating performance.

In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our ADSs may be highly volatile due to factors specific to our own operations, including the following:

● the financial projections that we may choose to provide to the public, any changes in those projections or our failure for any reason to meet those projections;

● variations in our revenues, net income and cash flow;

● announcements of new investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, or joint ventures;

● announcements of new products, services and expansions by us or our competitors;

● changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

● additions or departures of key personnel;

● release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities;

● potential litigation or regulatory investigations; and

● fluctuations in market prices for our products or services.

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our ADSs trade.

***If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our ADSs, the market price for our ADSs and trading volume could decline.***

The trading market for our ADSs will be influenced by research or reports that securities or industry analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts who cover us downgrade our ADSs, or publish unfavorable research about us, the market price for our ADSs would likely decline. Failure to meet expectations driven by analyst research or reports, even by aggressive research or reports, may cause the market price of our ADSs to decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our ADSs to decline.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Our dual class share structure with different voting rights will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any change of control transactions that holders of our Class A ordinary shares and ADSs may view as beneficial.***

Our ordinary shares are divided into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote per share, while holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to ten votes per share, with Class A and Class B ordinary shares voting together as one class on all matters subject to a shareholders' vote. Due to the disparate voting powers attached to these two classes of ordinary shares, holders of our Class B ordinary shares collectively beneficially owned approximately 5.33% of our outstanding ordinary shares as of February 28, 2026, representing 36.02% of our total voting power. As of February 28, 2026, our directors and officers beneficially own an aggregate of 61.8% of our outstanding shares representing 61.2% of our total voting power.

As a result of the dual class share structure and the concentration of ownership, holders of our Class B ordinary shares have substantial influence over our business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. They may take actions that are not in the best interest of us or our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and may reduce the price of our ADSs. This concentrated control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transactions that holders of Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs may view as beneficial. For more information regarding our principal shareholders and their affiliated entities, see "Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—A. Major Shareholders."

***The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs could adversely affect their market price.***

Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. As of February 28, 2026, we had 325,912,697 ordinary shares outstanding, comprising (i) 308,539,197 Class A ordinary shares (excluding 19,413,645 Class A ordinary shares, represented by 6,471,215 ADSs, reserved for the future exercise of options or the vesting of other awards under the 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan), and (ii) 17,373,500 Class B ordinary shares. Among these shares, 127,023,885 Class A ordinary shares are in the form of ADSs, which are freely transferable by persons other than our affiliates without restriction or additional registration under the Securities Act. The remaining Class A ordinary shares outstanding will be available for sale, subject to volume and other restrictions as applicable under Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act. We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant shareholders or any other shareholder or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of our Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs. In addition, certain holders of our Class B ordinary shares are entitled to certain registration rights in the event that specified conditions are met, including demand registration rights, piggyback registration rights, and Form F-3 registration rights. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in these shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration. Sales of these registered shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could cause the price of our Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs to decline.

***We believe that we were a passive foreign investment company for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ended December 31, 2025, which could result in adverse United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the ADSs or ordinary shares.***

We will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, if either (a) 75% or more of our gross income for such year consists of certain types of "passive" income, or the income test, or (b) 50% or more of the value of our assets (generally determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income, or the asset test. Although the law in this regard is unclear, we treat the consolidated affiliated entities as being owned by us for United States federal income tax purposes, not only because we direct the activities of their operations, but also because we are entitled to substantially all of their economic benefits, and, as a result, we consolidate their operating results in our consolidated financial statements.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Based on the market price of our ADSs and the nature and composition of our assets (in particular the substantial amount of cash and investments), we believe that we were a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ended December 31, 2025, and we will likely be a PFIC for our current taxable year ending December 31, 2026 unless the market price of our ADSs significantly increases and/or we invest a substantial amount of the cash and other passive assets we hold in assets that produce or are held for the production of active income.

If we are classified as a PFIC in any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder (as defined in "Item 10.E. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations") held our ADSs or ordinary shares, such U.S. Holder may incur significantly increased United States federal income tax on gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of the ADSs or ordinary shares and on the receipt of distributions on the ADSs or ordinary shares to the extent such gain or distribution is treated as an "excess distribution" under the United States federal income tax rules, and such U.S. Holders may be subject to burdensome reporting requirements. Further, if we were classified as a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ADSs or ordinary shares, we generally would continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which such U.S. Holder held our ADSs or ordinary shares. We do not intend to provide information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from (and generally less adverse than) the general tax treatment for PFICs. The United States federal income tax rules that apply if we are classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year are discussed below under "Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules."

***You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.***

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands (Revised) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take actions against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedents in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, with respect to Cayman Islands companies, plaintiffs may face special obstacles, including but not limited to those relating to jurisdiction and standing, in attempting to assert derivative claims in state or federal courts of the United States.

The Cayman Islands courts are also unlikely:

● to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; and

● to impose liabilities against us, in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.

There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands (Revised) and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see "Item 10.

***Judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.***

We are a Cayman Islands company and all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Our current operations are based in China. In addition, the majority of our current directors and executive officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. Substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the United States federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and of China may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers.

On July 14, 2006, the Supreme People's Court of China and the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region signed an Arrangement on Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters Pursuant to Choice of Court Agreements between the Parties Concerned, or the 2006 Arrangement. Under the 2006 Arrangement, where any designated mainland China court or any designated Hong Kong court has made an enforceable final judgment requiring payment of money in a civil or commercial case pursuant to a "choice of court" agreement in writing, any party concerned may apply to the relevant mainland China court or Hong Kong court for recognition and enforcement of the judgment. On January 18, 2019, the Supreme Court of China and the Department of Justice under the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region signed the Arrangement on Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters by the Courts of the Mainland and of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, or the 2019 Arrangement. The 2019 Arrangement establishes a mechanism for judgment recognition and enforcement with greater clarity and certainty in a wider range of civil and commercial matters between mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Under the 2019 Arrangement, a "choice of court" agreement in writing is no longer required for bilateral judgment recognition and enforcement. The 2019 Arrangement came into effect on January 29, 2024. According to the 2019 Arrangement, any party concerned may apply to the relevant mainland China court or Hong Kong court for recognition and enforcement of the effective judgments in civil and commercial cases subject to the conditions set forth in the 2019 Arrangement. As the 2019 Arrangement took effect recently, there are still uncertainties about the outcome and effectiveness of enforcement or recognition of judgments under the 2019 Arrangement.

***The voting rights of holders of ADSs are limited by the terms of the deposit agreement, and you may not be able to exercise your right to vote your Class A ordinary shares.***

Holders of our ADSs are only able to exercise the voting rights with respect to the underlying Class A ordinary shares in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement. Under the deposit agreement, holders of our ADSs must vote by giving voting instructions to the depositary. Upon receipt of those voting instructions, the depositary will vote the underlying Class A ordinary shares in accordance with those instructions. Holders of our ADSs are not able to directly exercise their right to vote with respect to the underlying shares unless they withdraw the shares. Under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the minimum notice period required for convening a general meeting is 14 calendar days. When a general meeting is convened, holders of our ADSs may not receive sufficient advance notice to withdraw the shares underlying their ADSs to allow them to vote with respect to any specific matter. If we ask for instructions from the holders of our ADSs, the depositary will notify the holders of our ADSs of the upcoming vote and will arrange to deliver our voting materials to them. We cannot assure holders of our ADSs that they will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that they can instruct the depositary to vote their shares. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for their manner of carrying out voting instructions. This means that holders of our ADSs may not be able to exercise their right to vote and may have no legal remedy if the shares underlying their ADSs are not voted as requested.

***We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.***

Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:

● the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K;

● the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

● the sections of the Exchange Act requiring principal shareholders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

● the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD.

We are required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we publish our results on a quarterly basis as press releases, distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market. Press releases relating to financial results and material events are also furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC is less extensive and less timely as compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a Cayman Islands company listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, we are subject to the Nasdaq Global Market corporate governance listing standards. However, Nasdaq Global Market rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, our home country, may differ significantly from the Nasdaq Global Market corporate governance listing standards. As we have chosen, and may from time to time choose, to follow home country practice exemptions with respect to certain corporate matters, such as the requirement of shareholders' approval for issuing additional securities exceeding 20% of our outstanding ordinary shares and the requirement to hold an annual meeting of shareholders, our shareholders may be afforded less protection under Cayman Islands law than they would under the Nasdaq corporate government requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. See "Item 16G. Corporate Governance." As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information, which would be made available to you, were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

***Although we have adopted a shareholder return policy since March 2026, we cannot assure you that our existing shareholder return policy or the amount of dividends that you may receive will not change in the future, neither can we guarantee that we will have sufficient profits, reserves set aside from profits or otherwise funds to justify and enable dividend declaration and payment in compliance with laws for any fiscal quarter and, therefore, you may need to rely on price appreciation of our class A ordinary shares and/or the ADSs as the sole source for return on your investment.***

In March 2025, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of US$0.012 per ordinary share to holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs of record as of the close of business on March 27, 2025. In March 2026, our board of directors approved a three-year shareholder return plan, under which we may, during the three-year period from the date of approval, (i) declare and distribute cash dividends of no more than US$30 million and (ii) repurchase of our Class A Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs of no more than US$20 million. Under the shareholder return plan, our board of directors reserves the discretion to determine the form, timing, and amount of the capital return measures based on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other relevant factors. In the same month, pursuant to this shareholder return plan, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of US$0.0399 per ordinary share to holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs of record as of the close of business on May 4, 2026.

Despite a shareholder return being in place, before any dividend is declared and paid, we need to have enough profits to justify such declaration and payment, or we need to have sufficient reserves set aside from profits previously generated that our board of directors determines are no longer needed. In addition, we must be able to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business immediately following the dividend payment. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet all of such conditions to enable dividend declaration and payment in compliance with laws. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing and amount of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flows, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Therefore, the amount of dividends that you may receive is uncertain and subject to change.

Furthermore, our shareholder return policy is subject to change at any time at the discretion of our board of directors, and there can be no assurance that we will not adjust or terminate our policy in the future. Accordingly, you should not rely on your investment in our class A ordinary shares and/or the ADSs as a source for any future dividend income and the future return on your investment in our class A ordinary shares and/or the ADSs will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our class A ordinary shares and/or the ADSs. There is no guarantee that our class A ordinary shares and/or the ADSs will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased the class A ordinary shares and/or the ADSs. You may not realize a return on your investment in our class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs and you may even lose your entire investment in our class A ordinary shares and/or the ADSs.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Holders of our ADSs may not receive dividends or other distributions on our Class A ordinary shares and may not receive any value for them, if it is illegal or impractical to make them available.***

The depositary of our ADSs has agreed to pay to holders of our ADSs the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on Class A ordinary shares or other deposited securities underlying our ADSs, after deducting its fees and expenses. Holders of our ADSs will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of Class A ordinary shares their ADSs represent. However, the depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any holders of ADSs. For example, it would be unlawful to make a distribution to a holder of ADSs if it consists of securities that require registration under the Securities Act, but that are not properly registered or distributed under an applicable exemption from registration. The depositary may also determine that it is not feasible to distribute certain property through the mail. Additionally, the value of certain distributions may be less than the cost of mailing them. In these cases, the depositary may determine not to distribute such property. We have no obligation to register under U.S. securities laws any ADSs, ordinary shares, rights or other securities received through such distributions. We also have no obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, ordinary shares, rights or anything else to holders of ADSs. This means that holders of our ADSs may not receive distributions we make on our Class A ordinary shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for us to make them available. These restrictions may cause a material decline in the value of our ADSs.

***Holders of our ADSs may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings.***

We may, from time to time, distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire securities. Under the deposit agreement, the depositary will not distribute rights to holders of ADSs unless the distribution and sale of rights and the securities to which these rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all holders of ADSs, or are registered under the provisions of the Securities Act. The depositary may, but is not required to, attempt to sell these undistributed rights to third parties, and may allow the rights to lapse. We may be unable to establish an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and we are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to these rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have a registration statement declared effective. Accordingly, holders of ADSs may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution of their holdings as a result.

***Holders of our ADSs may be subject to limitations on transfer of our ADSs.***

Our ADSs are transferable on the books of the depositary. However, the depositary may close its books at any time or from time to time when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties. The depositary may close its books from time to time for a number of reasons, including in connection with corporate events such as a rights offering, during which time the depositary needs to maintain an exact number of ADS holders on its books for a specified period. The depositary may also close its books in emergencies, and on weekends and public holidays. The depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers of our ADSs generally when our share register or the books of the depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the depositary deems it is advisable to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, or under any provision of the deposit agreement, or for any other reason.

**Item 4.** **Information on the Company**

**A. History and Development of the Company**

We began our operation in China through Nanjing Tuniu, a PRC company formed in December 2006. Nanjing Tuniu acquired 100% of the equity interests in Shanghai Tuniu International Travel Service Co., Ltd. in August 2008, Nanjing Tuniu International Travel Service Co., Ltd. in December 2008 and Beijing Tuniu International Travel Service Co., Ltd. in November 2009. Nanjing Tuniu established Nanjing Tuzhilv Tickets Sales Co., Ltd. in April 2011.

In June 2008, we incorporated Tuniu Corporation under the laws of the Cayman Islands as our offshore holding company in order to facilitate international financing. In May 2011, we established our wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary, Tuniu (HK) Limited.

We completed our initial public offering and listed our ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "TOUR" in May 2014. At the time of our initial public offering, we also entered into a concurrent private placement with three investors.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

In December 2014, we entered into a share subscription agreement with Unicorn Riches Limited, a special purpose vehicle of Hony Capital, JD.com E-commerce (Investment) Hong Kong Corporation Limited, a special purpose vehicle of JD.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: JD), Ctrip Investment Holding Ltd., a subsidiary of Ctrip.com International, Ltd. (which later changed its name to Trip.com Group Limited) (Nasdaq: TCOM) and the respective personal holding companies of Tuniu's chief executive officer and chief operating officer, pursuant to which we sold a total of 36,812,868 newly issued Class A ordinary shares for US$148 million.

In May 2015, we entered into a share subscription agreement with each of Fabulous Jade Global Limited, a subsidiary of JD.com, Inc., Unicorn Riches Limited, a special purpose vehicle of Hony Capital, DCM Ventures China Turbo Fund, L.P. and DCM Ventures China Turbo Affiliates Fund, L.P., both affiliates of DCM V, L.P., Ctrip Investment Holding Ltd., a subsidiary of Ctrip.com International, Ltd. (which later changed its name to Trip.com Group Limited), Esta Investments Pte Ltd, an affiliate of Temasek Holdings and Sequoia Capital 2010 CV Holdco, Ltd, an affiliate of Sequoia Capital, pursuant to which we issued a total of 93,750,000 Class A ordinary shares for US$500 million.

In November 2015, we entered into a share subscription agreement with HNA Tourism Group, or HNA Tourism, pursuant to which an affiliate of HNA Tourism purchased 90,909,091 newly issued Class A ordinary shares from us for US$500 million in January 2016.

From 2016 to 2019, we acquired controlling interests in several offline travel agencies and an online travel agency to further expand our overseas tourism market and promote our destination service. In 2022 and 2024, we disposed the controlling interests in these subsidiaries and retained non-controlling interests in the same subsidiaries after the disposals. As a result of these disposals, we recognized a disposal gain of RMB65.0 million and RMB24.1 million in 2022 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we received proceeds of RMB1.0 million (US$0.1 million) with a discounted unpaid amount of RMB9.3 million (US$1.3 million), which we expect to receive by 2029.

In November 2020, JD.com E-commerce (Investment) Hong Kong Corporation Limited transferred 12,436,780 Class A ordinary shares of our company to Hopeful Tourism Limited, a subsidiary of Caissa Sega Tourism Culture Development Group Co., Ltd., or Caissa Group, and JD.com Investment Limited transferred all its shares in Fabulous Jade Global Limited, which held 65,625,000 Class A ordinary shares of our company, to Hopeful Tourism Limited, pursuant to a share purchase agreement. As a result of the share transfer, Caissa Group beneficially owned 78,061,780 Class A ordinary shares. In December 2023, JD.com E-commerce (Investment) Hong Kong Corporation Limited, JD.com Investment Limited, Hopeful Tourism Limited, Caissa Group and Fabulous Jade Global Limited entered into a termination agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the share purchase agreement and agreed for the 78,061,780 Class A ordinary shares then beneficially owned by Hopeful Tourism Limited to be returned and transferred to JD.com Investment Limited.

Tuniu Corporation established a wholly owned PRC subsidiary, Beijing Tuniu, in September 2008. Tuniu (HK) Limited established another wholly owned PRC subsidiary, Tuniu (Nanjing) Information Technology Co., Ltd., in August 2011, and acquired 100% of the equity interests in Beijing Tuniu in September 2011. Through Beijing Tuniu, we direct the business operations of Nanjing Tuniu by entering into a series of contractual arrangements, including purchase option agreement, equity interest pledge agreement, shareholders' voting rights agreement, powers of attorney and cooperation agreement, with Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders. Nanjing Tuniu holds our ICP licenses as an internet content provider and operates our website. Beijing Tuniu International Travel Service Co., Ltd. and Nanjing Tuniu International Travel Service Co. Ltd., both of which are Nanjing Tuniu's subsidiaries, hold our operation permits for our overseas travel business.

These contractual arrangements allow us to:

● direct the activities of Nanjing Tuniu;

● receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Nanjing Tuniu; and

● have an option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu when and to the extent permitted by PRC law.

As a result of these contractual arrangements, we are the primary beneficiary of Nanjing Tuniu, and we treat it and its subsidiaries as consolidated affiliated entities under U.S. GAAP. We have consolidated the financial results of Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

In November 2025, we transferred the listing of our ADSs from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to Nasdaq Capital Market with trading symbol "Tuniu" unchanged.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

On March 20, 2026, we announced to change the ratio of the ADSs to our Class A ordinary shares (the "ADS Ratio Change"), from the current ratio of one (1) ADS representing three (3) Class A ordinary shares to a new ratio of one (1) ADS representing thirty (30) Class A ordinary shares. The ADS Ratio Change will have the same effect as a one-for-ten reverse ADS split and the ADS Ratio Change will be effective on or about April 22, 2026, U.S. Eastern Time, subject to the effectiveness of the post-effective amendment to the ADS Registration Statement on Form F-6 on or before that date.

**B. Business Overview**

We offer a large selection of packaged tours, including organized tours and self-guided tours, as well as travel-related services for leisure travellers. Our online platform, which comprises our *tuniu.com* website and mobile platform, provides comprehensive product and travel information through user-friendly interfaces to enable leisure travellers to plan their travels and search for itineraries that best suit their needs. Our online platform contains travel guides featuring photos, information and recommendations for all destinations we cover, as well as user-generated content that serves as valuable references for other travellers.

Our recognized brand in leisure travel and growing customer base enable us to source a broad range of products from high-quality travel suppliers at competitive prices. We rigorously select travel suppliers to ensure quality and reliability. We have developed our proprietary supply chain management system—N-Booking system—to streamline our interactions with travel suppliers, allowing them to receive booking information real-time through the web or mobile devices to efficiently manage travel products and understand customer preferences. We maintain a sophisticated supplier management system and data analytics system in order to facilitate the cooperation between the suppliers and us. In addition, to broaden the range of our products further and serve our customers, we enter into strategic agreements with various industry partners from time to time.

**Our Products and Services**

We offer packaged tours and other travel-related services to meet the travel needs and preferences of leisure travellers in China.

***Packaged Tours***

Packaged tours offered on our platform consist of organized tours and self-guided tours.

*Organized Tours:* Organized tours offer the benefits of pre-arranged itineraries, transportation, accommodation, entertainment, meals and tour guide services. By booking an organized tour on our platform, our customers can achieve cost savings compared to booking each component separately and have a hassle-free travel experience.

Organized tours offered on our platform encompass nearly all of the popular tourist destinations within China and overseas among Chinese travellers.

Organized tour product portfolios offered on our platform also include local tours, which mainly consist of weekend getaways and themed tours, such as water resort tours, historical town tours, ski tours and hot spring tours, mainly targeting customers who want to spend one to three days away from their departing cities. Typically, the average total amount (including the related taxes, fees and other charges borne by our customers) per trip paid by our customers for local tours that we have delivered and the local tour services that we have rendered is lower as compared to that of other types of organized tours.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Particularly, our domestic local tour operators directly provide destination-based services to our organized tour customers, starting from their arrival at the destination all the way until they depart from the destination. Similar to our travel suppliers, our local tour operators coordinate the tours based on pre-arranged itineraries and cover all components of the tours including transportation, accommodation, entertainment, meals and tour guide services. The tour guides serving our customers are either directly employed by us or working for us on a contractual basis. We are able to exercise greater control over the quality of our trips and utilize years of data on travel preferences to design more suitable products for consumers through our local travel operators.

In addition, to address the needs of group travellers who cannot be satisfied with off-the-shelf standard packaged travel products, such as companies planning travel retreats and families planning group trips, we provide customized tours to cater to specific travel needs. Our group travel tour advisors work closely with travel suppliers and our customers to design travel products and itineraries that meet such customers' unique needs.

*Self-guided Tours:* Self-guided tours offered on our platform consist of combinations of flights and hotel bookings and other optional add-ons, such as airport pick-ups that travellers can choose of their own volition. These products are offered at attractive prices compared to booking each travel product separately. The self-guided tours target leisure travellers who prefer greater flexibility during their vacations and do not need tour guide services. Due to the breadth of travel suppliers that are available on our platform, we are able to provide a wide selection of self-guided tours, covering a large number of hotels and airlines, and have developed the most comprehensive product offerings for selected popular destinations.

***Other Travel-Related Services***

Our other travel-related services comprise mainly of sales of tourist attraction tickets, visa application services, hotel booking services, air ticketing services, train ticketing services, car rental services and insurance services. We earn a commission or service fee for these services. In addition, we provide advertising services to domestic and foreign tourism boards and bureaus on our online platform.

**Our Online Platform and Offline Service Network**

We reach and serve customers through multiple online and offline channels, including our *tuniu.com* website, mobile platform, a primary call center in Nanjing and our offline retail stores across China.

Our online platform provides our customers with the tools and information they need to plan, book and purchase travel products and services. In addition, our online platform presents product information and travel requirements through user-friendly interfaces for leisure travellers to search for, compare and place orders for product offerings that best suit their needs. We have well-trained tour advisors and customer service representatives located at our centralized call center to supplement our online transaction infrastructure by providing our customers with professional advice and guidance throughout their travel planning and bookings process as well as timely support before and during their travels. The inclusion of a customer-focused service network is particularly important to customers of our travel products with high selling prices as these customers usually demand more assistance and attention in their travel planning.

***Our Website***

In addition to our product information such as tour duration, departure time and destination descriptions, our website features comprehensive travel advice ranging from basic to professional information, and user recommendations and travellers' reviews for the destinations we cover.

The customer can also request assistance and professional advice from our tour advisors who will promptly follow up and interact with the customer online or by phone.

*Contract Confirmation*. At this stage, a customer is required to confirm that he or she agrees to the terms and conditions of his or her purchase. The customer can submit his or her confirmation online or sign the contract related to his or her purchase in one of our offline retail stores or send us the signed contract. Contracts are entered between us and the customer directly.

*Payment*. After confirming the terms of a contract, a customer will be directed to the payment webpage. We offer our customers the flexibility to choose a number of payment options, which include bank transfers, credit cards, debit cards and online payment through third-party online payment platforms.

Electronic confirmations are sent to the customer's e-mail address or mobile phone and the customer can use the itinerary management function on our website or APP to check his or her booking details as well as amend or cancel bookings.

*Review*. After completing his or her trips, a customer is provided with incentives such as coupons to return to our website to write reviews and travel stories and share his or her experience on our Travelogue forum. This increases transparency regarding our travel product quality and increases customer stickiness. We regard customer reviews and travel stories, which provide valuable information to potential customers, as important criteria in assessing the quality and performance of travel suppliers and travel products.

We offer customized services via a sophisticated account management system accessible on our online platform. After logging on with a unique identification, a customer can track order status, manage itineraries and check membership points, coupons and travel vouchers.

***Our Mobile Platform***

Our Android and Apple iOS-based mobile applications, such as *Tuniu Travel*, and the mobile version of our website, *m.tuniu.com*, allow customers to search for travel products and services and place orders on mobile devices. Our mobile platform also enables customers to track their order status and provides other location-based services to allow users to quickly locate a variety of nearby scenic spots.

Through *Tuniu Travel*, our customers can search for travel products and services and complete a booking within minutes. *Tuniu Travel* also serves as an important and integral part of customers' research on travel-related information.

***Our Customer Services***

When selecting a travel company or platform, leisure travellers often look beyond factors such as price and selection and focus on enjoyable experiences, in which our customer service plays a crucial part. We believe that the quality customer service provided by our well-trained tour advisors and customer service representatives attract our customers towards our online platform.

*Offline nationwide service network.* Our primary call center is located in our headquarter in Nanjing. Our call centers provide 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week customer service before, during and after travels, from answering customers' initial inquiries on their travel-related needs to assisting them in making and amending their travel bookings. For inquiries on detailed product information and itinerary management, our customer service representatives allocate them via destination to our in-house tour advisors, who follow up with our customers within half an hour to address their concerns and needs. We have implemented comprehensive performance measures to monitor our calls to ensure that our customers receive quality services.

*Tour Advisors*. Tour advisors are trained through in-house training workshops as well as training sessions provided by travel suppliers to closely assist our customers throughout their travel planning and booking process, from pre-sale consultation to final order confirmation. Our tour advisors are equipped with product expertise to guide customers through the details of available packaged tours on our online platform and provide insightful advice on our customers' desired travel destinations. Our tour advisors provide professional guidance on product selection, price, travel requirements and payment to ensure an efficient and informed shopping experience.

To improve the travel experience for our customers, we are committed to sharing part of their losses due to certain unexpected events. For example, if our customers cannot travel due to death, pregnancy, serious injury, hospitalization or rejection of visa applications after entering into contracts with us, we will provide them with travel vouchers equivalent to a portion of the amounts paid which are redeemable towards the purchase of our travel products at a later time.

**Supply Chain Management**

Our travel suppliers primarily include tour operators, travel services providers and wholesalers of travel products and services in China. We believe that our ability to enable these travel suppliers to extend their reach to potentially millions of internet users in China and fulfill their needs for inventory management allows us to attract new, quality travel suppliers and build stronger ties with our existing travel suppliers. We have a product procurement team dedicated to developing and enhancing our relationships with existing and prospective travel suppliers.

We source a broad range of products from travel suppliers who have significant advantages in the destinations we cover and who offer travel products at competitive prices, which enhances our ability to attract more customers to our online platform. Our growing customer base in turn attracts more travel suppliers, creating a virtuous cycle that strengthens our leading market position.

We generally enter into contracts with travel suppliers based on our standard form. Travel suppliers often pay us rebates based on our business volume. In addition, some of the travel suppliers require prepayments for reserving tour availabilities. Typically, we settle payment with travel suppliers on a weekly basis. To date, substantially all of the travel suppliers have sought to pursue continuing cooperation opportunities with us.

We conduct a rigorous process in qualifying travel suppliers and in selecting their travel products and services to be offered on our platform. In qualifying a potential travel supplier, we focus on its reputation, product quality, track record, credibility and price competitiveness.

In addition, travel suppliers can participate in biddings for priority listings, prominent placements for biddings and advertising displays on our website for the travel products they supply.

***Product Selection***

We adopt an open-source procurement strategy to source quality travel products in the destinations we cover. Our product procurement team works closely with travel suppliers to ensure that customers are provided with high-quality travel products. In addition, we conduct regular price comparisons for travel products to assess the competitiveness of the pricing of travel products offered on our platform.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Supply Management***

We hosted a major conference event for our travel suppliers and presented to our travel suppliers our projected travel demand trends each year before the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, which has been suspended since 2020. However, we regularly communicate with travel suppliers, mainly through our product procurement team and our proprietary N-Booking system, to keep them informed of any changes to the supply outlook so that they can respond to customer demand in a timely manner. This helps us and the travel suppliers make timely adjustments to procurement plans.

***Supplier Quality Control***

We have developed product and service provision protocols for travel suppliers to follow. We have a dedicated team in charge of monitoring travel suppliers based on customer feedback, which also provides recommendations for travel suppliers to improve their service quality and the products they supply. We impose penalties on travel suppliers or cease listing their travel products on our platform if their products fail to meet our quality standards or if we receive valid complaints from our customers. We also prepare regular assessment reports on travel suppliers based on the popularity, quality and price competitiveness of their travel products. To monitor and further improve the quality of travel suppliers and the products and services we offer, we proactively collect feedback from our customers after their travels.

***B2B distribution***

We launched our B2B distribution business in September 2015 and rebranded it to Difeng Cloud in October 2018. Based on Tuniu's direct procurement and integration with the supply chain, Difeng Cloud scaled by offering Tuniu's products and resources to other distributors within the leisure travel industry. Difeng Cloud offers travel products including packaged tours and other travel-related products such as hotel reservations, attraction tickets and visa applications.

***N-Booking System***

Our N-Booking system streamlines the interactions between us and travel suppliers via web and mobile while offering travel suppliers the following features:

*Product Management*. Travel suppliers can submit details of their travel products via an easy-to-navigate online interface. After our review and approval, we will post the details provided by the travel suppliers and the prices determined by us on our online platform. In addition, our N-Booking system provides travel suppliers with an option to use descriptions and photos of destinations and tourist attractions in our database.

*Just-In-Time Management*. Our N-Booking system provides travel suppliers with access to real-time inventory data and gives them a wide range of inventory management tools. Our N-Booking system also notifies travel suppliers of any changes in the inventory level of the travel products we source from them, which enables them to adjust their procurement and sales plans in a timely manner, and allows them to receive booking information real-time through the web or mobile devices to manage travel products more efficiently. As such, we are able to deliver real-time information on product availability, provide our customers with prompt booking and order confirmations, and gain deeper insights into customer preferences.

*Account Management*. Travel suppliers can review transaction history details on our N-Booking system.

*Data Analysis*. Travel suppliers can analyze and understand user behavior based on their browsing history captured by our big data platform. Travel suppliers can keep track of traffic brought to the travel products supplied by them on our online platform and are able to evaluate the competitiveness of different travel products. We believe the user information gathered from our online platform reflects current leisure travel market trends in China and provides market insights to travel suppliers for their procurement planning and product design. Travel suppliers are able to develop an in-depth understanding of customers' behaviors and preferences with our data mining and analytics capabilities.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**Technology**

We have built our technology infrastructure with high levels of performance, reliability, scalability and security to ensure superior customer and supplier experiences. We rely on internally developed proprietary technologies and licensed technologies to manage and improve our website, mobile platform and management systems. We have a team of engineers dedicated to the research and development of website operations, mobile platform, search engine, data analytics and supply chain management system.

We believe that an advanced technology platform is vital to our growth and success. We obtained ISO 9001:2015 certification for our quality management system indicating our compliance with internationally recognized standards for quality control in 2023. As long as our management system continues to meet the requirements of such standards, we are expected to remain certified until 2026, subject to further re-certification.

***Product Search***

We strive to present relevant and useful search results in a timely fashion to ensure the accuracy, efficiency and synchronism of our search results. We have developed search technologies that allow us to retrieve, index, filter and rank real-time product information. We are able to prioritize search results and display information most suited to our customers' requirements in a simple and intuitive interface in real-time. Our core search technologies include the following:

*Real-time Indexing*. Our search infrastructure enables changes in product data to be indexed, processed and reflected in search results on a real-time basis.

*Smart Caching*. We maintain a database with massive product information on packaged tours, hotels, flights and other travel-related services. We have designed an auto-prioritizing method to update the database by ranking popular products based on different criteria, such as popular cities, most-visited attractions, top-rated products and most-viewed products. Different refreshing frequencies are applied to different products.

*Accuracy Checking*. Our accuracy-checking software complements our smart caching system and displays the latest product information such as prices and product descriptions. When a user clicks on the interested search result, an accuracy checker is triggered to retrieve the updated product information and present it to the user.

*Fuzzy Query Processing*. We maintain a dictionary for travel-related keywords in Chinese, where keywords are classified and linked to each other based on their meanings. We have also developed a query search algorithm based on user inputs to enhance our ability to dissect natural language queries. Such technologies help us better understand the meanings of queries and produce the most relevant and useful search results. We also provide additional search features such as query spelling correction, query suggestion and search by Chinese phonetics, commonly known as Pinyin.

***Big Data Analysis***

We gather and analyze customer behavior and data for our procurement, inventory management and marketing purposes. We also provide selected data to travel suppliers, enabling them to optimize their product designs and marketing strategies.

*Big Data Platform*. We have developed our big data platform based on a distributed computing system. Such data analytics capabilities help us gain a deeper understanding of existing and prospective customers and market trends, make customized recommendations to customers and improve our applications and products accordingly.

*Streaming Data Analysis*. We have also built a streaming data processing pipeline based on our big data platform to view the browsing history of the users of our online platform and to allow travel suppliers to review their performance data near real-time.

*Web Content Mining*. Our web content processing system links user generated content which includes customer reviews, travel stories and tips as well as destination guides such as locations, hotels and tourist attractions. This allows users of our online platform to obtain information of different destinations and travel products and services in a user-friendly manner.

***Artificial Intelligence (AI) Applications***

We are exploring the application of AI across various business functions. In April 2025, we launched our proprietary travel AI agent, "AI Assistant Xiao Niu." The assistant leverages large language models (LLMs) tailored to travel-specific use cases to provide customers with comprehensive services, including intelligent search, automated price comparison, personalized recommendations, and dynamic packaging.

We continue to integrate AI and other technological tools into our daily operations. These initiatives have improved operational efficiency and helped control operating costs. We have observed growing adoption of our AI tools among both customers and employees.

We have adopted an open-platform strategy by providing external AI agents, such as OpenClaw, with access to the travel booking capabilities available through our app via a Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface, enabling the AI agents to search for and place bookings directly. We intend to continue leveraging AI technologies to support our sustainable, high-quality growth.

***N-Booking System***

We have developed a proprietary N-Booking system, accessible via web and mobile, that streamlines the interactions between us and travel suppliers. Our N-Booking system also allows travel suppliers to receive booking information real-time through the web or mobile devices to manage travel products more efficiently and understand customer preferences better. See "—Supply Chain Management—N-Booking System."

***Customer Relationship Management System***

Through a customer relationship management system, we gather, analyze and make use of internally-generated customer behavior and transaction data based on customers' historical purchase and browsing records. We regularly use this information in budgeting and procurement planning as well as in planning our marketing initiatives and promotional campaigns.

***Data Security***

Our system servers are currently housed in Nanjing, and have secure and dedicated communication links among them. All data are backed up on an hourly basis. Our system servers utilize digital certificates to help us conduct secure communications and transactions. The performance of our system servers is monitored and maintained by an internal team that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Customer sensitive information, such as password and payment information, is stored with encryption, and our data servers are secured with firewalls.

***Dynamic Packaging System***

Backed by our data analytics capabilities, we have established a dynamic packaging system that enables our users to customize their own travel packages tailored to their individual needs. This system is able to combine trip components from different suppliers to provide truly customized trips, automating and placing in the hands of our customers a function that was previously performed manually. It uses algorithms and past customer data to filter out unnatural choices and provide customers with relevant choices based on their ascertainable behavior.

**Seasonality**

Our business experiences fluctuations, reflecting seasonal variations in the demand for leisure travel services. Sales of leisure travel products and services generally will increase during holiday periods and decrease during off-peak times, while prices of leisure travel products and services are subject to fluctuation between peak seasons and low seasons. For example, the third quarter of each year generally contributes the highest percentage of our annual revenues, because many of our customers tend to travel during summer holidays in July and August.

**Marketing and Brand Building**

We continue to build and maintain a strong Tuniu brand through both traditional offline marketing media and online marketing channels. We organize targeted campaigns, make promotional and seasonal offers and cooperate with domestic and foreign tourism boards and bureaus in holding promotional events and marketing campaigns.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

While our offline advertising plays an important role in promoting our brand image, we complement our branding campaigns through mobile and online channels. We promote our mobile app through advertisements in the mobile app store and various display advertisements. In addition, our presence in online social media such as WeChat and Weibo helps us maintain engagement with our targeted customers.

As part of our cross-marketing effort, we have agreements with financial institutions to recommend our products and services to their debit or credit card holders, and we allow these cardholders to settle their payments for travel products purchased from us using these cards with discounts. For instance, we cooperated with several major banks in China and launched co-branded credit cards, through which cardholders may book with us and are entitled to discounts, bonus points and certain other privileges.

Furthermore, our customer loyalty program allows our customers to accumulate membership points and coupons as they purchase travel products and services. Our membership points have a fixed validity term and, before expiry, customers may redeem these points for future purchases. Our customer loyalty program is designed to encourage repeat purchases. Currently, our membership has seven levels. For customers who meet certain spending thresholds, we upgrade their membership status to the next level, entitling them to further discounts and more points for their spending. For all customers who have joined our loyalty program, we provide them with designated customer service representatives to handle their travel needs.

In April 2020, we launched our live streaming shows to promote our own products. This online marketing format is popular for both product sales and content offerings, such as the introduction of products and destinations. We have developed our live streaming shows mainly via third-party platforms. In 2022, we established our own MCN agency. In addition to having our own employees conduct and host live streaming shows, we collaborate with external agencies that run live streaming sessions on their own channels to promote and sell our products.

**Competition**

We compete primarily with all other types of online travel companies. In addition, we compete with traditional travel service providers and tour operators. In the self-guided tour business, as we sell packaged tours which include flights and hotels, we also compete with airlines and hotels, which in recent years have made efforts to improve their direct sales. Large, established internet companies have also launched applications offering travel products in various destinations around the world. Factors affecting our competitiveness include, among other things, price, availability and breadth of choice of travel products and services, brand recognition, customer services, ease of use, accessibility, security and reliability of our transaction and service infrastructure.

Some of our current and potential competitors may have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. In addition, some of our competitors may be acquired by, receive investment from or enter into strategic relationships with larger, well-established and well-financed companies or investors. They may be able to devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns and devote substantially more resources to website and system development than us. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—We face intense competition and may not be able to compete successfully against existing and new competitors."

**Intellectual Property**

Our success and ability to compete depend, in part, upon our ability to establish and adequately protect our intellectual property rights. In this regard, we rely primarily on a combination of copyright, software registration, trademark, trade secret and unfair competition laws and contractual rights, such as confidentiality agreements with our employees and others. As of December 31, 2025, we had 175 registered computer software copyrights, 28 registered patent and 27 registered artwork copyrights in China. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, we had 99 registered domain names that were material to our business, including *tuniu.com*, and 494 registered trademarks, including 途牛 (the Chinese characters of Tuniu).

**Insurance**

We maintain various insurance policies to safeguard against risks and unexpected events. We have purchased travel companies' liability insurance covering expenses related to accidents caused by us. We have also maintained property insurance policies for our fixed assets covering losses due to fire, explosion, lightning, storm, landslide, subsidence and aircraft damage.

**PRC Regulation**

This section sets forth a summary of the significant regulations or requirements that affect our business activities in mainland China or our shareholders' rights to receive dividends and other distributions from us.

***Regulations on Value-Added Telecommunication Services***

The PRC government extensively regulates the telecommunications industry, including the internet sector. The State Council, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Commerce, the SAMR, the National Administration of Radio and Television, the National Press and Publication Administration and other government authorities have promulgated an extensive regulatory scheme governing telecommunications, internet-related services and e-commerce.

The Telecommunications Regulations issued by the State Council in September 2000 and amended in February 2016 are the primary regulations governing telecommunication services. Under the Telecommunications Regulations, it is a requirement that telecommunications service providers procure operating licenses prior to commencement of their operations and there are two types of telecommunication operating license for operators in China, namely, licenses for basic telecommunications services and licenses for value-added telecommunications services. Internet content provision services, or ICP services, is a subcategory of value-added telecommunications services.

The Administrative Measures on Internet Information Services promulgated by the State Council require commercial internet information services operators to obtain an ICP license from the government authorities before engaging in any commercial internet information services operations within the PRC. Nanjing Tuniu, our consolidated affiliated entity, obtained ICP licenses issued by the Jiangsu Administration of Telecommunication which will expire in July 2027.

In addition to the Telecommunications Regulations and the other regulations as mentioned above, the provision of commercial internet information services on mobile internet applications is regulated by the revised Regulations for the Administration of Mobile Application Information Services, which came into effect on August 1, 2022. Pursuant to these regulations, mobile app providers shall comply with provisions on the scope of necessary personal information when engaging in personal information processing activities and shall not compel users to agree to non-essential personal information collection or ban users from their basic functional services due to their refusal of providing unnecessary personal information. In addition, mobile app providers shall, among other things, verify the identities of registered users; establish and improve procedures for protecting user information and information content censorship, fulfill data security protection obligations and various obligations of minors' protection, and shall not induce users to download the applications by illegal methods or bad information. Furthermore, mobile app providers who launch new technologies, applications or functions with the attribute of public opinion or the ability of social mobilization shall conduct security assessment. If an application provider violates these regulations, application distribution platforms may issue warnings, suspend the release of its applications, or terminate the sale of its applications, and/or report the violations to government authorities, and such application provider may be imposed administrative penalty by the Cyberspace Administration of China and other competent authorities in accordance with the laws and regulations. In recent years, the PRC government has taken steps to strengthen the supervision on the utilization of algorithm in the field of internet information service. On December 31, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of State Security jointly promulgated the Administrative Provisions on Internet Information Service Algorithm Recommendation, which took effect on March 1, 2022, implementing classification and hierarchical management for algorithm recommendation service providers and stipulating that algorithm recommendation service providers shall inform users of their provision of algorithm recommendation services in a conspicuous manner and make the basic principles, purpose intentions and main operating mechanisms of algorithm recommendation services publicly available. Algorithm recommendation service providers selling goods or providing services to consumers shall protect consumers' rights of fair trade and be prohibited from carrying out illegal conducts such as unreasonably differentiated treatment on transaction conditions based on consumers' preferences, purchasing habits, and other such characteristics.

***Foreign Investment in Value-Added Telecommunications Services***

On March 15, 2019, the National People's Congress promulgated the PRC Foreign Investment Law, which became effective on January 1, 2020. Pursuant to the PRC Foreign Investment Law, "foreign investments" refer to investment activities conducted by foreign investors directly or "indirectly" in the PRC, including: (i) foreign investors setting up foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC solely or jointly with other investors, (ii) foreign investors obtaining shares, equity interests, property portions or other similar rights and interests of enterprises within the PRC, (iii) foreign investors investing in new projects in the PRC solely or jointly with other investors, and (iv) investment of other methods as specified in laws, administrative regulations, or as stipulated by the State Council. Although VIE structure is not explicitly defined as a method of foreign investment, it remains to be further clarified as to whether VIE structure will be interpreted to fall under the scope of circumstance (iv) mentioned above. Please also refer to "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure—Substantial uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of the newly adopted PRC Foreign Investment Law and its implementation rules and how they may impact the viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations."

According to the PRC Foreign Investment Law and its implementation rules, China adopts a system of pre-entry national treatment plus negative list with respect to foreign investment administration, where "pre-entry national treatment" means that the treatment given to foreign investors and their investments at market access stage is no less favorable than that given to domestic investors and their investments, and "negative list" means entry management measures for foreign investment's access to specific fields or industries. Foreign investment beyond the negative list will be granted national treatment. Foreign investors shall not invest in the prohibited fields as specified in the negative list, and foreign investors who invest in the restricted fields must comply with the special requirements on the shareholding, senior management personnel, etc. The current industry entry clearance requirements governing investment activities in the PRC by foreign investors are set out in two categories, namely the 2024 Negative List and the Encouraged Industry Catalog for Foreign Investment (2025 version), both promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce. Industries not listed in these two categories are generally deemed "permitted" for foreign investment unless specifically restricted by other PRC laws. Industries such as value-added telecommunication business, which we are engaged in, are generally regarded as restricted fields to foreign investment pursuant to the 2024 Negative List, and we conduct business operations in restricted fields through the VIE.

On December 19, 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce promulgated the Measures for the Security Review of Foreign Investment, which took effect on January 18, 2021. According to the Measures for the Security Review of Foreign Investment, the foreign investment security review work mechanism shall be established to conduct the security review and the general office responsible for the security review will be set in the National Development and Reform Commission and be jointly led by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce. Foreign investments in military, national defense-related areas or in locations in proximity to military facilities, or foreign investments that would result in acquiring the actual control of assets in certain key sectors, such as critical agricultural products, energy and resources, equipment manufacturing, infrastructure, transport, cultural products and services, information technology, internet products and services, financial services and technology sectors, are subject to the foreign investment security review by such foreign investment security review work mechanism. Acquiring actual control includes any investment in which foreign investors obtain more than 50% of equity interest in the invested enterprise or, in the event that the equity interest is less than 50%, the voting rights owned by such foreign investors have significant impact on the shareholders meeting and board of directors of the invested enterprise or where there is any other circumstance that enables foreign investors to exert a significant impact on the business decision-making, personnel, finance, technology, etc. of the invested enterprise.

Pursuant to the Provisions on Administration of Foreign-Invested Telecommunications Enterprises, promulgated by the State Council in December 2001 and amended most recently in March 2022, unless otherwise provided for by the state, the ultimate foreign equity ownership in a value-added telecommunications services provider may not exceed 50%. For example, the 2024 Negative List allows foreign investors to hold more than 50% equity interests in a value-added telecommunications service provider engaging in e-commerce, domestic multiparty communication, storage-and-forward and call center businesses. Pursuant to the Notice regarding the Strengthening of Ongoing and Post Supervision of Foreign Invested Telecommunication Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in October 2020, foreign investors are no longer subject to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pre-approval requirements, but foreign invested telecommunications enterprises are still required to submit foreign investor qualification materials to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology when applying for new telecommunication operating permits or amended permits. Since further implementing rules with respect to the above new policies on foreign investment in value-add telecommunications services have yet to been promulgated, significant uncertainties exist with respect to their interpretation and implementation by authorities in practice.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Pursuant to the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Foreign Investment in and Operation of Value-added Telecommunications Business issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in July 2006, a domestic company that holds an ICP license is prohibited from leasing, transferring or selling the license to foreign investors in any form, and from providing any assistance, including providing resources, sites or facilities, to foreign investors that conduct value-added telecommunications business illegally in China. Furthermore, the trademarks and domain names that are used in the value-added telecommunications business must be owned by the domestic ICP license holder or its shareholders. This circular further requires each ICP license holder to have the necessary facilities for its approved business operations and to maintain such facilities in the regions covered by its license. In addition, all value-added telecommunications service providers are required to maintain network and information security in accordance with the standards set forth under PRC regulations.

In light of the aforesaid restrictions, we rely on Nanjing Tuniu, our consolidated affiliated entity, to hold and maintain the licenses necessary to provide online marketing services and other value-added telecommunications services in China. For a detailed discussion of our contractual arrangements, please refer to "—C. Organizational Structure." To comply with these PRC regulations, we operate our website and value-added telecommunications services through Nanjing Tuniu. Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries hold our ICP licenses and own all the domain names used in our value-added telecommunications businesses. Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries are also the owner of all the registered trademarks used in our value-added telecommunications businesses and are the applicant of all the registered trademark applications we are currently making.

***Regulations on Information Security and Censorship***

The PRC government regulates and restricts internet content in China to protect state security and ensure the legality of the internet content. The National People's Congress, China's national legislative body, enacted a Decision on the Safeguarding of Internet Security in December 2000, as subsequently amended in August 2009, which makes it unlawful to: (1) gain improper entry into a computer or system of strategic importance; (2) disseminate politically disruptive information; (3) leak state secrets; (4) spread false commercial information; or (5) infringe intellectual property rights. Pursuant to the Administrative Measures on Internet Information Services and other applicable laws, internet content providers and internet publishers are prohibited from posting or displaying over the internet content which violates PRC laws and regulations, impairs the national dignity of China, or is reactionary, obscene, superstitious, fraudulent or defamatory. Internet service providers are required to monitor their websites, including electronic bulletin boards. They may not post or disseminate any content that falls within these prohibited categories and must remove any such content from their websites. The PRC government may shut down the websites of ICP license holders that violate any of the above-mentioned content restrictions and revoke their ICP licenses. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has published regulations that subject ICP operators to potential liability for content displayed on their websites and the actions of users and others using their systems, including liability for violations of PRC laws and regulations prohibiting the dissemination of content deemed to be socially destabilizing. On September 15, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China promulgated the Opinions of the Cyberspace Administration of China on Further Enforcing the Subject Responsibilities of Website Platforms for Information and Content Management, which further require the website platforms to play the role of the first responsible persons for management of the information and content and effectively improve the level of network management and governance.

The Ministry of Public Security has promulgated the Administrative Measures for the Security Protection of International Connections to Computer Information Network in December 1997, as amended in January 2011, that prohibits the use of the internet in ways which, among other things, result in a leakage of state secrets or the distribution of socially destabilizing content. Socially destabilizing content includes any content that incites defiance or violations of PRC laws or regulations or subversion of the PRC government or its political system, spreads socially disruptive rumors or involves cult activities, superstition, obscenities, pornography, gambling or violence. Under PRC laws, state secrets are defined broadly to include information concerning PRC national defense, state affairs and other matters as determined by the PRC authorities. The Ministry of Public Security has the authority to order any local internet service provider to block any internet website at its sole discretion.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

In December 2005, the Ministry of Public Security promulgated the Provisions on Technological Measures for Internet Security Protection. These measures and the Administrative Measures on Internet Information Services require all ICP operators to keep records of certain information about their users (including user registration information, log-in and log-out time, IP address, content and time of listings by users) for at least 60 days and submit the above information as required by laws and regulations. The ICP operators must regularly update information security and censorship systems for their websites with local public security authorities, and must also report any public dissemination of prohibited content. If an ICP operator violates these measures, the PRC government may revoke its ICP license and shut down its websites. In December 2012, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress promulgated the Decision on Strengthening Network Information Protection to enhance the legal protection of information security and privacy on the internet. The decision also requires internet operators to take measures to ensure confidentiality of information of users. In July 2013, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology promulgated the Provisions on Protection of Personal Information of Telecommunication and Internet Users to regulate the collection and use of users' personal information in the provision of telecommunication service and internet information service in China. In August 2015, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress promulgated the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law, which became effective in November 2015 and reinforced the criminal culpability of unlawful collection, transaction, and provision of personal information. It further provides that any network service provider that fails to fulfill the obligations related to internet information security administration as required by applicable laws and refuses to rectify upon orders will be subject to criminal liability. In addition, the Opinions of the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Public Security on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Criminal Procedures in Handling of Criminal Cases Involving Information Networks, which took effect on September 1, 2022, further provides for detailed procedures facilitating the handling of criminal cases of (i) refusing to perform the obligation of managing the security of the information networks, (ii) illegally using the information networks, or (iii) assisting in the criminal activities of the information networks. In November 2016, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress promulgated the PRC Cyber Security Law, as most recently amended in October 2025 with effect as of January 2026, which requires, among others, that network operators take security measures to protect the network from interference, damage and unauthorized access and prevent data from being divulged, stolen or tampered with. Network operators are also required to collect and use personal information in compliance with the principles of legitimacy, properness and necessity, and strictly within the scope of authorization by the subject of personal information unless otherwise prescribed by laws or regulations. The Civil Code of the PRC promulgated in 2020 also provides specific provisions regarding the protection of personal information.

On December 15, 2019, the Cyberspace Administration of China promulgated Provisions on Ecological Governance of Network Information Content, which took effect on March 1, 2020. These provisions provide the requirements for the content producers of the network information, the service platforms for the network information and the users of the network information. Among others, these provisions classify the network information into the "encouraged category", the "prohibited category" and the "prevented and resisted category". The content producers of network information are encouraged to produce, copy and publish network information in the encouraged category, prohibited from producing, copying or publishing network information in the prohibited category, and shall take measures to prevent and resist the production, reproduction and publication of undesirable information in the prevented and resisted category. In addition, the service platforms for the network information shall strengthen the management of information content, and upon discovery of any prohibited information or prevented and resisted information, shall immediately take measures in accordance with the laws, keep the records, and report the same to the competent government authorities. A service platform for network information shall compile an annual report on the ecological governance of network information.

On September 30, 2022, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the SAMR jointly promulgated the Administrative Provisions on Internet Pop-up Window Information Push Services. According to these provisions, the following actions, among the others, are prohibited: (i) pushing illegal and detrimental information as provided in the Provisions on Ecological Governance of Network Information Content; (ii) pushing news information through a pop-up window without internet news information service license and other applicable licenses or approvals; (iii) unreasonably pushing different information to member users and non-member users, or by any means interfering or affecting users to close pop-up windows; (iv) using algorithms for profiling minor users and pushing information that may affect their physical and mental health; and (v) pushing pop-up windows showing third-party links and QR codes for malicious redirection. The advertising information pushed through pop-up windows shall be identifiable, with "advertising" and close marks conspicuously indicated therein, and one-click close of advertising information shall be ensured.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

On December 28, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China, together with other competent government authorities, jointly promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which took effect on February 15, 2022. Pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, critical information infrastructure operators that procure internet products and services, or network platform operators that process data must be subject to the cybersecurity review if their activities affect or may affect national security. The Cybersecurity Review Measures further stipulates that network platform operators that hold personal information of over one million users shall apply with the Cybersecurity Review Office for a cybersecurity review before any public offering at a foreign stock exchange. The competent government authorities may also initiate a cybersecurity review against the operators if the authorities believe that the network products or services or data processing activities of such operators affect or may affect national security. The Cybersecurity Review Measures also set out certain general factors which would be the focus in assessing the national security risk during a cybersecurity review. However, there are still uncertainties as to the exact scope of network product or service or data processing activities that will or may affect national security, and the PRC government authorities may have discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of these measures.

On November 16, 2022, the Cyberspace Administration of China promulgated the Revised Administrative Provisions on Services of Online Comment Threading, which took effect on December 15, 2022. These provisions regulate all internet-based information services with the functions of online comment threading, and explicitly include "likes" in the scope of the services of online comment threading. These provisions also specify the way to certify the real identity information of registered users shall be based on the principle of "using the real name at the back end and using an alias or real name voluntarily at the front end", prohibiting providing services of online comment threading to users who impersonate organizations or other people's identity information. Under these provisions, comment threading service providers shall establish information security management systems to handle complaints and reports, so as to timely detect and deal with unlawful and detrimental information; develop and employ information security management technology for online comment threading to enhance the ability to deal with unlawful and detrimental information; and strengthen review training for online comment threading to improve the professional skills of the reviewing editors. Also, the comment threading service providers are not allowed to infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of others and public interests, seek illegal gains, maliciously interfere with the comment threading order, or mislead the public opinion by releasing, deleting and pushing comment information, using software, hiring commercial organisations and personnel to disseminate information and other means of interfering with the presentation of comment information.

On June 10, 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress promulgated the PRC Data Security Law, which took effect in September 2021. The PRC Data Security Law, among other things, provides for security review procedure for data processing activities that may affect national security. The PRC Data Security Law also introduces a data classification and hierarchical protection system based on the importance of data in economic and social development, as well as the degree of harm it will cause to national security, public interests, or legitimate rights and interests of individuals or organizations when such data is tampered with, destroyed, leaked, or illegally acquired or used. The appropriate level of protection measures is required to be taken for each respective category of data. In addition, the PRC Data Security Law provides a national security review procedure for those data activities which may affect national security and imposes export restrictions on certain data and information. We may be required to make further adjustments to our business practices to comply with this law.

On July 12, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other authorities jointly issued the Provisions on the Administration of Security Vulnerabilities of Network Products. These provisions state that, no organization or individual may abuse the security vulnerabilities of network products to engage in activities that endanger network security, or to illegally collect, sell, or publish the information on such security vulnerabilities. Anyone who is aware of the aforesaid offences shall not provide technical support, advertising, payment settlement and other assistance to the offenders. According to these provisions, network product providers, network operators and platforms collecting network product security vulnerabilities shall establish and improve channels for receiving network product security vulnerability information and keep such channels available. These provisions also ban the provision of undisclosed vulnerabilities to overseas organizations or individuals other than to the product providers.

On July 30, 2021, the State Council issued the Regulations on Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure, which became effective on September 1, 2021. Pursuant to these regulations, critical information infrastructure means key network facilities or information systems of critical industries or sectors, such as public communication and information service, energy, transportation, water conservation, finance, public services, e-government affairs and national defense science, the damage, malfunction or data leakage of which may endanger national security, people's livelihoods and the public interest. However, the exact scope of "critical information infrastructure operators" under the current regulatory regime still remains unclear, and the PRC government authorities may have discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, rules and regulations.

On July 7, 2022, the Cyberspace Administration of China promulgated the Measures for the Security Assessment of Cross-Border Data Transmission, which came into effect on September 1, 2022. According to these measures, data processors shall be subject to security assessment conducted by the Cyberspace Administration of China prior to any cross-border transfer of data if the transfer involves (i) important data; (ii) personal information transferred overseas by operators of critical information infrastructure or a data processor that has processed personal information of more than one million persons; (iii) personal information transferred overseas by a data processor who has already provided personal information of 100,000 persons or sensitive personal information of 10,000 persons overseas accumulatively since January 1 of last year; or (iv) other circumstances as prescribed by the Cyberspace Administration of China. According to the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Measures for the Security Assessment of Cross-Border Data Transmission cover (1) overseas transmission and storage by data processors of data generated during PRC domestic operations, and (2) access to or use of the data collected and generated by data processors and stored in the PRC by overseas institutions, organizations or individuals. Furthermore, any cross-border data transfer activities conducted in violation of the Measures for the Security Assessment of Cross-border Data Transmission before the effectiveness of these measures are required to be rectified by March 2023. On February 22, 2023, the Cyberspace Administration of China promulgated the Provisions on the Prescribed Agreement on Cross-border Data Transfer, effectively on June 1, 2023. Further, on March 22, 2024, the Cyberspace Administration of China promulgated the Provisions on Promoting and Regulating Cross-Border Data Flows, effective on the date of promulgation. The provisions provide several exemptions from undergoing security assessment, obtaining personal information protection certification, or entering into prescribed agreement for cross-border transfer of personal information for businesses. These exemptions include, among others, scenarios where a data processor transfers personal information abroad for the necessity of implementing cross-border HR management in accordance with labor rules and regulations established by law and collective contracts signed in accordance with law and where a data processor, other than CIIO, has cumulatively transferred overseas the personal information (excluding sensitive personal information) of fewer than 100,000 individuals since January 1 of the current year. The provisions also explicitly state that data processors are not required to conduct data security assessment for cross-border data transfers if the concerning data has not been notified or published as important data by relevant departments or regions. Substantial uncertainties still exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of these measures and provisions in practice and how they will affect our business operation and the value of our securities. Since our businesses engage in cross-border data transfer, we need to comply with the foregoing requirements as well as any other limitations under PRC laws then applicable. Additionally, to the extent we are found to be not in compliance with these laws and requirements, we may be subject to fines, regulatory orders to suspend our operations or other regulatory and disciplinary sanctions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On September 24, 2024, the State Council released the Cyber Data Security Regulations, which came into into effect on January 1, 2025. The Cyber Data Security Regulations applies to cyber data processing activities conducted within China and has extraterritorial effects under specific circumstances. The Cyber Data Security Regulations serves as a joint implementation regulation of the Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law. It consolidates and integrates various obligations of different types of cyber data processors, including general obligations of cyber data processors, obligations of personal information processors, obligations of key data processors, and obligations of network platform service providers. The Cyber Data Security Regulations stipulates that cyber data processors should standardize data processing activities, implement cybersecurity level protection measures, establish network data security management systems, and develop cyber data security incident emergency plans. Furthermore, the Cyber Data Security Regulations refines the provisions of the Personal Information Protection Law on notification, consent, and individual exercise of rights. The regulations also clarify the obligations that cyber data processors should also fulfill when processing the personal information of more than 10 million people, such as designating and specifying persons and management bodies responsible for data security.

In addition, the State Secrecy Bureau has issued provisions authorizing the blocking access to any website it deems to be leaking state secrets or failing to comply with the legislation regarding the protection of state secrets. As Nanjing Tuniu is an ICP operator, it is subject to the laws and regulations relating to information security. To comply with these laws and regulations, it has completed the mandatory security filing procedures with the local public security authorities, regularly updates its information security and content-filtering systems with newly issued content restrictions, and maintains records of users' information as required by the laws and regulations. Nanjing Tuniu has also taken measures to delete or remove links to content that to its knowledge contains information violating PRC laws and regulations.

The majority of the content posted on our online platform is first screened by our filtering systems. Content containing prohibited words or images is then manually screened by employees who are dedicated to screening and monitoring content published on our platform and removing prohibited content. We believe that with these measures in place, no material violations have arisen out of the public dissemination of prohibited content through our online platform under PRC information security laws and regulations in the past. However, there is a significant amount of content posted on our online platform by our users on a daily basis. If any prohibited content is publicly disseminated in the future and we become aware of it, we will report it to the government authority. We believe these measures taken by us are generally in compliance with the laws and regulations.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

If, despite the precautions, we fail to identify and prevent illegal or inappropriate content from being displayed on or through our online platform, we may be subject to liability. In addition, these laws and regulations are subject to interpretation by the authorities, and it may not be possible for us to determine in all cases the types of content that could result in liability. To the extent that PRC regulatory authorities find any content displayed on or through our online platform objectionable, they may require us to limit or eliminate the dissemination or availability of such content or impose penalties, including the revocation of our operating licenses or the suspension or shutdown of our online operations. In addition, the costs of compliance with these regulations may increase as the volume of content and the number of users on our online platform increases.

***Regulations on Internet Privacy***

The PRC Constitution states that PRC law protects the freedom and privacy of communications of citizens and prohibits infringement of these rights. In recent years, PRC government authorities have promulgated laws and regulations on internet use to protect personal information from any unauthorized disclosure. The Decisions on Strengthening Network Information Protection and the Regulation on Protection of Personal Information of Telecommunication and Internet Users provide that information that identifies a citizen, the time or location for his use of telecommunication and internet services, or involves privacy of any citizen such as his birth date, ID card number, and address is protected by law and must not be unlawfully collected or provided to others. ICP operators collecting or using personal electronic information of citizens must specify the purposes, manners and scopes of information collection and uses, obtain consent of the affected citizens, and keep the collected personal information confidential. ICP operators are prohibited from disclosing, tampering with, damaging, selling or illegally providing others with, collected personal information. ICP operators are also prohibited from collection and use of personal information after a user has stopped using the services. ICP operators are required to take technical and other measures to prevent the collected personal information from any unauthorized disclosure, damage or loss. The Administrative Measures on Internet Information Services prohibit an ICP operator from insulting or slandering a third party or infringing upon the lawful rights and interests of a third party. The telecommunications authorities are further authorized to order ICP operators to rectify unauthorized disclosure. ICP operators are subject to legal liability if they violate provisions on internet privacy. Such requirements are reiterated by the Regulations on Protection of Personal Information of Telecommunications and internet Users. If an ICP operator appoints an agent to undertake any marketing and technical services that involve the collection or use of personal information, the ICP operator is required to supervise and manage the protection of such information. The PRC government, however, has the power and authority to order ICP operators to turn over personal information if an internet user posts any prohibited content or engages in illegal activities on the internet.

Pursuant to the Cyber Security Law, personal information refers to all kinds of information recorded by electronic or otherwise that can be used to independently identify or be combined with other information to identify a specific natural persons. Such information includes but not limited to a natural person's name, date of birth, ID number, biologically identified personal information, address and telephone numbers, etc. The Cyber Security Law also provides that: (i) to collect and use personal information, network operators shall follow the principles of legitimacy, rightfulness and necessity, disclose their rules of data collection and use, clearly express the purposes, means and scope of collecting and using the information, and obtain the consent of the persons whose data is gathered; (ii) network operators shall neither gather personal information unrelated to the services they provide, nor gather or use personal information in violation of the provisions of laws and administrative regulations or the scopes of consent given by the persons whose data is gathered; and shall dispose of personal information they have saved in accordance with the provisions of laws and administrative regulations and agreements reached with the persons whose data is collected; and (iii) network operators shall not divulge, tamper with or damage the personal information they have collected, and shall not provide the personal information to others without the consent of the persons whose data is collected. However, exceptions may apply if the information has been processed and cannot be recovered and thus it is impossible to match such information with any specific persons. The most recently amended Cyber Security Law increases the legal liability for violations and integrates and unifies the penalties for violation of network operation security protection obligations, violation of critical information infrastructure security protection obligations and violation of personal information protection obligations. Since the amendments recently became effective, there still exists substantial uncertainties with respect to its interpretation and implementation.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

In August 2019, the Cyberspace Administration of China promulgated Provisions on Online Protection of Children's Personal Information, which came into effect in October 2019. These provisions state that network operators' collection, storage, transfer, and disclosure of children's personal information must follow the principles of legitimacy and necessity, awareness and consent, clear purpose, protection of security and legal use. Network operators shall clearly inform children's guardian and obtain his consent when collecting, storing, using, transferring and disclosing children's personal information. According to these provisions, network operators must adopt personal information protection rules and user agreements specifically for children's personal information and appoint persons dedicated to be responsible for the protection of children's personal information. In addition, network operators must strictly limit the access authorization to children's personal information within their staff members to the minimum. In April, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Interim Administrative Provisions on Personal Information Protection in Internet Mobile Applications (Draft for Comment). The draft of the Interim Administrative Provisions on Personal Information Protection in Internet Mobile Applications sets forth two principles of collection and utilization of personal information, namely "informed and consent" and "minimum necessity."

In November 2019, the Cyberspace Administration of China, together with the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the General Office of the Ministry of Public Security and the General Office of the SAMR, published the Guidelines for Identifying Illegal Collection and Use of Personal Information via Apps, which describes six categories of prohibited behaviors on illegal collection or use of user's personal information via Apps, and further broken down into 31 specific types, including (i) failure to publicly disclose rules of collecting and using personal information, (ii) failure to clearly express the purposes, means and scope of collecting and using personal information, (iii) collecting or using personal information without users' consent, (iv) violating the principle of necessity and collecting personal information unrelated to services they provide, (v) providing personal information to others without the consent of the persons whose data is collected, and (vi) failure to provide functions of deleting or rectifying personal information as required by laws or failure to publicly disclose contact information for complaint or reporting. On March 12, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security and the SAMR jointly promulgated the Provisions on the Scope of Necessary Personal Information Required for Common Types of Mobile Internet Applications, which became effective on May 1, 2021, clarifying the scope of necessary information required for certain common mobile apps and stating that mobile apps operators may not deny users' access to basic functions and services when the users opt out of the collection of unnecessary personal information.

In August 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress promulgated the Personal Information Protection Law, which requires, among others, that (i) the processing of personal information should have a clear and reasonable purpose which should be directly related to the processing purpose, in a method that has the least impact on personal rights and interests, and (ii) the collection of personal information should be limited to the minimum scope necessary to achieve the processing purpose to avoid the excessive collection of personal information. Different types of personal information and personal information processing will be subject to various rules on consent, transfer, and security. Entities handling personal information shall bear responsibilities for their personal information handling activities, and adopt necessary measures to safeguard the security of the personal information they handle. As many specific requirements of Personal Information Protection Law remain to be clarified by the Cyberspace Administration of China, other regulatory authorities, and courts in practice, we may be required to make further adjustments to our business practices to comply with the requirements thereunder.

On June 27, 2022, the Cyberspace Administration of China promulgated the Administrative Provisions on the Account Information of Internet Users, effective from August 1, 2022, which regulate the registration, use, and management of internet users' account information by internet information service providers. These administrative provisions require internet information service providers to formulate and disclose internet user account management rules and platform conventions, enter into service agreements with internet users, and clarify the rights and obligations related to account information registration, use, and management. The internet information service providers shall protect and handle the internet users' account information in accordance with laws. The internet information service providers are also required to set up convenient complaints and whistleblowing portals in prominent locations, improve mechanisms for complaints and reporting acceptance, screening, handling, and feedback and promptly handle complaints and whistleblowing from users and the public.

***Regulations Relating to Online Transmission of Audio-Visual Programs***

On April 13, 2005, the State Council promulgated the Certain Decisions on the Entry of the Non-State-owned Capital into the Cultural Industry. On July 6, 2005, the predecessor of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and other PRC regulatory agencies jointly promulgated the Several Opinions on Introduction of Foreign Investment into the Cultural Sector. According to these regulations, non-state-owned capital and foreign investors are prohibited from conducting the business of transmitting audio-visual programs through information network.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

According to the Administrative Provisions on Internet Audio-Visual Program Service, promulgated on December 20, 2007 and amended on August 28, 2015, internet audio-visual program service refers to activities of making, editing and integrating audio-visual programs, providing them to the general public via internet, and providing audio-visual programs uploading and transmission services and providers of internet audio-visual program services are required to obtain an internet audio-visual program transmission license, issued by the competent department of radio, film and television or complete certain registration procedures. Providers of internet audio-visual program services are generally required to be either state-owned or state-controlled by the PRC government, and the business to be carried out by such providers must satisfy the overall planning and guidance catalog for internet audio-visual program service determined by the competent department of radio, film and television.

In 2008, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued the Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Application and Approval of License for Online Transmission of Audio-visual Programs, amended on August 28, 2015, which further sets forth detailed provisions concerning the application and approval process regarding the internet audio-visual program transmission license.

Further, on March 31, 2009, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television promulgated the Notice on Strengthening the Administration of the Content of Internet Audio-Visual Programs, which reiterates the requirements for the internet audio-visual programs to be published to the public through information networks, including those on mobile network (if applicable), where applicable, and prohibits certain types of internet audio-visual programs containing violence, pornography, gambling, terrorism, superstitions or other prohibited elements.

In addition, the Notice Concerning Strengthening the Administration of the Streaming Service of Online Audio-Visual Programs, promulgated by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television on September 2, 2016, emphasizes that, unless a specific internet audio-visual program transmission license is granted, an audio-visual programs service provider is forbidden from engaging in live streaming on major political, military, economic, social, cultural and sports events. According to the notice, online audio-visual live streaming service providers shall censor and tape such programs and retain them for at least 60 days for future check by the administrative departments; and they shall have an emergency plan in place to replace programs in violation of laws and regulations. Bullet-screen comments shall be forbidden in the live streaming of important political, military, economic, social, sports and cultural events. Special censor shall be appointed for bulletscreen comments in the live streaming of general cultural events of social communities and sports events.

As of the date of this annual report, we have not obtained an internet audio-visual program transmission license. For detailed analysis, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Doing Business in China—We may be adversely affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in PRC regulations of internet and related business and companies."

On November 4, 2016, the Cyberspace Administration of China promulgated the Administrative Provisions on Internet Live-Streaming Services. According to these provisions, an internet live-streaming service provider shall take various measures during operation of live streaming services, including, but not limited to: (i) establish a live-streaming content review platform, conducting classification and grading management according to the online live streaming content categories, user scale and others, add tags to graphics, video, audio or broadcast tag information for platforms; (ii) conduct verification on online live streaming users with valid identification information (e.g., authentic mobile phone numbers) and authentication registration of internet live-streaming issuers based on their identification documents (such as their identity certificates, business licenses and organization code certificates); (iii) examine and verify the authenticity of the identification information of online live streaming service publishers, classify and file such identification information records with the internet information offices at the provincial level where they are located and provide such information to the law enforcement departments upon legal request; and (iv) enter into a service agreement with internet live-streaming services user to specify both parties' rights and obligations and require them to comply with the laws, regulations and platform conventions; and (v) establish a credit-rating system and a blacklist system, to provide management and services according to such credit rating, prohibit re-registration of accounts by online live streaming service users on the black list and promptly report such users to the internet information offices.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

According to the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Online Show Live Broadcasting and E-Commerce Live Broadcasting promulgated by the National Radio and Television Administration on November 12, 2020, platforms providing online show live streaming or e-commerce live streaming services shall register their information and business operations by November 30, 2020 on the National Internet Audio-visual Platforms Information Management System. Live broadcasting platforms for online shows and e-commerce live broadcasting are requested to strengthen positive value guidance. Live broadcasting platforms for online shows need to manage the hosts and "reward" users based on the real-name registration system, and users who have not registered with real names or who are minors are prohibited from making rewards. The live broadcasting platforms are required to implement real-name registration system to prevent those who have not registered with real names or minors from making rewards. The platform is required to limit the maximum amount of rewards each user may give per time, day and month.

According to the Law of the PRC on the Protection of Minors (2020 Revision) effective from June 1, 2021, among others, live broadcasting service providers are not allowed to provide minors under age 16 with online live broadcasting publisher account registration service, and must obtain the consent from parents or guardians and verify the identity of the minors before allowing minors aged 16 or above to register live broadcasting publisher accounts.

Furthermore, pursuant to the Administrative Provisions on Online Audio and Video Information Services jointly promulgated by the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and National Radio and Television Administration on November 18, 2019 and effective on January 1, 2020, when the online audio and video information services provider produce, publish or spread untrue audio-visual information by way of utilizing new technologies such as deep learning or virtual reality, the disseminated information shall be identified in a noticeable way.

In order to further strengthen the standardized management of the online live streaming industry, certain PRC government agencies jointly issued the Circular on the Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Standardized Management of Online Live Streaming on February 9, 2021, which further states that live streaming platforms that provide online audio-visual program services must obtain internet audio-visual program transmission licenses (or complete the registration on the National Internet Audio-visual Platforms Information Management System) and complete the ICP filing procedure. As of the date of this annual report, we have not completed registration for distributing publications and providing live streaming services on our platform, however, we also provide online live streaming services on third parties' platforms which have completed such registration.

The Opinions on Regulating Online Live Streaming Tipping to Strengthen the Protection of Minors were promulgated on May 7, 2022, and require, among others, online platforms to establish special customer service team for minors to prioritize the handling of complaints and disputes related to minors, and timely refund the tipping from minors using adults' accounts. Furthermore, on June 8, 2022, the National Radio and Television Administration and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism promulgated the Code of Conduct for Online Streamers, further providing that online streamers shall not use minors or minor characters to conduct non-advertising commercial promotions, performance or as gimmicks to obtain commercial or improper benefits, and shall protect the legitimate rights and interests of minors.

***Regulations on Overseas Offering and Listing***

The M&A Rules, which were amended on June 22, 2009, with such amendments becoming effective as of the same date, require offshore SPVs formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. While the application of this regulation remains unclear, we believe, based on the advice of our PRC counsel, Fangda Partners, that CSRC approval was not required in the context of our initial public offering because (1) CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like our initial public offerings are subject to this regulation and (2) we established our PRC subsidiaries by means of direct investment other than by merger or acquisition of PRC domestic companies, and no explicit provision in the M&A Rules classifies the contractual arrangements between Beijing Tuniu, our PRC subsidiary, Nanjing Tuniu, our consolidated affiliated entity, and its shareholders as a type of acquisition transaction falling under the M&A Rules.

On July 6, 2021, the PRC government authorities issued the Opinions on Intensifying Crack Down on Illegal Securities Activities. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies and proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Pursuant to the currently effective 2024 Negative List, if a domestic company engaging in the prohibited business stipulated in the 2024 Negative List seeks an overseas offering and listing, it shall obtain the approval from the competent government authorities. Besides, the foreign investors of the company shall not be involved in the company's operation and management, and their shareholding percentage shall be subject, mutatis mutandis, to the regulations on the domestic securities investments by foreign investors.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, and 5 supporting guidelines on the application of Regulatory Rules, which became effective on March 31, 2023, requiring Chinese domestic companies' overseas offerings and listings of equity securities be filed with the CSRC. The Overseas Listing Trial Measures clarify the scope of overseas offerings and listings by Chinese domestic companies which are subject to the filing and reporting requirements thereunder, and provide, among others, that Chinese domestic companies that have already directly or indirectly offered and listed securities in overseas markets prior to the effectiveness of the Overseas Listing Trial Measures shall fulfil their filing obligations and report their information to the CSRC within three working days after conducting securities offerings and listings outside of mainland China, including but not limited to follow-on offerings, secondary listings and going-private transactions, and follow the reporting requirements within three working days upon the occurrence of any specified circumstances provided thereunder. Moreover, an overseas offering and listing is prohibited if (i) it is prohibited by PRC laws, regulations or other rules, (ii) it may endanger national security as reviewed and determined by competent PRC authorities, (iii) in recent three years, the Chinese operating entities, or their controlling shareholders and actual controllers have committed any criminal act of corruption, bribery, embezzlement of property, misappropriation of property or disruption of the socialist market economic order, (iv) the Chinese operating entities are currently under investigations for suspicion of criminal offenses or major violations, and no clear conclusion has been reached yet; or (v) there is material ownership disputes over the equity held by the controlling shareholder or the shareholder(s) under the control of the controlling shareholder or the actual controller.

According to the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, if we are deemed as an indirect overseas listed Chinese domestic company but fail to complete the filing procedures with the CSRC for any of our future securities offerings and listings outside of mainland China, including but not limited to follow-on offerings, secondary listings and going-private transactions, or follow any other reporting requirements required thereunder, we may be subject to penalties, sanctions and fines imposed by the CSRC and departments of the State Council.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with certain other PRC government authorities, issued the Revised Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, which became effective on March 31, 2023. According to the Revised Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, Chinese companies that directly or indirectly conduct overseas offerings and listings, shall strictly abide by the laws and regulations on confidentiality when providing or publicly disclosing, either directly or through their overseas listed entities, documents and materials to securities services providers such as securities companies and accounting firms or overseas regulators in the process of their overseas offering and listing. In the event such documents or materials contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies, the Chinese companies shall first obtain approval from competent authorities according to law, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level with the approving authority; in the event that such documents or materials, if divulged, will jeopardize national security or public interest, the Chinese companies shall strictly fulfill the procedures stipulated by applicable national regulations. The Chinese companies shall also provide a written statement of the specific state secrets and sensitive information provided when providing documents and materials to securities companies and securities service providers, and the securities companies and securities service providers shall properly retain such written statements for inspection. According to the Revised Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, where overseas securities regulators or competent authorities request to inspect, investigate or collect evidence from Chinese domestic companies concerning their overseas offering and listing or their securities firms and securities service providers that undertake securities business for such Chinese domestic companies, such inspection, investigation and evidence collection must be conducted under the cross-border regulatory cooperation mechanism, and the CSRC or competent authorities of the Chinese government will provide necessary assistance pursuant to bilateral and multilateral cooperation mechanism. As the Revised Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions were recently promulgated, their interpretation and implementation remain substantially uncertain.

***Regulations on Air-ticketing***

The air-ticketing business is subject to the supervision of the China Aviation Transportation Association and its regional branches. Currently the principal regulation governing air-ticketing agencies in China is the Rules on Certification of Qualification for Civil Aviation Transport Sales Agencies, issued by the China Aviation Transportation Association, which became effective on March 31, 2006. Under these rules and the foreign investment regulations, any company acting as an air-ticketing sale agency must obtain approval from the China Aviation Transportation Association, and a foreign investor cannot currently own 100% of an air-ticketing agency in China, except for qualified Hong Kong and Macau aviation marketing agencies. In addition, foreign-invested air-ticketing agencies are not permitted to sell passenger airline tickets for domestic flights in China, except for Hong Kong and Macau aviation marketing agencies. In addition, the China Aviation Transportation Association issued the Supplementary Rules Regarding Sales via the Internet in 2008. These supplementary rules provide that, effective as of June 1, 2008, if an air-ticketing sales agency would like to engage in sales via the internet, it must obtain an ICP license from the local counterpart of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and must complete a commercial website registration with the local counterpart of the SAMR. Although we request that travel suppliers provide their licenses or permits to us before entering into agreements with them, we cannot ensure that all of travel suppliers engaged in the air ticketing sales agency service obtained, and maintained, all necessary permits. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—We may not be able to adequately control and ensure the quality of travel products and services sourced from travel suppliers. If there is any deterioration in the quality of their performance, our customers may seek damages from us and not continue using our online platform."

On March 3, 2021, the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China issued Administrative Provisions on Passenger Services for Public Air Transport, which took effect on September 1, 2021, requiring that operators of the aviation sales network platforms shall preserve the ticket-related information and ensure the completeness, confidentiality and availability of such information.

***Regulations on Hotel Operation***

In November 1987, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Measures for the Control of Security in the Hotel Industry, which were most recently amended in March 2022. In June 2004, the State Council promulgated the Decision of the State Council on Establishing Administrative License for the Administrative Examination and Approval Items Really Necessary To Be Retained, which has been amended from time to time. Under these regulations, anyone who applies to operate a hotel is subject to examination and approval by the local public security authority and must obtain a special industry license. The Measures for the Control of Security in the Hotel Industry impose certain security control obligations on the operators. For example, the hotel must examine the identification card of any guest to whom accommodation is provided and make an accurate registration.

***Regulations on Travel Companies***

The travel industry is subject to the supervision of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and its local counterparts. The current principal regulations governing travel companies in China include: (i) the Regulations on Travel Companies, issued by the State Council in February 2009, as amended, (ii) implementation rules for the Regulations on Travel Companies, promulgated in April 2009 and amended in December 2016, (iii) the PRC Tourism Law issued by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in 2013, and most recently amended in 2018, and (iv) the Measures for the Administration of the Overseas Tours of Chinese Citizens, issued by the State Council in 2002, and amended in 2017. Under these regulations, a travel company must obtain a license from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to conduct cross-border travel business and a license from the provincial-level culture and tourism administration to conduct domestic travel company business.

The Regulations on Travel Companies permit foreign investors to establish wholly foreign-owned travel companies, as well as joint ventures and cooperative travel companies. Foreign-owned travel companies are allowed to open branches nationwide, but are restricted from engaging in overseas travel business in China, unless otherwise determined by the State Council, or provided under a bilateral free trade agreement between the country and China, or the closer economic partnership agreements between mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. However, according to regulations promulgated by the State Council and/or other authorities, qualified foreign-invested travel companies registered in certain areas of mainland China are allowed to engage in overseas travel business, except in Taiwan area.

The implementation rules for the Regulations on Travel Companies define certain terms used in the Regulations on Travel Companies, for example, the definition of "domestic tourism business," "inbound travel business" and "overseas travel business", and set out detailed application requirements to establish a travel company. The above implementation rules also clarify certain aspects of legal liability for travel companies as prescribed in the Regulations on Travel Companies.

Pursuant to the PRC Tourism Law, travel companies are prohibited from arranging for compulsory shopping or other activities which charge additional fees on top of the contract prices that tourists have already paid, unless it is agreed upon by both parties through consultation or requested by the tourists and does not affect the itinerary of other tourists. Travel companies are required to pay quality deposits for compensation for damage to tourists' rights and advance payment of expenses for emergency assistance when the tourists' personal safety is in danger. Travel companies are required to engage tour guides, who are required to strictly follow the itineraries and are prohibited from altering arrangements without the consent of customers, suspending the provision of services, requesting tips from tourists, and arranging for compulsory shopping or other activities which charge additional fees on top of the contract prices that tourists have already paid by way of induction, deception, coercion or in other illegal forms. The information that travel companies release to attract or organize tourists is required to be authentic and accurate, and no false publicity can be made to mislead tourists. In addition, travel companies conducting business via the internet are required to present information of their travel company licenses on their websites, and ensure the truthfulness and accuracy of the travel-related information they release on their websites. Generally, travel companies soliciting tourists are required to take primary liabilities for any breach of travel contracts, including personal injury or property loss suffered by the tourists attributable to travel service providers and tour operators at destinations and their suppliers.

In 2010, China National Tourism Administration released the Measures for Dealing with Tourism Complaints, which took effect as of July 1, 2010. Under these measures, authorities which are responsible for dealing with tourist complaints are required to render a decision on the complaints within 60 days after the date of receipt thereof.

Although we take measures, such as requesting travel suppliers to provide their permits and/or licenses, we cannot make sure that all of the travel suppliers maintained all necessary permits. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—We may not be able to adequately control and ensure the quality of travel products and services sourced from travel suppliers. If there is any deterioration in the quality of their performance, our customers may seek damages from us and not continue using our online platform."

Under the Measures for the Administration of the Liability Insurance of Travel Companies which were promulgated in November 2010 and became effective as of February 1, 2011, travel companies are required to procure travel company liability insurance pursuant to these measures. The insurance companies are required to, subject to the liability limits provided under the insurance agreement, reimburse the travel companies for the compensation made by the travel companies for the personal injury or death and the loss of properties of tourists, tour guides or tour leaders. Pursuant to these measures, the liability limit for the personal injury or death of each person cannot be less than RMB200,000. Each of the consolidated affiliated entities engaged in travel agent business has procured and is covered by valid travel company liability insurance.

The PRC E-Commerce Law promulgated in 2018, strengthens the regulation on e-commerce operators relating to consumer protection, personal data protection and intellectual property rights protection. As an e-commerce operator, we are required under the PRC E-Commerce Law, (1) to refrain from conducting false or misleading commercial promotion by fabricating transactions, making up user comments or otherwise, to defraud or mislead consumers, (2) to allow consumers to opt out of search results targeting his or her personal characteristics such as hobbies and shopping patterns and simultaneously show the consumers with options not targeting his or her personally characteristics, (3) to alert consumers of tie-in sales of commodities or services, and shall not set the tied-in commodities or services as a default option, (4) to obtain and maintain a business license and other applicable licenses as required, and disclose information of such licenses at our front-page, (5) to clearly detail the refund procedure for the deposit we received from customers, and not set any unreasonable conditions to refund, (6) to take the risks and responsibilities in the transportation of the products, unless the consumer chooses a courier logistics service provider other than the default service provider, etc.

These measures specify typical examples of unreasonable restrictions or conditions imposed by e-commerce platform operators on transactions concluded on their platforms, including prohibiting or restricting the merchants to operate on other e-commerce platforms by means of unfair practices, such as reducing their search exposure, removing their products or services, blocking their stores etc., or prohibiting or restricting the merchants from freely choosing supporting service providers for transactions, such as logistics services providers.

According to these judicial interpretations, standard terms provided by e-commerce operators that are unfair and unreasonable to consumers may be deemed invalid, and contracts signed between e-commerce operators and others for false publicity by means of fictitious deals, hits or user comments should also be null and void. Moreover, an operator on e-commerce platform shall bear the liability as a product seller or service provider: (1) where the e-commerce platform operator on an e-commerce platform guides the consumer to make a payment through a method other than that provided by the transaction platform; (2) where prizes or gifts provided by the e-commerce operator during a promotion, or commodities bought by consumers for redemption, harm the consumers; (3) when the promised compensation standards are higher than the legal standards. In particular, even if the e-commerce platform does not engage in the sale of its own products or services, but the marks made thereon are sufficient to mislead consumers, the e-commerce platform shall be liable as the product seller or service provider. Furthermore, operators of livestreaming platforms are responsible for verifying the qualification and license of livestreamers who sell food products. On December 18, 2025, the SAMR and the Cyberspace Administration of China jointly issued Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Livestreaming E-commerce, which took effect on Febuary 1, 2026, requiring livestreaming platforms to establish a graded and categorized administration system for livestreamers, strengthen content review mechanisms, and improve systems for handling illegal conducts on the livestreaming e-commerce platforms.

Specifically, the recently issued implementation rules set forth detailed provisions on business operators' obligations, including protection of consumers' personal and property safety, avoiding fraudulent advertisement, price transparency, quality guarantee, and protection of consumers' personal information.

Correspondingly, a business operator providing a commodity or service to a consumer is subject to a number of requirements, which includes to ensure that commodities and services meet with certain safety requirements, to disclose serious defects of a commodity or a service and to adopt preventive measures against damage occurring, to provide consumers with accurate information and to refrain from conducting false advertising, and not to set unreasonable or unfair terms for consumers or alleviate or release itself from civil liability for harming the lawful rights and interests of consumers by means of standard contracts, circulars, announcements, shop notices or other means. A business operator may be subject to civil liabilities for failing to fulfill the obligations discussed above. These liabilities include restoring the consumer's reputation, eliminating the adverse effects suffered by the consumer, offering an apology and compensating for any losses incurred. The following penalties may also be imposed upon business operators for any infraction: issuance of a warning, confiscation of any illegal income, imposition of a fine, an order to cease business operations, revocation of its business license or imposition of criminal liabilities under circumstances that are specified in laws and statutory regulations.

The amended Consumer Protection Law further strengthens the protection of consumers and imposes more stringent requirements and obligations on business operators, especially on the business operators through the internet. The consumers whose interests are harmed due to their purchase of goods or acceptance of services on online marketplace platforms may claim damages from sellers or service providers. As to legal liabilities of the online marketplace platform provider, the Consumer Protection Law set forth that, where a consumer purchases products or accepts services via an online trading platform and his or her interests are prejudiced, if the online trading platform provider fails to provide the name, address and valid contact information of the seller, the manufacturer or the service provider, the consumer is entitled to demand compensation from the online trading platform provider. If the online trading platform provider gives an undertaking that is more favorable to consumers, it shall perform such undertaking. Once the online trading platform provider has paid compensation, it shall have a right of recourse against the seller, the manufacturer or the service provider. If an online trading platform provider is aware or ought to have been aware that a seller, manufacturer or service provider is using the online platform to infringe upon the lawful rights and interests of consumers and it fails to take necessary measures, it shall bear joint and several liabilities with the seller, the manufacturer or service provider for such infringement. The Civil Code of the PRC, which took effect on January 1, 2021, also provides that if an online service provider is aware that an online user is committing infringing activities, such as selling counterfeit products, through its internet services and fails to take necessary measures, it shall be jointly and severally liable with said online user for such infringement. If the online service provider receives any notice from the infringed party on any infringing activities, the online service provider shall take necessary measures, including deleting, blocking and unlinking the infringing content, in a timely manner. Otherwise, it will be jointly and severally liable with the online user for the extended damages.

***Regulations on Intellectual Property Rights***

The PRC has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including trademarks, domain names and copyrights.

*Trademark*

The PRC Trademark Law and its implementation rules protect registered trademarks. The State Intellectual Property Office is responsible for the registration and administration of trademarks throughout the PRC. The Trademark Law has adopted a "first-to-file" principle with respect to trademark registration. As of December 31, 2025, we had 494 registered trademarks in different applicable trademark categories in China.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

In addition, pursuant to the PRC Trademark Law, counterfeit or unauthorized production of the label of another person's registered trademark, or sale of any label that is counterfeited or produced without authorization will be deemed as an infringement to the exclusive right to use a registered trademark. The infringing party will be ordered to stop the infringement immediately, a fine may be imposed and the counterfeit goods will be confiscated. The infringing party may also be held liable for the right holder's damages, which will be equal to the gains obtained by the infringing party or the losses suffered by the right holder as a result of the infringement, including reasonable expenses incurred by the right holder for stopping the infringement. If the gains or losses, or royalties are difficult to determine, the court may render a judgment awarding damages of up to RMB5,000,000.

*Domain Name*

Domain names are protected under the Administrative Measures on the Internet Domain Names promulgated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in August 2017 and effective on November 2017. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is the major regulatory body responsible for the administration of the PRC internet domain names, under the supervision of which the China Internet Network Information Center is responsible for the daily administration of .cn domain names and Chinese domain names. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Administrative Measures on Internet Domain Name on August 14, 2017 and then the China Internet Network Information Center issued the Rules for the Implementations of the Registration of State Top-Level Domain Name on June 18, 2019, which set forth basic rules for registration of domain names. The China Internet Network Information Center adopts the "first to file" principle with respect to the registration of domain names.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 99 registered domain names, including *www.tuniu.com*.

*Copyright*

Works are protected under the PRC Copyright Law adopted by the National People's Congress in 1990, as amended in 2001, 2010 and 2020, as well as its implementation rules adopted by the State Council in 1991, as amended in 2002, 2011 and 2013. Whether such protected works are published or not, copyrights duly obtained and enjoyed by the author or other copyright owner remain unaffected. Copyright owners, however, could register such protected works on a voluntary basis with National Copyright Administration or its local counterparts. We have registered 27 artwork copyrights in China.

Pursuant to the PRC Copyright Law and its implementation rules, creators of protected works enjoy personal and property rights, including, among others, the right of disseminating the works through information network. Pursuant to PRC regulations, rules and interpretations, internet service providers will be jointly liable with the infringer if they (i) participate in, assist in or abet infringing activities committed by any other person through the internet, (ii) are or should be aware of the infringing activities committed by their website users through the internet, or (iii) fail to remove infringing content or take other action to eliminate infringing consequences after receiving a warning with evidence of such infringing activities from the copyright holder. In addition, where an ICP service operator is clearly aware of the infringement of certain content against another's copyright through the internet, or fails to take measures to remove contents upon receipt of the copyright owner's notice, and as a result, it damages the public interest, the ICP service operator could be ordered to stop the tortious act and be subject to other administrative penalties such as confiscation of illegal income and fines. To comply with these laws and regulations, we have implemented internal procedures to monitor and review the content we have licensed from content providers before they are released on our website and remove any infringing content promptly after we receive notice of infringement from the legitimate rights holder.

*Software Copyrights*

Computer Software Protection Regulations promulgated by the State Council in December 2001, amended in 2011 and 2013, provide that the rights and interests of computer software copyright owners are protected. A Chinese citizen, legal person, or other organization shall be entitled to the copyright in software developed thereby regardless of whether the software has been published or not. A foreigner's or stateless person's software shall enjoy copyright if it is first distributed in China.

In order to further implement the Computer Software Protection Regulations, the State Copyright Bureau issued the Computer Software Copyright Registration Procedures in February 2002, amended in 2004, which apply to software copyright registration, license contract registration and transfer contract registration. As of December 31, 2025, we had 175 registered computer software copyrights in China.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

*Patents*

Patents are protected under the PRC Patent Law adopted by the National People's Congress in 1984, as amended in 1992, 2000, 2008 and 2020, as well as its implementation rules adopted by the State Council in 1985, as amended in 1992, 2001, 2002, 2010 and 2023. The Patent Office under the State Intellectual Property Office is responsible for receiving, examining and approving patent application. A patent is valid for a term of 20 years in the case of an invention and a term of 10 years in the case of utility models and designs. A third-party user must obtain consent or a proper license from the patent owner to use the patent. Otherwise, the use constitutes an infringement of patent rights.

***Civil Code of the PRC***

In accordance with the Civil Code of the PRC promulgated by the National People's Congress on May 28, 2020, which became effective as of January 1, 2021, internet users and internet service providers bear tortious liabilities in the event they infringe other persons' rights and interests through the internet. Where an internet user conducts tortious acts through internet services, the infringed person has the right to request the internet service provider to take necessary actions such as deleting contents, screening and delinking. The internet service provider, failing to take necessary actions after being informed, will be subject to joint and several liabilities with the Internet user with regard to the additional damages incurred. If an internet service provider knows an internet user is infringing other persons' rights and interests through its internet service but fails to take necessary action, it shall be jointly and severally liable with the internet user. We have internal policies designed to reduce the likelihood that user content may be used without proper licenses or third-party consents. When we are approached and requested to remove content uploaded by users on the grounds of infringement, we investigate the claims and remove any uploads that appear to infringe the rights of a third party after our reasonable investigation and determination.

***Regulations on Foreign Currency Exchange***

The principal regulations governing foreign currency exchange in China are the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations. Under PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, such as profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. By contrast, approval from or registration with competent government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of mainland China to pay capital account items, such as direct investments, repayment of foreign currency-denominated loans, repatriation of investments and investments in securities outside of mainland China. We generally follow the regulations and apply to obtain the approval of or registration with SAFE and other PRC government authorities or designated banks.

In March 2015, SAFE promulgated Circular 19, which expands a pilot reform of the administration of the settlement of the foreign exchange capitals of foreign-invested enterprises nationwide. Circular 19 allows all foreign-invested enterprises established in the PRC to settle their foreign exchange capital on a discretionary basis according to the actual needs of their business operation, provides the procedures for foreign invested companies to use Renminbi converted from foreign currency-denominated capital for equity investments. SAFE further promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Standardizing the Foreign Exchange Settlement Management Policy of Capital Account, or Circular 16, effective June 2016, which provides that discretionary settlement of foreign exchange applies to foreign exchange capital, foreign debt offering proceeds and remitted foreign listing proceeds, and the corresponding RMB capital converted from foreign exchange may be used to extend loans to related parties or repay intercompany loans (including advances by third parties).

In January 2017, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Further Improving Reform of Foreign Exchange Administration and Optimizing Genuineness and Compliance Verification, which stipulates several capital control measures with respect to the outbound remittance of profits from domestic entities to offshore entities, including (i) banks must check whether the transaction is genuine by reviewing board resolutions regarding profit distribution, original copies of tax filing records and audited financial statements, and (ii) domestic entities must retain income to account for previous years' losses before remitting any profits. Moreover, pursuant to this circular, domestic entities must explain in detail the sources of capital and how the capital will be used, and provide board resolutions, contracts and other proof as a part of the registration procedure for outbound investment.

On October 23, 2019, SAFE issued Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Promoting the Facilitation of Cross-border Trade and Investment, or Circular 28, which took effect on the same day and was further amended on December 4, 2023. This Circular 28, as amended, allows foreign-invested enterprises of non-investment nature to use their capital funds to make equity investments in China, provided that such investments do not violate the effective special entry management measures for foreign investment (negative list) and the target investment projects are genuine and in compliance with laws. The negative list of usage includes: (i) securities investment or other investment and wealth management (except for wealth management products and structured deposits with risk rating results of not higher than Grade II); (ii) granting loans to non-affiliated enterprises (except for circumstances where it is specified in the scope of business, or in four Pilot Free Trade Zone); or (iii) purchasing residential real estate not for self-use (except for enterprises engaging in real estate development and leasing operation).

According to the Circular on Optimizing Administration of Foreign Exchange to Support the Development of Foreign-related Business issued by SAFE on April 10, 2020, eligible enterprises are allowed to make domestic payments with their income under capital accounts such as capital funds, foreign debts and proceeds from overseas listing without submitting evidence of genuineness to the banks in advance, provided the use of such funds is genuine and in compliance with administrative regulations on the use of income under capital accounts.

The Circular of the State Administration for Foreign Exchange on Deepening of Reform in the Administration of Foreign Exchange for Cross-border Investment and Financingm, or Circular 43 promulgated by SAFE on September 12, 2025 further narrows the negative list governing the use of capital account income originally stipulated under the Circular 28. Pursuant to the Circular 43, the restriction about funds "shall not be used to purchase residential properties for non-self-use purposes (except for enterprises engaged in real estate development or leasing operations)" has been removed from the negative list, while the remaining three categories of restrictions on the use of capital account income continue to apply.

***Regulations on Dividend Distribution***

The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends of wholly foreign-owned enterprises include the PRC Company Law, which applies to both PRC domestic companies and foreign-invested companies, and the PRC Foreign Investment Law and its implementation rules, which apply to foreign-invested companies. Under these laws, regulations and rules, both domestic companies and foreign-invested companies in the PRC are required to set aside as general reserves at least 10% of their after-tax profit, until the cumulative amount of their reserves reaches 50% of their registered capital. PRC companies are not permitted to distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset. Profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year.

***Regulations on Offshore Financing***

Pursuant to the Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents' Offshore Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles issued by SAFE on July 4, 2014, prior registration with the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents in connection with their direct establish or indirect control of an offshore entity, for the purposes of overseas investment and financing, with assets or equity interests of onshore companies or offshore assets or interests held by such PRC residents, referred to in this circular as a "special purpose vehicle." The PRC residents are also required to amend the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch in the event of any significant changes with respect to the special purpose vehicle, such as increase or decrease of capital contributed by PRC residents, share transfer or exchange, merger, division or other material event.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Regulations on Employee Stock Option Plans***

In February 2012, SAFE promulgated the Stock Option Rules. Under the Stock Option Rules and other rules and regulations, PRC residents who participate in stock incentive plans in an overseas publicly-listed company, which includes employee stock ownership plans, stock option plans and other incentive plans permitted by the laws and regulations, are required to register with SAFE or its local branches and complete certain other procedures. Participants of a stock incentive plan in an overseas publicly listed company who are PRC residents must retain a qualified PRC agent, which could be a PRC subsidiary of the overseas publicly listed company or another qualified institution selected by the PRC subsidiary, to conduct the SAFE registration and other procedures with respect to the stock incentive plan on behalf of its participants. The participants must also retain an overseas entrusted institution to handle matters in connection with their exercise of stock options, the purchase and sale of corresponding stocks or interests and fund transfers. In addition, the PRC agent is required to amend the SAFE registration with respect to the stock incentive plan if there is any material change to the stock incentive plan, the PRC agent or the overseas entrusted institution or other material changes. The PRC agents must, on behalf of the PRC residents who have the right to exercise the employee share options, apply to SAFE or its local branches for an annual quota for the payment of foreign currencies in connection with the PRC residents' exercise of the employee share options. The foreign exchange proceeds received by the PRC residents from the sale of shares under the stock incentive plans granted and dividends distributed by the overseas listed companies must be remitted into the bank accounts in the PRC opened by the PRC agents before distribution to such PRC residents.

In addition, the State Taxation Administration has issued circulars concerning employee share options, under which our employees working in the PRC who exercise share options will be subject to PRC individual income tax. Our PRC subsidiaries have obligations to file documents related to employee share options with the tax authorities and to withhold individual income taxes of those employees who exercise their share options.

***Regulations on Employment***

The PRC Labor Law, the PRC Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules provide requirements concerning employment contracts between an employer and its employees. If an employer fails to enter into a written employment contract with an employee within one year from the date on which the employment relationship is established, the employer would be deemed to have entered into a labor contract without a fixed term with such employee. In addition, the employer must rectify the situation by entering into a written employment contract with the employee and pay the employee twice the employee's salary for the period from the day following the lapse of one month from the date of establishment of the employment relationship to the day prior to the execution of the written employment contract. The Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules also require compensation to be paid upon certain terminations. In addition, if an employer intends to enforce a non-compete provision with an employee in an employment contract or non-competition agreement, it has to compensate the employee on a monthly basis during the term of the restriction period after the termination or ending of the labor contract. Employers in most cases are also required to provide a severance payment to their employees after their employment relationships are terminated.

Enterprises in China are required by PRC laws and regulations to participate in certain employee benefit plans, including social insurance funds, namely a pension plan, a medical insurance plan, an unemployment insurance plan, a work-related injury insurance plan, a maternity insurance plan, and a housing provident fund, and contribute to the plans or funds in amounts equal to certain percentages of salaries, including bonuses and allowances, of the employees as specified by the local government from time to time at locations where they operate their businesses or where they are located.

**Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects**

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this annual report on Form 20-F. This report contains forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Information." In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the information provided under the caption "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors" in this annual report on Form 20-F. We caution you that our businesses and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.

**A.Operating Results**

**Overview**

We are an online leisure travel company in China that generates revenue from packaged tours and travel-related services for leisure travelers. We generated net revenues of RMB441.3 million, RMB513.6 million and RMB578.0 million (US$82.6 million) in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. We recognize revenues on a net basis for business arrangements under which our role acts as an agent that provides tour booking services under our organized tour arrangements with tour operators. We recognize revenues on a gross basis for business arrangements for our own brand Niu Tour in which we act as a principal. We had a net loss of RMB101.1 million and a net income of RMB83.7 million and RMB29.7 million (US$4.2 million) in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. We generally collect payments from our customers upon contract confirmation before we pay travel suppliers. Our net cash provided by operating activities was RMB232.8 million and RMB96.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 respectively, and our net cash used in operating activities was RMB109.1 million (US$15.6 million) for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability depends on our ability to effectively reduce our costs and expenses as a percentage of our net revenues. Our cost of revenues were RMB147.6 million, RMB155.6 million and RMB243.0 million (US$34.7 million) in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, representing 33%, 30% and 42% of our revenues, respectively. Our operating expenses were RMB395.6 million, RMB294.8 million and RMB323.7 million (US$46.3 million) in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, representing 90%, 57% and 56% of our revenues, respectively. The costs and expenses were affected by the level of spending associated with our business operations, including expenses related to regional expansion, branding and advertising campaigns, mobile related initiatives, technology, product development and administrative personnel, such as share-based compensation. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—We face risks related to natural disasters and health epidemics."

*Others*. Other revenues were RMB107.9 million, RMB106.2 million and RMB84.5 million (US$12.1 million) in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Our other revenues are primarily generated from (i) commission fees from other travel-related products and services, such as tourist attraction tickets, visa application services, accommodation reservation and transportation ticketing, with revenue recognized of RMB44.6 million, RMB47.9 million and RMB37.3million (US$5.3 million) for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively and (ii) fees for advertising services that we provide primarily to domestic and foreign tourism boards and bureaus, with revenue recognized of RMB27.6 million, RMB31.3 million and RMB29.3 million (US$4.2 million) for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively and (iii) service fees received from insurance companies, with revenue recognized of RMB8.4 million, RMB11.2 million and RMB10.5 million (US$1.5 million) for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively and (iv) sales of merchandises, whereas we are acting as a principal in these transactions and are responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified merchandises, for which revenue is recognized on gross basis with revenue recognized of RMB6.3 million, RMB7.9 million and RMB3.6 million (US$0.5 million) for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

***Cost of Revenues***

Our cost of revenues accounted for 33.4%, 30.3% and 42.0% as percentages of our net revenues in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

Revenues from packaged tours are mainly recognized on net basis (except for our own brand Niu Tour business in which we act as a principal, for which revenues are recognized on gross basis). Accordingly, the amounts we pay to travel suppliers for packaged tours are mainly recorded as a reduction to revenues, rather than cost of revenues.

Our cost of revenues mainly consists of amounts paid to tour operators or suppliers in connection with our own brand Niu Tour business in which we act as a principal, for which revenues are recognized on gross basis, salaries and other compensation-related expenses related to our tour advisors, customer services representatives, other personnel related to tour transactions and other expenses directly attributable to our principal operations, primarily including payment processing fees, telecommunication expenses, rental expenses, depreciation expenses, cost of merchandises and other service fees for financial service.

Other operating income accounted for 1.6%, 5.0% and 0.2% of our net revenues in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

**Taxation**

***Cayman Islands***

We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, we are not subject to income or capital gains tax. In addition, dividend payments are not subject to withholding tax in the Cayman Islands.

***Hong Kong***

Companies registered in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on the taxable income as reported in their respective statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with Hong Kong tax laws. The applicable tax rate is 16.5% in Hong Kong. Under the Hong Kong tax law, our Hong Kong subsidiaries are exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.

***PRC***

Our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities are subject to PRC enterprise income tax on the taxable income in accordance with the PRC income tax laws.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law effective from January 1, 2008 and most recently amended in 2018, our PRC subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entities are subject to the statutory rate of 25%, subject to preferential tax treatments available to qualified enterprises in certain sectors of the economy.

Nanjing Tuniu has qualified as an HNTE since 2010. In 2025, Nanjing Tuniu obtained a new HNTE certificate, which expires in 2028. Therefore, Nanjing Tuniu is eligible to enjoy a preferential tax rate of 15% from 2025 to 2027 to the extent it has taxable income under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, as long as it maintains the HNTE qualification and duly conducts enterprise income tax filing procedures with the tax authority. Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology qualified as an HNTE since 2017. In 2023, Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology obtained a new HNTE certificate, which expires in 2026. Therefore, Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology is eligible to enjoy a preferential tax rate of 15% from 2023 to 2025 to the extent it has taxable income under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, as long as it maintains the HNTE qualification and duly conducts enterprise income tax filing procedures with the tax authority.

Pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income, which became effective on December 8, 2006, a company incorporated in Hong Kong, such as Tuniu (HK) Limited, will be subject to withholding income tax at a rate of 5% on dividends it receives from its PRC subsidiaries, if it holds a 25% or more interest in that particular PRC subsidiary, or 10% if it holds less than a 25% interest in that PRC subsidiary.

If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, we will be subject to the uniform 25% enterprise income tax on our worldwide income. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Such classification would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders and would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment."

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Pursuant to the applicable PRC tax regulations, any entity conducting business in the service industry is generally required to pay value-added tax, or VAT, at the rate of 6% on the revenues generated from providing such services. Entities engaging in the travel business can deduct certain approved costs from their revenues in calculating VAT.

The majority of our business is subject to VAT at a rate of 6%. We are permitted to offset input VAT by providing valid VAT invoices received from vendors against our output VAT liability. Alternatively, the taxable income of tourism business may be calculated on net basis by deducting expenses (including expenses for accommodation, catering, transportation, visa, ticket and tourism fee paid to other entities/ individuals) if valid invoices are obtained.

On May 6, 2016, the State Taxation Administration issued the Administrative Measures for Value Added Tax Exemption on Cross-border Taxable Activities under the Program for the Collection of Value Added-Tax Instead of Business Tax, which was most recently amended on June 15, 2018, pursuant to which the tourism services provided overseas are exempted from VAT.

**Certain Corrections**

We announced unaudited quarterly financial results in 2025 and 2026. In the course of preparing our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, we made the following corrections to our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Included below are the revised financial statement line items and corresponding amounts (in RMB thousands) that were affected:

**Foreign Currency**

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded RMB6.0 million (US$0.9 million) of net foreign currency translation loss in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders' equity. To date, we have not entered into any material hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. See also "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors— Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Fluctuations in exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment" and "Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Exchange Risk."

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

See Note 2(ah) to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report for discussion on recent issued accounting pronouncements.

**B.Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Our primary sources of liquidity have been proceeds from operating activities, borrowings from banks, private issuances of ordinary and preferred shares, and our initial public offering. Our principal uses of cash were for operating activities, primarily including payments made to travel suppliers, marketing and brand promotion expenses, salaries and other compensation expenses as well as office rental and professional service fees.

Generally, our customers pay us upon contract confirmation, which is usually more than one month before the departure dates, and we pay the travel suppliers at a later date. The timing difference between when the cash is collected from our customers and when payments are made to travel suppliers increases our operating cash inflow and provides us with a source of liquidity to fund our settlement of outstanding accounts payable to travel suppliers and our prepayment to travel suppliers to secure packaged tours during peak seasons.

Our advances from customers decreased from RMB270.2 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB247.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and further decreased to RMB184.5 million (US$26.4 million) as of December 31, 2025, primarily due to the change in our operation mode. Accounts and notes payable decreased from RMB317.1 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB290.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and further decreased to RMB219.4 million (US$31.4 million) as of December 31, 2025, primarily due to the acceleration of settlement with travel suppliers. Furthermore, prepayments and other current assets, net, increased from RMB234.2 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB235.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and decreased to RMB157.6 million (US$22.5 million) as of December 31, 2025. Moreover, our sales and marketing expenses increased from RMB117.7 million in 2023 to RMB180.3 million in 2023 and further increased to RMB193.9 million (US$27.7 million) in 2025, primarily due to the increases in promotion expenses and marketing personnel related expenses. As a result, our net cash provided by operating activities was RMB232.8 million and RMB113.2 million in 2023 and 2024, respectively, and our net cash used in operating activities was RMB109.1 million (US$15.6 million) in 2025.

Our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and cash in bank, including demand bank deposits. Our short-term investments comprise financial products issued by banks or other financial institutions. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, we had RMB1,267.2 million and RMB1,139.1 million (US$162.9 million) in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and long-term deposits, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, we obtained cash from banks by discounting of bank acceptance notes with the amount of RMB180.0 million and RMB100.0 million (US$14.3 million), respectively, which are repayable within one year with interest rate ranging from 0.9% to 1.25%. The issuance of notes payable is pledged by our company's bank deposits of RMB180.0 million and RMB100.0 million (US$14.3 million) as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, which were recorded in short-term investments.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

We had net loss of RMB101.1 million and net income of RMB83.7 million and RMB29.7 million (US$4.2 million), for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Our net cash provided by operating activities was RMB232.8 million and RMB96.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively, and our net cash used in operating activities was RMB109.1 million (US$15.6 million) for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, our accumulated deficit was RMB8,317.0 million (US$1,189.3 million) and we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of RMB1,060.9 million (US$151.7 million) and working capital of RMB660.5 million (US$94.5 million). Based on our liquidity assessment, which has considered our operations at the current business scale, the available funding from maturity of our short-term and long-term investments and the available cash and cash equivalents, we will be able to meet our working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months subsequent to the filing of this annual report.

---

Our operating lease obligations primarily represent our obligations for the leased premises of our headquarter.

Our short-term bank borrowings represent borrowings from banks with maturity of less than one year.

Our capital commitments are commitments in relation to the purchase of property and equipment including leasehold improvements.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

We intend to fund our existing and future material cash requirements for at least the next twelve months after the issuance of this report using our existing cash balance, and these commitments have been considered in our assessment that we will be able to meet our obligations as they become due over that period. We will continue to make cash commitments, including capital expenditures, to support the growth of our business.

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet derivative instruments. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Other than as shown above, we did not have any significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations or guarantees as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, for the purpose of indebtedness, save as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report, we did not have significant contingent liabilities.

**Holding Company Structure**

We are a holding company with no operations of our own. We conduct our business in China through our PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities. As a result, our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders depends upon dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries. If our PRC subsidiaries or any newly formed PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. In addition, our PRC subsidiaries are permitted to pay dividends to us only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC law, our PRC subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulate profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of their respective registered capital. In addition, our PRC subsidiaries may allocate a portion of their respective after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to employee welfare and bonus funds at their discretion, and our consolidated affiliated entity may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a surplus fund at its discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. As our PRC subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entity have incurred losses, they have not started to contribute to the statutory reserve funds and discretionary funds. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of mainland China is subject to examination by the banks designated by SAFE. Our PRC subsidiaries have never paid dividends and will not be able to pay dividends until they generate accumulated profits and meet the requirements for statutory reserve funds.

**C.Research and Development**

We have built our technology infrastructure with high levels of performance, reliability, scalability and security. We rely on internally developed proprietary technologies and licensed technologies to manage and improve our website, mobile platform and management systems. We have a team of engineers dedicated to the research and development of website operations, mobile platform, search engine, data analytics and supply chain management system.

Research and product development expenses primarily comprise salaries and other compensation expenses for our research and product development personnel as well as office rental, depreciation and other expenses related to our research and product development function. Research and product development expenses also include expenses that are incurred in connection with the planning and implementation phases of development and costs that are associated with the maintenance of our online platform or software for internal use. Our research and product development expenses decreased from RMB57.0 million in 2023 to RMB52.7 million in 2024, but increased to RMB59.0 million (US$8.4 million) million in 2025, primarily due to the fluctuations in research and development personnel related expenses.

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this annual report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events for the period since January 1, 2026 that are reasonably likely to have a material and adverse effect on our net revenues, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future results of operations or financial conditions.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**E.Critical Accounting Estimates** 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires our management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are other items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements. For a detailed discussion of our principal accounting policies and related judgments, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2 Principal Accounting Policies".

***Long-term investments***

Long-term investments include equity investments and other long-term investments, which involve significant accounting estimates.

*Equity investments*

We elect a measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and where we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entity. Under the measurement alternative, we measured these investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income equal to the excess of the investment's cost over its fair value when the impairment is deemed other-than-temporary. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized an impairment loss of RMB13.6 million (US$1.9 million) on certain equity investments based on our assessment of current economic and market conditions with the considerations of the operating performance of the investees. The key parameters used in the assessment of certain investment are trailing P/S and discount for lack of marketability.

When our assumptions related to the estimates of the fair value of the investments decreased/increased by 5% while holding all other estimates constant, there would be no significant impact to our consolidated results of operations.

***Impairment of non-financial assets***

We evaluate our non-financial assets, including property and equipment, intangible assets, land use rights, prepayments for property and equipment and operating lease rights-of-use assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The asset group is the unit of account for a non-financial asset or assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. When these events occur, we measure impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of these assets.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Our non-financial assets including property and equipment, net of RMB18.9 million, intangible assets, net of RMB19.6 million, prepayments for property and equipment, net of RMB11.9 million and operating lease right-of-use assets, net of RMB6.9 million are considered one asset group which represents the lowest level to independently generate identifiable cash flows. The low market capitalization as of December 31, 2025 was considered as an impairment indicator for this asset group and we further performed impairment assessment by comparing the undiscounted cash flow expected to be generated from the usage and eventual disposal of the asset group and the carrying value of the asset group, using the key assumptions including revenue growth rate, gross margin, operating expenses and working capital requirements. Based on our assessment, the undiscounted cash flow of the asset group was higher than the carrying value of the asset group and hence no impairment of non-financial assets was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025.

When one of our assumptions relating to these factors increases or decreases by 5% while holding all other assumptions constant, the result of the non-financial assets impairment assessment would not be impacted and the fair value of the asset group would still be above its carrying value.

For share incentive grants to our directors and executive officers and the vesting conditions of such share incentive grants, see "—Share Incentive Plans."

**Share Incentive Plans**

***2008 Incentive Compensation Plan***

We adopted an incentive compensation plan in 2008, or the 2008 Plan. The purposes of the 2008 Plan were to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees and consultants, and to promote the success of our business by offering these individuals an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in our company. In 2012, we increased the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the 2008 Plan from 11,500,000 to 18,375,140. As of February 28, 2026, options to purchase 3,199,629 Class A ordinary shares were outstanding under the 2008 Plan. The 2008 Plan terminated automatically in 2018.

The following paragraphs summarize the terms of the 2008 Plan.

***Types of Awards***. The 2008 Plan permitted the awards of options and restricted shares.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Pursuant to the form award agreement under the 2008 Plan, 1/4 of the ordinary shares underlying the option shall vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and 1/48 of the remaining ordinary shares underlying the option shall vest on a monthly basis in the following three years. However, the option may be exercised, to the extent vested, only (a) in connection with or after certain triggering events if the option is assumed by a company whose shares are listed on a securities exchange, or (b) unless otherwise allowed by the plan administrator in its sole discretion, if the option holder obtains all the necessary governmental approvals and consents required for the issuance of such shares.

The maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2014 Plan was initially 5,500,000 ordinary shares as of the date of its approval. The number of shares reserved for future issuances under the 2014 Plan will be increased automatically if and whenever the ordinary shares reserved under the 2014 Plan account for less than 1% of the total then-issued and outstanding ordinary shares on an as-converted basis, as a result of which increase, the ordinary shares reserved under the 2014 Plan immediately after each such increase shall equal to 5% of the then-issued and outstanding ordinary shares on an as-converted basis, or the Evergreen Provision. Pursuant to the Evergreen Provision, the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the 2014 Plan increased automatically by an aggregate of 54,006,703 Class A ordinary shares in December 2014, August 2015, December 2016 and April 2023, respectively, reaching to a total of 59,506,703 Class A ordinary shares.

**C.Board Practices**

**Board of Directors**

Our board of directors currently consists of seven directors. A director is not required to hold any shares in our company. A director may vote with respect to any contract, proposed contract, or arrangement in which he or she is interested provided (a) such director has declared the nature of his or her interest, whether material or not, at the earliest meeting of the board at which it is practicable to do so, either specifically or by way of a general notice, (b) such director has not been disqualified by the chairman of the board meeting, and (c) if such contract or arrangement is a transaction with a related party, such transaction has been approved by the audit committee in accordance with the Nasdaq rules.

The compensation committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers. Our chief executive officer may not be present at any committee meeting during which his compensation is deliberated upon. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

● reviewing and approving, or recommending to the board for its approval, the compensation for our chief executive officer and other executive officers;

● reviewing and recommending to the board for determination with respect to the compensation of our non-employee directors;

● reviewing periodically and approving any incentive compensation or equity plans, programs or similar arrangements; and

***Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee***. Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Mr. Jack Liangjie Xu, Mr. Haijin Cheng and Mr. Haifeng Yan, and is chaired by Mr. Xu. Each of Mr. Xu, Mr. Cheng and Mr. Yan satisfies the "independence" requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules.

Despite a shareholder return being in place, before any dividend is declared and paid, we need to have enough profits to justify such declaration and payment, or we need to have sufficient reserves set aside from profits previously generated that our board of directors determines are no longer needed. In addition, we must be able to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business immediately following the dividend payment. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet all of such conditions to enable dividend declaration and payment in compliance with laws. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing and amount of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flows, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Therefore, the amount of dividends that you may receive is uncertain and subject to change. Additionally, our shareholder return policy is subject to change at any time at the discretion of our board of directors, and there can be no assurance that we will not adjust or terminate our policy in the future.

If we pay any dividends, we will pay our ADS holders to the same extent as holders of our ordinary shares, subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, including the fees and expenses payable thereunder. See "Item 12. Description of Securities Other than Equity Securities—D. American Depositary Shares." Cash dividends on our ordinary shares, if any, will be paid in U.S. dollars.

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We rely principally on dividends from our PRC subsidiaries for our cash requirements, including any payment of dividends to our shareholders. PRC regulations may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us. See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Regulations on Dividend Distribution" and "Item 12. Description of Securities Other than Equity Securities—D. American Depositary Shares." Cash dividends on our common shares, if any, will be paid in U.S. dollars.

**B.Significant Changes**

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**Registered Office and Objects**

Our registered office in the Cayman Islands is located at International Corporation Services Ltd, P.O. Box 472, 2nd Floor, North Wing, Harbour Place, 103 South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-1106, Cayman Islands, or at such other place as our board of directors may from time to time decide. The objects for which our company is established are unrestricted and we have full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the Companies Act, as amended from time to time, or any other law of the Cayman Islands.

**Board of Directors**

See "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—C. Board Practices."

**Ordinary Shares**

***General****.* Our authorized share capital is US$100,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 shares, with a par value of US$0.0001 each, which will be divided into 780,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.0001 each, 120,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.0001 each, and 100,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each of such class or classes (however designated) as our board of directors may determine. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. All of our outstanding ordinary shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates representing the ordinary shares are issued in registered form. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and transfer their ordinary shares.

***Dividends***. The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. Our current articles of association provide that dividends may be declared and paid out of our profits, realized or unrealized, or from any reserve set aside from profits which our board of directors determine is no longer needed. Dividends may also be declared and paid out of share premium account or any other fund or account which can be authorized for this purpose in accordance with the Companies Act. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are entitled to the same amount of dividends, if declared.

***Voting Rights***. In respect of all matters subject to a shareholders' vote, each Class A ordinary share is entitled to one vote, and each Class B ordinary share is entitled to ten votes, voting together as one class. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairman of such meeting or any shareholder present in person or by proxy. Each holder of our ordinary shares are entitled to vote such ordinary shares as are registered in his or her name on our register of members.

A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders who hold at least one third in nominal value of our share capital in issue at the meeting present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative. Shareholders' meetings may be held annually. Each general meeting, other than an annual general meeting, shall be an extraordinary general meeting. Extraordinary general meetings may be called by a majority of our board of directors or our chairman or upon a requisition of shareholders holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than one-third of the aggregate voting power of our company. Advance notice of at least 14 calendar days is required for the convening of our annual general meeting and other general meetings. All holders of ordinary shares are permitted to attend general and extraordinary meetings.

An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the ordinary shares cast at a meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes cast attaching to the outstanding ordinary shares at a meeting. A special resolution is required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our current memorandum and articles of association.

***Conversion***. Each Class B ordinary share can be convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by the holder. Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances. Upon any transfer of Class B ordinary shares by a holder to any person or entity which is not an affiliate of such holder, such Class B ordinary shares will be automatically and immediately converted into the equivalent number of Class A ordinary shares.

***Transfer of Ordinary Shares***. Subject to the restrictions set out below, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her ordinary shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our board of directors.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless:

● the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the ordinary shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

● the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of ordinary shares;

● the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

● in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the ordinary share is to be transferred does not exceed four;

● the shares transferred are free of any lien in favor of the Company; and

● a fee of such maximum sum as the Nasdaq Global Market may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof.

If our directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within three months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required of the Nasdaq Global Market, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our board of directors may from time to time determine, provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 calendar days in a year.

***Liquidation***. On a return of capital on winding up or otherwise (other than on conversion, redemption or purchase of ordinary shares), assets available for distribution among the holders of ordinary shares shall be distributed among the holders of the ordinary shares on a pro rata basis. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by our shareholders proportionately. Any distribution of assets or capital to a holder of a Class A ordinary share and a holder of a Class B ordinary share will be the same in any liquidation event.

***Calls on Ordinary Shares and Forfeiture of Ordinary Shares***. Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their ordinary shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 calendar days prior to the specified time of payment. The ordinary shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

***Redemption of Ordinary Shares***. The Companies Act and our current articles of association permit us to purchase our own shares. In accordance with our current articles of association and provided the necessary shareholders or board approval have been obtained, we may issue shares on terms that are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders of these shares, on such terms and in such manner, including out of capital, as may be determined by our board of directors.

***Alteration of Share Capital.*** We may from time to time by ordinary resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe. We may by ordinary resolution: (a) consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of a larger amount than its existing shares; (b) convert all or any of our paid up shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up shares of any denomination; (c) subdivide our existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; and (d) cancel any shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled. We may by special resolution reduce our share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorised by law.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Variations of Rights of Shares***. All or any of the special rights attached to any class of shares may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, be materially adversely varied with the written consent of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be materially adversely varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking *pari passu* with such existing class of shares, or by the creation or issue of shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

***Inspection of Books and Records***. Holders of our ordinary shares have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements. See "—H. Documents on Display."

***Issuance of Additional Shares***. Our current memorandum of association authorizes our board of directors to issue additional ordinary shares from time to time as our board of directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.

Our current memorandum of association also authorizes our board of directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preferred shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:

● the designation of the series;

● the number of shares of the series;

● the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights; and

● the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.

Our board of directors may issue preferred shares without action by our shareholders to the extent authorized but unissued. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of ordinary shares.

***Anti-Takeover Provisions***. Some provisions of our current memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preferred shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders.

***Exempted Company***. We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:

● does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;

● is not required to open its register of members for inspection;

● does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

● may issue shares with no par value;

● may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);

● may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

● may register as a limited duration company; and

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

● may register as a segregated portfolio company.

"Limited liability" means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company.

***Register of Members****.* Under the Companies Act, we must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein:

● the names and addresses of our members, a statement of the number and category of shares held by each member, and of the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member, and a confirmation whether each relevant category of shares held by a member carries voting rights under the articles of association of the Company, and if so, whether such voting rights are conditional;

● the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and

● the date on which any person ceased to be a member.

Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members of our company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e. the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members is deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members.

If the name of any person is incorrectly entered in or omitted from our register of members, or if there is any default or unnecessary delay in entering on the register the fact of any person having ceased to be a member of our company, the person or member aggrieved (or any member of our company or our company itself) may apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for an order that the register be rectified, and the Court may either refuse such application or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register.

**Differences in Corporate Law**

The Companies Act is modeled after that of English law but does not follow many recent English law statutory enactments. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware.

***Mergers and Similar Arrangements***. A merger of two or more constituent companies under Cayman Islands law requires a plan of merger or consolidation to be approved by the directors of each constituent company and authorization by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company's articles of association.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose a subsidiary is a company of which at least ninety percent (90%) of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

Save in certain circumstances, a dissentient shareholder of a Cayman constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares upon dissenting to a merger or consolidation. The exercise of appraisal rights will preclude the exercise of any other rights save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved by (a) 75% in value of the shareholders or class of shareholders, or (b) a majority in number representing 75% in value of the creditors or class of creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

● the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

● the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

● the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and

● the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act.

The Companies Act also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition, which may facilitate the "squeeze out" of dissentient minority shareholders upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90.0% of the shares, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing after the approval by the said holders, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved and sanctioned, or if a tender offer is made and accepted, in accordance with the foregoing statutory procedures, a dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

The Companies Act also contains statutory provisions which provide that a company may present a petition to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for the appointment of a restructuring officer on the grounds that the company (a) is or is likely to become unable to pay its debts within the meaning of Section 93 of the Companies Act; and (b) intends to present a compromise or arrangement to its creditors (or classes thereof) either, pursuant to the Companies Act, the law of a foreign country or by way of a consensual restructuring. The petition may be presented by a company acting by its directors, without a resolution of its members or an express power in its articles of association. On hearing such a petition, the Cayman Islands court may, among other things, make an order appointing a restructuring officer or make any other order as the court thinks fit. During such time as a petition is presented or an order appointing a restructuring officer remains on foot, Section 91G of the Companies Act prescribes an automatic worldwide moratorium on any suits, action or other proceedings, other than criminal proceedings against the Company.

***Shareholders' Suits****.* In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, there are exceptions to the foregoing principle, including when:

● a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires;

● the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could only be effected duly if authorized by more than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained; and

● those who control the company are perpetrating a "fraud on the minority."

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability***. Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our current memorandum and articles of association permit indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such unless such losses or damages arise from dishonesty, willful default, or fraud of such directors or officers. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our current memorandum and articles of association.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

***Directors' Fiduciary Duties****.* Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he or she owes the following duties to the company—a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him or her to do so) and a duty not to put himself or herself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.

***Shareholder Action by Written Consent***. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Cayman Islands law and our current articles of association provide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a unanimous written resolution signed by or on behalf of each shareholder who would have been entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting without a meeting being held.

***Shareholder Proposals***. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

Cayman Islands law does not provide shareholders any right to put proposals before a meeting or requisition a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in articles of association. Our current articles of association allow our shareholders holding not less than one-third of all voting power of our share capital in issue to requisition a shareholder's meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders' meeting, our current articles of association do not provide our shareholders other right to put proposal before a meeting. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders' annual general meetings.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

***Cumulative Voting****.* Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation's certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder's voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands but our current articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

***Removal of Directors****.* Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our current articles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause, by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders.

***Transactions with Interested Shareholders****.* The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an "interested shareholder" for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target's outstanding voting share within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target's board of directors.

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

***Dissolution; Winding up****.* Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation's outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so. Under the Companies Act and our current articles of association, our company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by a special resolution of our shareholders.

***Variation of Rights of Shares****.* Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under Cayman Islands law and our current articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class with the written consent of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

***Amendment of Governing Documents****.* Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation's governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by Cayman Islands law, our current memorandum and articles of association may only be amended with a special resolution of our shareholders.

***Rights of Non-resident or Foreign Shareholders****.* There are no limitations imposed by our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our current memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

**C.Material Contracts**

We have not entered into any material contracts other than in the ordinary course of business and other than those described in "Item 4. Information on the Company" or elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F.

**D.Exchange Controls**

See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—PRC Regulation—Regulations on Foreign Currency Exchange", "— Regulations on Dividend Distribution", "— Regulations on Offshore Financing" and "— Regulations on Employee Stock Option Plans."

**E.Taxation**

**Cayman Islands Taxation**

Travers Thorp Alberga, our Cayman Islands counsel, has advised us that the Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands that are likely to be material to holders of our ADSs or ordinary shares. The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

**People's Republic of China Taxation**

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, an enterprise established outside the PRC with a "de facto management body" within the PRC is considered a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes and is generally subject to a uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate on its worldwide income as well as tax reporting obligations. Under the implementation rules to the Enterprise Income Tax Law, a "de facto management body" is defined as a body that has material and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel and human resources, finances and properties of an enterprise. In addition, STA Circular 82 issued in April 2009 and amended in 2013 and 2017, specifies that certain offshore-incorporated enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups will be classified as PRC resident enterprises if all of the following conditions are met: (a) senior management personnel and core management departments in charge of the daily operations of the enterprises have their presence mainly in the PRC; (b) their financial and human resources decisions are subject to determination or approval by persons or bodies in the PRC; (c) major assets, accounting books and company seals of the enterprises, and minutes and files of their board's and shareholders' meetings are located or kept in the PRC; and (d) half or more of the enterprises' directors or senior management personnel with voting rights habitually reside in the PRC. Further to STA Circular 82, the State Taxation Administration issued STA Bulletin 45, which took effect in September 2011 and was amended in 2015 and 2016, respectively, to provide more guidance on the implementation of STA Circular 82. STA Bulletin 45 provides for procedures and administration details of determination on PRC resident enterprise status and administration on post-determination matters. If the PRC tax authorities determine that Tuniu Corporation is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. For example, a 10% withholding tax would be imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC enterprise shareholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC enterprise shareholders from transferring our shares or ADSs and potentially a 20% of withholding tax would be imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC individual shareholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC individual shareholders from transferring our shares or ADSs.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, PRC withholding tax at the rate of 10% is normally applicable to dividends from PRC sources payable to non-PRC resident enterprise holders of our ordinary shares or ADSs, which do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or which have such an establishment or place of business but the income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business. Any gain realized on the transfer of American depositary shares or shares by such non-PRC resident enterprise investors is also subject to 10% PRC income tax if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC unless a tax treaty or similar arrangement provides otherwise. Although substantially all of our business operations are based in China, it is unclear whether dividends we pay with respect to our ordinary shares or ADSs, or the gain realized from the transfer of our ordinary shares or ADSs, would be treated as income derived from sources within the PRC and as a result be subject to PRC income tax if we were considered a PRC resident enterprise, as described above. It is unclear whether, if we are considered a PRC resident enterprise, holders of our shares or ADSs would be able to claim the benefit of income tax treaties or agreements entered into between China and other countries or areas. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Such classification would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders and would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment."

The State Taxation Administration released its Announcement of the State Taxation Administration on Several Issues Concerning the Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Property Transfer by Non-Resident Enterprises, which became effective on February 3, 2015. This announcement sets forth detailed rules for the tax treatment of Indirect Transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises and other assets situated in China. Applying a "substance over form" principle, when a non-resident enterprise structures an Indirect Transfer of an equity interest in a PRC resident enterprise or other assets situated in China to avoid taxation under the enterprise income tax through arrangements lacking reasonable commercial purposes, the Indirect Transfer will be re-characterized as a direct transfer. As a result, any gains derived from the Indirect Transfer may be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10%. This announcement provides de facto safe harbor treatment for situations in which a non-resident enterprise buys and then sells shares, in the public securities markets, of a foreign listed company that holds an equity interest in a PRC resident enterprise, and thereby realizes a capital gain. However, in order for the safe harbor treatment to apply, both the purchase and sale must be conducted on the public securities markets so as to preclude market manipulation, and the equity interests purchased and sold must be those in the same enterprise. When shares sold in the public securities markets were obtained before such shares were listed on a public securities market or were not purchased through a public securities market, or when shares were purchased on a public market but are to be sold through non-public markets, the safe harbor treatment would not be applicable. In 2017, the State Taxation Administration released its Bulletin on Matters concerning Withholding of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises at Source which became effective on December 1, 2017. This bulletin updated the calculation method for the taxable income for the share transfer as well as stipulated the withholding obligation of the withholding agent. There is uncertainty as to the interpretation and application of both the announcement and the bulletin. We and our non-PRC resident shareholders may be at risk of being taxed under the announcement and the bulletin and we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with these regulations or to establish that we should not be taxed under these regulations. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—We face uncertainty regarding the PRC tax reporting obligations and consequences for certain indirect transfers of our operating company's equity interests. Enhanced scrutiny over acquisition transactions by the PRC tax authorities may have a negative impact on potential acquisitions we may pursue in the future."

**United States Federal Income Tax Considerations**

The following discussion is a summary of United States federal income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of our ADSs or ordinary shares by a U.S. Holder, as defined below, that holds our ADSs or ordinary shares as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) under section 1221 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). This discussion is based upon existing United States federal income tax law, which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or a court will not take a contrary position. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below (such as, for example, banks and certain financial institutions, insurance companies, pension plans, cooperatives, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment, persons liable for any minimum tax, partnerships and their partners or arrangements taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations), investors who are not U.S. Holders, investors that own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of our stock (by vote or value), investors that hold their ADSs or ordinary shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale or other integrated transaction or pursuant to any employee share option or otherwise as compensation) or investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar). In addition, this discussion does not address United States federal estate, gift, Medicare, and any minimum tax considerations, or state, local, and non-United States tax considerations. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state, local, and non-United States tax considerations of an investment in our ADSs or ordinary shares.

***General***

For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of our ADSs or ordinary shares that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created in, or organized under the laws of, the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has otherwise elected to be treated as a United States person under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our ADSs or ordinary shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships and partners of a partnership holding our ADSs or ordinary shares are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in our ADSs or ordinary shares.

For United States federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holder who hold ADSs will generally be treated as the holder of the underlying shares represented by those ADSs. The remainder of this discussion assumes that a U.S. Holder of our ADSs will be treated in this manner. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of our ordinary shares for our ADSs will generally not be subject to United States federal income tax.

***Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations***

A non-United States corporation, such as our company, will be classified as a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes, if, in the case of any particular taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of "passive" income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (generally determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, cash is categorized as a passive asset and the company's goodwill and unbooked intangibles associated with active business activities may generally be classified as active assets. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. We will be treated as owning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the stock.

Although the law in this regard is unclear, we treat the consolidated affiliated entities as being owned by us for United States federal income tax purposes, not only because we direct the activities of the operation of such entities but also because we are entitled to substantially all of their economic benefits, and, as a result, we consolidate their operating results in our consolidated financial statements.

Based on the market price of our ADSs and the nature and composition of our assets (in particular the substantial amount of cash and investments), we believe that we were a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ended December 31, 2025, and we will likely be a PFIC for our current taxable year ending December 31, 2026 unless the market price of our ADSs significantly increases and/or we invest a substantial amount of the cash and other passive assets we hold in assets that produce or are held for the production of active income.

If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ADSs or ordinary shares, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which such U.S. Holder holds our ADSs or ordinary shares. However, if we cease to be a PFIC, provided that you have not made a mark-to-market election, as described below, you may avoid some of the adverse effects of the PFIC regime by making a "deemed sale" election with respect to the ADSs or ordinary shares, as applicable. If such election is made, you will be deemed to have sold our ADSs or ordinary shares you hold at their fair market value and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the rules described below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules." After the deemed sale election, so long as we do not become a PFIC in a subsequent taxable year, your ADSs or ordinary shares with respect to which such election was made will not be treated as shares in a PFIC and you will not be subject to the rules described below with respect to any "excess distribution" you receive from us or any gain from an actual sale or other disposition of the ADSs or ordinary shares. The rules dealing with deemed sale elections are very complex. Each U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisors regarding the possibility and considerations of making a deemed sale election.

***Dividends***

Subject to the PFIC rules described below under "—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules", any cash distributions (including the amount of any PRC tax withheld) paid on our ADSs or ordinary shares out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, will generally be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as dividend income on the day actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder, in the case of ordinary shares, or by the depositary bank, in the case of ADSs. Because we do not intend to determine our earnings and profits on the basis of United States federal income tax principles, a U.S. Holder should expect that any distribution paid on our ADSs or ordinary shares will be treated as a "dividend" for United States federal income tax purposes. A non-corporate recipient of dividend income will generally be subject to tax on dividend income from a "qualified foreign corporation" at a lower applicable capital gains rate rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income provided that certain holding period and other requirements are met.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

A non-United States corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (a) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information program, or (b) with respect to any dividend it pays on stock (or ADSs in respect of such stock) which is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Our ADSs (but not our ordinary shares) are currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, which is an established securities market, and the ADSs are expected to be readily tradable for so long as they continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, although there can be no assurance in this regard. As described above, on May 19, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the closing bid price of the ADSs had been below US$1.00 per ADS for the previous 30 consecutive business days. We were given a period of 180 calendar days, or until November 17, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In response, we submitted an application to transfer the listing of our ADSs from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, which was approved by Nasdaq on November 21, 2025. In connection with the transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq granted us a second period of 180 calendar days, or until May 18, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our ADSs must meet or exceed US$1.00 per ADS for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days on or prior to May 18, 2026. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our ADSs and Class A Ordinary Shares—Our ADSs may be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market as a result of our failure of meeting the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing requirements." If our ADSs are delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and are not otherwise readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, dividends received on our ADSs would generally not be eligible to be taxed as dividend income from a qualified foreign corporation. Since we do not expect that our ordinary shares will be listed on established securities markets, we do not believe that dividends that we pay on our ordinary shares that are not backed by ADSs currently meet the conditions required for the reduced tax rate. However, in the event we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the Enterprise Income Tax Law (see "Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—"People's Republic of China Taxation"), we may be eligible for the benefits of the United States-PRC income tax treaty, or the Treaty, which the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States has determined is satisfactory for this purpose, and be treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid on our ADSs or ordinary shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends with respect to our ADSs or ordinary shares in their particular circumstances. Dividends received on our ADSs or ordinary shares will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations.

For United States foreign tax credit purposes, dividends paid on our ADSs or ordinary shares will be treated as income from foreign sources and will generally constitute passive category income. In the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, a U.S. Holder may be subject to PRC withholding taxes on dividends paid, if any, on our ADSs or ordinary shares. A U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on our ADSs or ordinary shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction for United States federal income tax purposes in respect of such withholding, but only for a year in which such U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

As discussed above, we believe that we were a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2025, and we will likely be classified as a PFIC for our current taxable year. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced rate of taxation on dividends with respect to our ADSs or ordinary shares under their particular circumstances.

***Sale or Other Disposition of ADSs or Ordinary Shares***

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under "—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules", a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss, if any, upon the sale or other disposition of ADSs or ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in such ADSs or ordinary shares. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term gain or loss if the ADSs or ordinary shares have been held for more than one year and will generally be United States-source gain or loss for United States foreign tax credit purposes.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

In the event that we are treated as a PRC resident enterprise under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, and gain from the disposition of the ADSs or ordinary shares is subject to tax in the PRC, a U.S. Holder that is eligible for the benefits of the Treaty may elect to treat the gain as PRC source income. Pursuant to United States Treasury Regulations, (the applicability of which has been postponed until further guidance is issued) however, if a U.S. Holder is not eligible for the benefits of the Treaty or does not elect to apply the Treaty, then such holder may not be able to claim a foreign tax credit arising from any PRC tax imposed on the disposition of ADSs or ordinary shares. The rules regarding foreign tax credits and deduction of foreign taxes are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of a foreign tax credit or deduction in light of their particular circumstances, including their eligibility for benefits under the Treaty and the potential impact of United States Treasury Regulations.

As discussed above, we believe that we were a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2025, and we will likely be classified as a PFIC for our current taxable year. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax considerations of the sale or other disposition of our ADSs or ordinary shares under their particular circumstances.

***Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules***

As discussed above, we believe that we were a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2025 and we will likely be classified as a PFIC for our current taxable year. If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ADSs or ordinary shares, unless the U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below) with respect to the ADSs, the U.S. Holder will, except as discussed below, be subject to special tax rules that have a penalizing effect, regardless of whether we remain a PFIC, on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period for the ADSs or ordinary shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including, under certain circumstances, a pledge, of ADSs or ordinary shares. Under the PFIC rules:

● the excess distribution and/or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for the ADSs or ordinary shares;

● the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder's holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC, each a pre-PFIC year, will be taxable as ordinary income;

● the amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than the current taxable year or a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect applicable to the individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that year; and

● will be increased by an additional tax equal to interest on the resulting tax deemed deferred with respect to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ADSs or ordinary shares and any of our non-United States subsidiaries is also a PFIC, each a lower-tier PFIC, such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder of "marketable stock" in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to our ADSs, provided that such stock is regularly traded, meaning that such stock is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in the applicable United States Treasury Regulations. For those purposes, our ADSs, but not our ordinary shares, are currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, which is a qualified exchange. We anticipate that our ADSs should qualify as being regularly traded for so long as they continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, but no assurances may be given in this regard. As described above, on May 19, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the closing bid price of the ADSs had been below US$1.00 per ADS for the previous 30 consecutive business days. We were given a period of 180 calendar days, or until November 17, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In response, we submitted an application to transfer the listing of our ADSs from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, which was approved by Nasdaq on November 21, 2025. In connection with the transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq granted us a second period of 180 calendar days, or until May 18, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our ADSs must meet or exceed US$1.00 per ADS for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days on or prior to May 18, 2026. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our ADSs and Class A Ordinary Shares—Our ADSs may be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market as a result of our failure of meeting the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing requirements." If our ADSs are delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and are not otherwise listed on a qualified exchange or other market, as described above, our ADSs would not be treated as "marketable stock" for these purposes and a U.S. Holder would not be eligible to make a mark-to-market election with respect to our ADSs. If a mark-to-market election is made, the U.S. Holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of ADSs held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such ADSs and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of the ADSs over the fair market value of such ADSs held at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the ADSs would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes an effective mark-to-market election, in each year that we are a PFIC, any gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of the ADSs will be treated as ordinary income and loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.

If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of a corporation classified as a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be classified as a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will not be required to take into account the mark-to-market gain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not classified as a PFIC.

Because a mark-to-market election cannot technically be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder who makes a mark-to-market election with respect to our ADSs may continue to be subject to the general PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder's indirect interest in any of our non-United States subsidiaries that is classified as a PFIC.

We do not intend to provide information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections, which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from (and generally less adverse than) the general tax treatment for PFICs described above.

As discussed above under "—Dividends," dividends that we pay on our ADSs or ordinary shares will not be eligible for the reduced tax rate that applies to qualified dividend income if we are classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year. In addition, if a U.S. Holder owns our ADSs or ordinary shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, such U.S. Holder must file an annual report with the Internal Revenue Service, subject to certain limited exceptions. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor concerning the United States federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing our ADSs or ordinary shares if we are or become a PFIC, including the possibility of making a mark-to-market election and the unavailability of the qualified electing fund election.

Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult with its tax advisor regarding the application of the United States information reporting rules to their particular circumstances.

**H.Documents on Display**

We are subject to periodic reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act as applicable to foreign private issuers, and are required to file reports and other information with the SEC. Specifically, we are required to file annually an annual report on Form 20-F within four months after the end of each fiscal year, which is December 31. All information we file with the SEC can be obtained over the internet at the SEC's website at *www.sec.gov*. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of quarterly reports and proxy statements, officers and directors are exempt from the short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

We will furnish JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the depositary of our ADSs, with our annual reports, which will include a review of operations and annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and all notices of shareholders' meetings and other reports and communications that are made generally available to our shareholders. The depositary will make such notices, reports and communications available to holders of ADSs and, upon our request, will mail to all record holders of ADSs the information contained in any notice of a shareholders' meeting received by the depositary from us.

In accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5250(d), we will post this annual report on Form 20-F on our website at http://ir.tuniu.com. In addition, we will provide hardcopies of our annual report free of charge to shareholders and ADS holders upon request.

**Item 11.** **Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

**Interest Rate Risk**

Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest income generated by excess cash, which is mostly held in interest-bearing bank deposits. We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio to hedge our exposure to the interest rate risk. Interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in market interest rates. However, our future interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in market interest rates.

**Foreign Exchange Risk**

The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, is based on rates set by the People's Bank of China. The Renminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. The value of Renminbi against other currencies is affected by changes in China's political and economic conditions and by China's foreign exchange policies, among other things. It is difficult to predict how market forces or government policies may impact the exchange rate between Renminbi and other currencies in the future.

Substantially all of our revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. We do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk. To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amounts available to us.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

As of December 31, 2025, we had Renminbi-denominated cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and long-term deposits of RMB806.95 million, and U.S. dollar-denominated cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of US$47.18 million. Assuming we had converted RMB1.0 million into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of RMB6.9931 per US$1.00 as of December 31, 2025, our U.S. dollar cash balance would have been US$162.57 million. If the Renminbi had depreciated by 10% against the U.S. dollar, our U.S. dollar cash balance would have been US$151.03 million instead. If the Renminbi had appreciated by 10% against the U.S. dollar, our Renminbi cash balance would have been US$174.11 million instead. To date, we have not entered into any material hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.

**Fees and Charges Our ADS Holders May Have to Pay**

The depositary may charge each person to whom ADSs are issued, including, without limitation, issuances against deposits of shares, issuances in respect of share distributions, rights and other distributions, issuances pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by us or issuances pursuant to a merger, exchange of securities or any other transaction or event affecting the ADSs or deposited securities, and each person surrendering ADSs for withdrawal of deposited securities or whose ADRs are cancelled or reduced for any other reason, US$5.00 for each 100 ADSs (or any portion thereof) issued, delivered, reduced, cancelled or surrendered, as the case may be. The depositary may sell (by public or private sale) sufficient securities and property received in respect of a share distribution, rights and/or other distribution prior to such deposit to pay such charge.

The following additional charges shall be incurred by the ADR holders, by any party depositing or withdrawing shares or by any party surrendering ADSs or to whom ADSs are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by us or an exchange of stock regarding the ADSs or the deposited securities or a distribution of ADSs), whichever is applicable:

● a fee of up to US$0.05 per ADS for any cash distribution made pursuant to the deposit agreement;

● a fee of up to US$0.05 per ADS per calendar year (or portion thereof) for services performed by the depositary in administering the ADRs (which fee may be charged on a periodic basis during each calendar year and shall be assessed against holders of ADRs as of the record date or record dates set by the depositary during each calendar year and shall be payable in the manner described in the next succeeding provision);

● a fee for the reimbursement of such fees, charges and expenses as are incurred by the depositary and/or any of its agents (including, without limitation, the custodian and expenses incurred on behalf of holders in connection with compliance with foreign exchange control regulations or any law or regulation relating to foreign investment) in connection with the servicing of the shares or other deposited securities, the sale of securities (including, without limitation, deposited securities), the delivery of deposited securities or otherwise in connection with the depositary's or its custodian's compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation (which fees and charges shall be assessed on a proportionate basis against holders as of the record date or dates set by the depositary and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the depositary by billing such holders or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions);

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

● a fee for the distribution of securities (or the sale of securities in connection with a distribution), such fee being in an amount equal to the US$0.05 per ADS issuance fee for the execution and delivery of ADSs which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (treating all such securities as if they were shares) but which securities or the net cash proceeds from the sale thereof are instead distributed by the depositary to those holders entitled thereto;

● stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges;

● cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery charges incurred at your request in connection with the deposit or delivery of shares;

● transfer or registration fees for the registration of transfer of deposited securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit or withdrawal of deposited securities;

● the fees, expenses and other charges charged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and/or its agent (which maybe a division, branch or affiliate) in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars; and

● fees of any division, branch or affiliate of the depositary utilized by the depositary to direct, manage and/or execute any public and/or private sale of securities under the deposit agreement.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and/or its agent may act as principal for such conversion of foreign currency. We will pay all other charges and expenses of the depositary and any agent of the depositary (except the custodian) pursuant to agreements from time to time between us and the depositary. The charges described above may be amended from time to time by agreement between us and the depositary.

**Fees and Other Payments Made by the Depositary to Us**

The depositary has agreed to reimburse us for certain expenses we incur that are related to establishment and maintenance of the ADR program upon such terms and conditions as we and the depositary may agree from time to time. The depositary may make available to us a set amount or a portion of the depositary fees charged in respect of the ADR program or otherwise upon such terms and conditions as we and the depositary may agree from time to time. The depositary collects its fees for issuance and cancellation of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions, or by directly billing investors, or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary will generally set off the amounts owing from distributions made to holders of ADSs. If, however, no distribution exists and payment owing is not timely received by the depositary, the depositary may refuse to provide any further services to holders that have not paid those fees and expenses owing until such fees and expenses have been paid. At the discretion of the depositary, all fees and charges owing under the deposit agreement are due in advance and/or when declared owing by the depositary. For the fiscal year 2025, we received a reimbursement of approximately US$0.55 million from the depositary net of US$0.16 million United States withholding tax.

The fees and charges you may be required to pay may vary over time and may be changed by us and by the depositary. You will receive prior notice of any increase in any such fees and charges.

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Our management, with participation of our chief executive officer and financial controller, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this annual report, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.

Based upon that evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file and furnish under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and financial controller, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

**Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a - 15(f) and 15d - 15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our company's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on the framework in *Internal Control—Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Item 16B. Code of Ethics**

**Item 16F. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant**

Not applicable.

**Item 16G. Corporate Governance**

As a Cayman Islands company listed on Nasdaq, we are subject to the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, the Nasdaq Listing Rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Travers Thorp Alberga, our Cayman Islands counsel, has advised us that certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, our home country, may differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. For instance, we had historically followed home country practice for our private placements, which would have required shareholder approval under the Nasdaq Listing Rules but for which there was no such requirement under Cayman Islands law. In addition, we have elected to follow home country practice in lieu of the requirement to hold an annual meeting of shareholders under Nasdaq Rule 5620(a).

We currently do not plan to rely on the home country exemption for any other corporate governance matters. However, if we choose to follow home country practice in other matters in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. See "Item 3. Key Information —D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our ADSs and Class A Ordinary Shares—We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies."

The Amended and Restated Statement of Policies Governing Material Non-Public Information and the Prevention of Insider Trading, adopted by our board of directors on November 20, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 11.2 to this annual report on Form 20-F.

**Item 16K. Cybersecurity**

**Risk Management and Strategy**

We have implemented robust processes for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats and monitoring the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of material cybersecurity incident. We have also integrated cybersecurity risk management into our overall enterprise risk management system.

We have established a dynamic and multi-layered cybersecurity defense system to effectively mitigate both internal and external cyber threats. This comprehensive system spans multiple security domains, including network, host, and application layers. It integrates a range of security capabilities such as threat defense, continual monitoring, in-depth analysis, rapid response, as well as strategic deception and countermeasures. Our approach to managing cybersecurity risks and safeguarding sensitive data is multi-faceted, involving technological safeguards, procedural protocols, a rigorous program of surveillance on our corporate network, ongoing internal and external evaluations of our security measures, a solid incident response framework, and regular cybersecurity training sessions for our employees. Our cybersecurity compliance department is actively engaged in continual monitoring of our applications, platforms and infrastructure to ensure prompt identification and response to potential issues, including emerging cybersecurity threats.

We have engaged third-party service providers to assess our compliance with personal data protection regulations in the event of major version upgrades for our mobile applications. Additionally, we conduct third-party vulnerability analysis including simulated attacks and provide periodic regulatory updates on personal data protection regulations to our employees, with a goal to maintain up-to-date understanding of applicable regulations within our organization.

As of the date of this annual report, we have not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents or identified any material cybersecurity threats that have affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.

**Governance**

The nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors is responsible for overseeing our cybersecurity risk management and be informed on risks from cybersecurity threats. The committee shall (i) maintain oversight of the disclosure related to cybersecurity matters in current reports or periodic reports of our company, (ii) review updates to the status of any material cybersecurity incidents or material risks from cybersecurity threats to our company, and the disclosure issues, if any, presented by our chief executive officer, principal financial officer and cybersecurity officer on a quarterly basis, and (iii) review disclosure concerning cybersecurity matters in our annual report on Form 20-F presented by our chief executive officer, principal financial officer and cybersecurity officer.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Tuniu Corporation

***Opinion on the Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tuniu Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income, of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

***Basis for Opinion***

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

***Critical Audit Matters***

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Revenue recognition for packaged tours*

As described in Note 2(t) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's revenue is primarily derived from sales of packaged tours, which include organized tours and self-guided tours. Under the organized tour arrangements with the tour operators and self-guided tour arrangements, the Company's role is an agent that provides tour booking services and recognizes revenue for these services on a net basis, representing the difference between what the Company receives from the travellers and the amounts due to the tour operators or suppliers. The Company also operates its own self-operated and OEM local tour operator business model. The Company is a principal for these services and recognizes revenue from travellers on a gross basis. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company's total revenues from sales of all packaged tours were RMB493.5 million.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition for packaged tours is a critical audit matter is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures related to the Company's revenue recognition for packaged tours.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over revenue recognition for packaged tours. These procedures also included, among others, (i) reading relevant contracts with travellers, tour operators and suppliers and evaluating the appropriateness of revenue recognition policies adopted by the management; (ii) on a sample basis, testing revenue transactions by obtaining and inspecting sales orders, purchase orders, evidence of tour origination and completion and cash receipts, where applicable, and recalculating revenue recognized for selected tour arrangements, and (iii) on a sample basis, confirming outstanding balances with travellers, tour operators and suppliers as of December 31, 2025 and, for confirmations not returned, performing alternative procedures by obtaining and inspecting source documents.

2. Principal Accounting Policies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(a) Basis of Presentation*

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

#### Liquidity
The Group's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of operations. The Group incurred net loss of RMB101,097 and net income of RMB83,699 and RMB29,657 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB232,838 and RMB96,281 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities was RMB109,068 for the year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, the Group has been in positive working capital in recent years, and as of December 31, 2025, the working capital was RMB660,524. Management has evaluated the sufficiency of its working capital and concluded that the Group's available cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to support its continuous operations and to meet its payment obligations when liabilities fall due within the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(b) Principles of Consolidation*

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the Affiliated Entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power, has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of board of directors, or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

A VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiary, through contractual arrangements, has controlling interest and therefore the Company or its subsidiary is the primary beneficiary of the entity. In determining whether the Company or its subsidiary has controlling interests in a VIE, the Company considers whether the Company or its subsidiary has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, and the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation right to absorb losses of the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries and the Affiliated Entities have been eliminated upon consolidation.

***The Company is not an operating company in China but a Cayman Islands holding company conducting its operations in China through its PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated affiliated entities. Holders of the Company's ADSs hold equity interest in Tuniu Corporation, the Cayman Islands holding company, and do not have direct or indirect equity interest in the VIE. To comply with PRC laws and regulations that restrict foreign equity ownership of companies that operate internet content, travel agency and air-ticketing services, the Company operates its website and engaged in such restricted services through Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries. Nanjing Tuniu's equity interests are held by Dunde Yu, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and Anqiang Chen, the Company's financial controller, with equity interests of 80.89% and 19.11%, respectively. On September 17, 2008 and subsequently amended on January 24, 2014 and February 19, 2021, Beijing Tuniu, one of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a series of agreements with Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders. Pursuant to these agreements, Beijing Tuniu has the ability to direct substantially all the activities of Nanjing Tuniu, and absorb substantially all of the risks and rewards of the Affiliated Entities. As a result, Beijing Tuniu is the primary beneficiary of Nanjing Tuniu, and has consolidated the Affiliated Entities.***

#### Contractual arrangements
**On September 17, 2008 and subsequently amended on January 24, 2014 and February 19, 2021, Beijing Tuniu entered into a series of contractual agreements with Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders, as below:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(1) Purchase Option Agreement.*

**Under the purchase option agreement entered between Beijing Tuniu and the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu, Beijing Tuniu has the irrevocable exclusive right to purchase, or have its designated person or persons to purchase all or part of the shareholders' equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu at RMB2,430. The option term remains valid until all equity interests held in Nanjing Tuniu are transferred or assigned to Beijing Tuniu or its designated person or persons. The purchase consideration was paid by Beijing Tuniu to the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu shortly after the purchase option agreement was entered.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) Principles of Consolidation – continued***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(2) Equity Interest Pledge Agreements.*

Under the equity interest pledge agreements entered between Beijing Tuniu and the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu, the shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu to guarantee their performance of their obligations under the purchase option agreement and the shareholders' voting rights agreement. If the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu breach their contractual obligations under the purchase option agreement, Beijing Tuniu, as the pledgee, will have the right to either conclude an agreement with the pledger to obtain the pledged equity or seek payments from the proceeds of the auction or sell-off of the pledged equity to any person pursuant to the PRC law. The shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu agreed that they will not dispose of the pledged equity interests or create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. During the equity pledge period, Beijing Tuniu is entitled to all dividends and other distributions made by Nanjing Tuniu. The equity interest pledge agreement remains effective until the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu discharge all their obligations under the purchase option agreement, or Beijing Tuniu enforces the equity interest pledge, whichever is earlier.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(3) Shareholders' Voting Rights Agreement.*

Under the shareholders' voting rights agreement entered between Beijing Tuniu and the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu, each of the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu appointed Beijing Tuniu's designated person as their attorney-in-fact to exercise all of their voting and related rights with respect to their equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu, including attending shareholders' meetings, voting on all matters of Nanjing Tuniu, nominating and appointing directors, convene extraordinary shareholders' meetings, and other voting rights pursuant to the then effective articles of association. The shareholders' voting rights agreement will remain in force for an unlimited term, unless all the parties to the agreement mutually agree to terminate the agreement in writing or cease to be shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(4) Irrevocable Powers of Attorney.*

**Under the powers of attorney issued by the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu, the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu each irrevocably appointed Beijing Tuniu as the attorney-in-fact to exercise all of their voting and related rights with respect to their equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu. Each power of attorney will remain in force until the shareholders' voting rights agreement expires or is terminated.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(5) Cooperation Agreement.*

Under the cooperation agreement entered between Beijing Tuniu and Nanjing Tuniu, Beijing Tuniu has the exclusive right to provide Nanjing Tuniu technology consulting and services related to Nanjing Tuniu's operations, which require certain licenses. Beijing Tuniu owns the exclusive intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of this agreement. Nanjing Tuniu agrees to pay Beijing Tuniu a quarterly service fee which equals the profits of each of Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries, and that Beijing Tuniu can adjust the service fee at its own discretion. This agreement remains effective for an unlimited term, unless the parties mutually agree to terminate the agreement, one of the parties is declared bankrupt or Beijing Tuniu is not able to provide consulting and services as agreed for more than three consecutive years because of force majeure. In addition, Beijing Tuniu has the unilateral right to terminate the agreement.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries charged technology consulting service fees, platform service fees and group management fees of RMB41,290, RMB48,156 and RMB58,903, respectively, to its consolidated Affiliated Entities, which were eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

*Risks in relation to the VIE structure*

The Group believes that each of the agreements and the powers of attorney under the contractual arrangements among Beijing Tuniu, Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders is valid, binding and enforceable, and does not and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect. The legal opinion of Fangda Partners, the Company's PRC legal counsel, also supports this conclusion. The shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu are also shareholders, nominees of shareholders, or designated representatives of shareholders of the Company and therefore have no current interest in seeking to act contrary to the contractual arrangements. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company's ability to enforce these contractual arrangements and if the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu were to reduce their interest in the Company, their interests may diverge from that of the Company and that may potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the contractual terms.

Being the primary beneficiary of Nanjing Tuniu also depends on the power of attorney Beijing Tuniu has to vote on all matters requiring shareholder approval in Nanjing Tuniu. As noted above, the Company believes this power of attorney is legally enforceable but it may not be as effective as direct equity ownership.

In addition, if the legal structure and contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of any existing PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could:

● levying fines or confiscate the Group's income;

● revoke the Group's business or operating licenses;

● require the Group to discontinue, restrict or restructure its operations;

● shut down the Group's servers or block the Group's websites and mobile platform;

● restrict or prohibit the use of the Group's financing proceeds to finance its business and operations in PRC; or

● take other regulatory or enforcement actions against the Group that could be harmful to the Group's business

Currently, the Company believes the possibility that it will no longer be the primary beneficiary of Nanjing Tuniu and consolidate Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries as a result of the aforementioned risks and uncertainties is remote.

*Summary financial information of the Affiliated Entities in the consolidated financial statements*

As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate accumulated deficit of the Affiliated Entities was RMB4,531 million prior to the elimination of transactions between the Affiliated Entities and the Company or the Company's subsidiaries.

Additional disclosures relating to operating results of the Affiliated Entities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Net revenues - intra - Group reflect amounts charged to other entities within the Group for royalty fee for the usage of software owned by VIE in the amount of RMB 5,337 , RMB 3,816 and RMB 5,460 , for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. All these transactions have been eliminated in the presentation of consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss)/income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Net (loss)/income includes costs occurred to other entities within the Group for technology consulting service fees and group management fees in the amount of RMB 41,290 , RMB 48,156 and RMB 58,903 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, as well as income from the sales of property and equipment in the amount of RMB 1,326 for the year ended December 31, 2024, all of which have been eliminated in the presentation of consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss)/income.

Additional disclosures relating to investing activities of the Affiliated Entities:

Investing activities of the Affiliated Entities primarily represent the investment of, or redemption of, short-term investments during the periods indicated.

Additional disclosures relating to financing activities of the Affiliated Entities:

Financing activities include borrowing and repayment of loans from other entities within the Group, including repayments of RMB92,626, repayments of RMB154,344 and repayments of RMB11,578 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, all of which have been eliminated in the presentation of consolidated statement of cash flows.

In addition, the Affiliated Entities repaid financing from banks by discounting bank acceptance notes (Note 14) for their operations with the amount of RMB21,000 and RMB80,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2025, respectively and obtained financing with the amount of RMB1,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024.

Currently there is no contractual arrangement that could require the Company to provide additional financial support to the Affiliated Entities. As the Company is conducting its business mainly through the Affiliated Entities, the Company may provide such support on a discretionary basis in the future, which could expose the Company to a loss.

Under the contractual arrangements with Nanjing Tuniu and through its equity interest in its subsidiaries, the Group has the power to direct the activities of the Affiliated Entities and direct the transfer of assets out of the Affiliated Entities. As the consolidated Affiliated Entities are each incorporated as a limited liability company under the PRC Company Law, the creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for all of the liabilities of the consolidated Affiliated Entities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(c) Use of Estimates*

The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements in conformity with the U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group's consolidated financial statements mainly include fair value of short-term and long-term investments, current expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment for non-financial assets, fair value of contingent considerations with respect to business combinations, fair value of share-based payment arrangements, fair value of initial and subsequent measurement of equity investments using measurement alternative, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and the determination of uncertain tax positions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(d) Functional Currency and Foreign Currency Translation*

The Group uses Renminbi ("RMB") as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries incorporated outside of PRC is the United States dollar ("US$"), while the functional currency of the PRC entities in the Group is RMB as determined based on ASC 830, *Foreign Currency Matters*.

Transactions denominated in other than the functional currencies are re-measured into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities are re-measured at the balance sheet date exchange rate. The resulting exchange differences are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income as foreign exchange losses.

When preparing the consolidated financial statements presented in RMB, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries incorporated outside of PRC are translated into RMB at fiscal year-end exchange rates, and equity accounts are translated into RMB at historical exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the respective fiscal years. Translation adjustments arising from these are reported as foreign currency translation adjustments and are shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity.

The unaudited United States dollar amounts disclosed in the accompanying financial statements are presented solely for the convenience of the readers. Translations of amounts from RMB into US$ for the convenience of the reader were calculated at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB6.9931 on December 31, 2025, as set forth in H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate on December 31, 2025, or at any other rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(e) Fair Value Measurement*

The Group defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value include:

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 2 | applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. |

---

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Group's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts and notes payable, amounts due from and due to related parties, long-term investments in financial products, borrowings, operating lease liabilities, contingent consideration for business combinations and certain accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments except for certain investments which are carried at fair value and contingent consideration for business combinations at each balance sheet date. The Group's equity security with readily determinable fair value is carried at fair value using quoted market prices that currently available on a securities exchange and classified within Level 1. Certain short-term and long-term investments in financial products and funds classified within Level 2 are valued using directly or indirectly observable inputs in the market place. Certain investments in financial products and contingent consideration for business combinations classified within Level 3 are valued based on a model utilizing unobservable inputs which require significant management judgment and estimation.

---

Contingent consideration is valued using an expected cash flow method with unobservable inputs including the probability to achieve the operating and financial targets, which is assessed by the Group, in connection with the contingent consideration arrangements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents*

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks and third party payment processors, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. Cash equivalents represent short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and with original maturities from the date of purchase of generally three months or less.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(g) Restricted Cash*

Restricted cash represents cash that cannot be withdrawn without the permission of third parties. The Group's restricted cash mainly represents (i) cash deposits required by tourism administration departments as a pledge to secure travellers' rights and interests, (ii) cash deposits required by China Insurance Regulatory Commission for engaging in insurance agency or brokering activities, (iii) the deposits held in designated bank accounts for issuance of bank acceptance notes and letter of guarantee, and required by the Group's business partners, (iv) deposits frozen by banks required by courts or due to other restrictions.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows are presented separately on consolidated balance sheet as follows:

---

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(h) Short-term Investments*

Short-term investments are comprised of (i) held-to-maturity investments such as time deposits, which are due between three months and one year and stated at amortized cost; and (ii) investments issued by commercial banks or other financial institutions with a variable interest rate indexed to the performance of underlying assets within one year measured at fair value (i.e., financial products). Certain investments can be redeemed by the Group at early notification, while certain investments are not permitted to be redeemed early or are subject to penalties for redemption prior to maturity. Changes in the fair value are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income. There was no other-than-temporary impairment of short-term investments measured at amortized cost for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Short-term investments with the amount of RMB81,803 and RMB120,517 are pledged for the issuance of bank notes or restricted for business requirements as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(i) Current expected credit losses*

The Group adopted ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASC Topic 326") and several associated ASUs on the measurement of credit losses.

The Group's accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets and amounts due from related parties are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. The Group has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables and prepayments, which include nature, size and types of the services the Group provides, or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools. For each pool, the Group considers the historical credit loss experience, current economic and market conditions, supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and any recoveries in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses. Other key factors that influence the expected credit loss analysis include customer demographics, payment terms offered in the normal course of business to customers, and industry-specific factors that could impact the Group's receivables. Additionally, external data and macroeconomic factors are also considered. This is assessed at each quarter based on the Group's specific facts and circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(j) Accounts Receivable, net*

The Group's accounts receivable mainly consist of amounts due from the customers, travel agents, insurance companies and travel boards or bureaus, which are carried at the original invoice amount less provision for current expected credit losses. The Group recognized allowance for expected credit a reversal of RMB5,189, RMB2,322 and RMB3,564 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(k) Long-term investments*

Long-term investments include equity investments, held-to-maturity investments and other long-term investments.

*Equity investments*

The Group accounts for the investments in entities with significant influence under equity-method accounting. Under this method, the Group's pro rata share of income (loss) from an investment is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income. Dividends received reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Equity-method investment is reviewed for impairment by assessing if the decline in fair value of the investment below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. In making this determination, factors are evaluated in determining whether a loss in value should be recognized. These include consideration of the intent and ability of the Group to hold investment and the ability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity, justifying the carrying amount of the investment.

The Group elects a measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and where the Group does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entity. Under the measurement alternative, the Group measures these investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income equal to the excess of the investment's cost over its fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the Group recognized impairment losses of 22,240, RMB17,553 and RMB13,595, respectively on certain equity investments based on the Group's assessment of current economic and market conditions with the considerations of the operating performance of the investees.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair value and over which the Group has neither significant influence nor control through investments in common stock or in-substance common stock are measured at fair value, with changes recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(k) Long-term investments – continued*

*Held-to-maturity investments*

The investments that the Group intends and is able to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity investments and are stated at amortized cost, and interest income is recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Group monitors these investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors including, but not limited to, current economic and market conditions, the operating performance of the companies including current earnings trends and other company-specific information.

*Other long-term investments*

Other long-term investments include financial products with maturities over one year, which are carried at their fair value at each balance sheet date and changes in fair value are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income.

Refer to Note 6 for details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(l) Property and Equipment*

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment if applicable. Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Category** | **Estimated useful life** |
| Computers and equipment | 3 - 5 years |
| Buildings | 16 - 20 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 3 - 5 years |
| Vehicles | 3 - 5 years |
| Software | 1-5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset ranging from 1 - 20 years |

---

Construction in progress represents leasehold improvements and office buildings under construction or being installed and is stated at cost. Cost comprises original cost of property and equipment, installation, construction and other direct costs. Construction in progress is transferred to leasehold improvements and buildings and depreciation commences when the asset is ready for its intended use.

Gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in other operating income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(m) Land use right, net*

Land use right represents the payments for usage of land for office buildings, which is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over their respective usage period which is 49.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(n) Capitalized Software Development Cost*

The Group has capitalized certain direct development costs associated with internal-use software in accordance with ASC 350-40, "*Internal-use software"*, which requires the capitalization of costs relating to certain activities of developing internal-use software that occur during the application development stage. Costs capitalized mainly include payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who devoted time to the internal-use software projects during the application development stage. Capitalized internal-use software costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and the amount is included in "property and equipment, net" on the consolidated balance sheets, with an estimated useful life of five years. Software development cost capitalized amounted to RMB2,750, RMB1,572 and RMB483 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The amortization expense for capitalized software costs amounted to RMB6,994, RMB3,740 and RMB2,436 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The unamortized amount of capitalized internal use software development costs was RMB4,094 as of December 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(o) Business combination and noncontrolling interests*

U.S. GAAP requires that all business combinations not involving entities or businesses under common control be accounted for under the purchase method. The Group has adopted ASC 805 *"Business Combinations"*, and the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred and equity instruments issued. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of the (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to forecast the future cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity's current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. Although management believes that the assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from the forecasted amounts and the difference could be material. The Group recognized adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.

A noncontrolling interest is recognized to reflect the portion of a subsidiary's equity which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group. Consolidated net loss on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss includes the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests when applicable. The cumulative results of operations attributable to noncontrolling interests are also recorded as noncontrolling interests in the Group's consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows related to transactions with noncontrolling interests are presented under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows when applicable.

When the noncontrolling interest is contingently redeemable upon the occurrence of a conditional event, which is not solely within the control of the Company, the noncontrolling interest is classified as mezzanine equity. The Group accretes changes in the redemption value over the period from the date that it becomes probable that the mezzanine equity will become redeemable to the earliest redemption date using the effective interest method.

Subsequent to the initial measurement of acquisition, adjustments to the amount of contingent consideration are recognized as a gain or loss during the period of adjustments, and are reflected in other operating income.

When there is a change in ownership interests or a change in contractual arrangements that results in a loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group deconsolidates the subsidiary from the date control is lost. Any retained noncontrolling investment in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value and is included in the calculation of the gain or loss upon deconsolidation of the subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(p) Intangible Assets*

Intangible assets purchased are recognized and measured at cost upon acquisition and intangible assets arising from acquisitions of subsidiaries are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. The Company's purchased intangible assets include computer software, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives 1 to 5 years. Separable intangible assets arising from acquisitions consist of trade names, customer relationship, supplier relationship, software, technology, non-compete agreements, travel licenses and insurance agency license, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 1 to 20 years. The estimated life of intangible assets subject to amortization is reassessed if circumstances occur that indicate the life has changed. The Group provided no impairment for intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Refer to Note 8 for details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(q) Goodwill*

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

In accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, management conducts its goodwill impairment assessment as of December 31 annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. The Group first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, so as to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If determined to be necessary, the quantitative impairment test is used to identify goodwill impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

There is only one reporting unit in the Group as Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") only reviews the operating results on the consolidation level, and business substance and economic characteristics of entities and components within the Group are similar. Therefore, the goodwill assessment was performed for the Group on consolidated level as one reporting unit.

The Company's share price was volatile and fluctuated due to various factors including the broad market and industry factors and negative publicity or sentiment. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company's share price dropped to US$0.67 per ADS as of December 31, 2023 with market capitalization of the Company of US$83.1 million, which was 47% lower than the Group's net assets. The low market capitalization and other indicators such as history of net loss were considered as an impairment indicator which required the Company to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2023. Since there is only one reporting unit, management used quoted market prices, i.e. the market capitalization to determine the reporting unit's fair value. Based on quantitative goodwill impairment test, considering the significant gap between market capitalization and net assets with no significant recovery of the share price post December 31, 2023, a full impairment charge of RMB114.7 million for the remaining goodwill (total goodwill of RMB232.0 million initially recognized in business acquisition in prior years) was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023. After the impairment provision, the carrying value of goodwill was reduced to nil as of December 31, 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(r) Impairment of non-financial assets*

The Group evaluates its non-financial assets including property and equipment, intangible assets, land use rights, prepayments for property and equipment and operating lease rights-of-use assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. An asset group is the unit of account for a non-financial asset or assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. When these events occur, the Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of these assets. The Group identified two asset groups for the purpose of impairment of non-financial assets as below:

*Land use right and construction in progress ("CIP")*

The Group acquired a piece of land (Refer to land use right in Note 9) with a plan to build an office building thereon for its own use and started certain construction work with cost incurred recorded in construction in progress under property, plant and equipment (Refer to Note 7). With the change of business strategy, the Company decided to terminate the development project and intended to dispose the land sometime in the future. The construction work is only limited to the foundation of the land and can be sold and developed together with the land, so land use right and CIP thereon are considered as an asset group separated from the Group's core business operation. The Group has been performing impairment assessment by reference to the latest transaction prices of similar land in the market and made impairment charges of RMB18.0 million and RMB15.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively, by charging to general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income accordingly. The carrying value of this asset group was RMB99.5 million as of 2024. In June 2025, the group disposed the land use right and CIP upon the deregistration of certificate for land use right with local administration of land resources, and hence, the land use right and CIP thereon with total carrying value of Rmb 97.85 million were derecognised in the Company's balance sheet upon the disposal with no P/L impact.

*Other non-financial assets*

The Group's other non-financial assets including property and equipment, net of RMB18.9 million, intangible assets, net of RMB19.6 million, prepayments for property and equipment, net of RMB11.9 million and operating lease right-of-use assets, net of RMB6.9 million are considered one asset group which represents the lowest level to independently generate identifiable cash flows. The low market capitalization as of December 31, 2025 was considered as an impairment indicator for this asset group and the Group further performed impairment assessment by comparing the undiscounted cash flow expected to be generated from the usage and eventual disposal of the asset group and the carrying value of the asset group, using the key assumptions including revenue growth rate, gross margin, operating expenses and working capital requirements.

Based on management's assessment, the undiscounted cash flow of the asset group was higher than the carrying value of the asset group and hence no impairment of other non-financial assets was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Based on management's assessment, no impairment of other non-financial assets was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(s) Advances from Customers*

Advances from customers represent the amounts travellers pay in advance to purchase packaged tours or other travel products. Among the cash proceeds from travellers, the amounts payable to tour operators are recorded as accounts payable and the remaining are recognized as revenues when revenue recognition criteria are met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(t) Revenue Recognition*

The Group's revenue is primarily derived from sales of packaged tours and other service fees.

According to ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. There are no significant estimates in the Group's revenue arrangements.

When either party to a contract has performed, the Group presents the contract in the consolidated balance sheets as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment.

A contract asset is the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that the Group has transferred to a customer. A receivable is recorded when the Group has an unconditional right to consideration. A right to consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the Group did not record any contract assets.

A contract liability is the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. The Group's contract liabilities primarily resulted from the undelivered performance obligation identified in the customer contract related to self-operated local tour operator business, which is recorded as advances from customers. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025 the balances of contract liabilities were RMB529 and RMB1,005 respectively, which is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year.

*Packaged tours:* Packaged tours include organized tours which offer pre-arranged itineraries, transportations, accommodations, entertainments, meals and tour guide services; and self-guided tours which consist of combinations of air tickets and hotel bookings and other optional add-ons, such as airport pick-ups that the travellers choose at their discretion.

Under the organized tour arrangements with the tour operators, the Group's role is an agent that provides tour booking services. The tour operators are primarily responsible for all aspects of providing services relating to the tour and responsible for the resolution of customer disputes and any associated costs. Revenues from organized tours (except for the Group's own brand Niu Tour business in which the Group acts as a principal, as discussed below) are generally reported on net basis, representing the difference between what the Group receives from the travellers and the amounts due to the tour operators.

Revenues from self-guided tours are recognized on a net basis, as the Group has no involvement in determining the service, and provides no additional services to travellers other than the booking services. Suppliers are responsible for all aspects of providing the air transportation and hotel accommodation, and other travel-related services. As such, the Group is an agent for the travel service providers in these transactions and revenues are reported on a net basis, representing the difference between what the Group receives from the travellers and the amounts due to the suppliers.

Under the arrangements for the organized tours (except for the Group's own brand Niu Tour business in which the Group acts as a principal, as discussed below) and self-guided tours, for which the Group's role is an agent, revenues are recognized when the tours depart, as control over the tour booking services is transferred to the customers when the tour booking is completed and successful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(t) Revenue Recognition – continued***

The Group also operates its own brand Niu Tour business for its self-operated and OEM local tour operator business model (the OEM model). The Group operates self-operated local tour operator business in various destinations by directly providing destination-based services to travellers, starting from their arrival at the destination and all the way until they depart from the destination. As a self-operated local tour operator, the Group integrates the underlying resources such as transportations, accommodations, entertainments, meals and tour guide services from selected suppliers, directs the selected vendors to provide services on the Group's behalf, and hence sets up the price for the tour. The Group is also primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise of the whole self-operated local tour operator arrangements, which is a single performance obligation; The Group operates the OEM model by engaging certain vendors to purchase travelling resources centrally on behalf of the Group, while the Group is still responsible for designing the packaged tours, setting up the price and further selling to travellers. Accordingly, the Group is a principal for its own brand Niu Tour business and recognizes revenue on a gross basis in accordance with ASC 606. Revenues from the self-operated tour operator business are recognized over time during the period of the tours when control over the tour services is transferred to the customers. Revenues from its own brand Niu Tour business were RMB100,078, RMB107,970 and RMB233,769 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, which were recorded in revenues from packaged tours.

*Other revenues*: Other revenues primarily comprise revenues generated from (i) service fees received from insurance companies, with revenue recognized of RMB8,429, RMB11,160 and RMB10,503 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively (ii) commission fees from other travel-related products and services, such as tourist attraction tickets, visa application services, accommodation reservation and transportation ticketing, with revenue recognized of RMB44,647, RMB47,943 and RMB37,285 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, (iii) fees for advertising services that the Group provides primarily to domestic and foreign tourism boards and bureaus, with revenue recognized of RMB27,571, RMB31,302 and RMB29,262 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, (iv) sales of merchandises, whereas the Group is acting as a principal in these transactions and is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified merchandises, for which revenue is recognized on gross basis with revenue recognized of RMB6,264, RMB7,855 and RMB3,626 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively; and (v) service fees for financial services. The Group provided cash lending service to customers and fees charged in connection with these financial services were recorded as other revenue over the period of the service rendered. The amount of such service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 were RMB6,923, RMB2,288 and RMB853, respectively.

Revenue is recognized when relevant services are rendered, the tickets are issued or merchandises are accepted by customers.

*Customer incentives*

From time to time, travelers are offered coupons, travel vouchers, membership points, or cash rewards as customer incentives. For customer incentives offered where prior purchase is not required, the Group accounts for them as a reduction of revenue when the coupons and vouchers are utilized to purchase travel products or as selling and marketing expenses when membership points are redeemed for merchandises. For customer incentives offered from prior purchase, the Group estimates the amount associated with the future obligation to customers, and records as a reduction of revenue when the prior purchase revenue is initially recognized. Unredeemed incentives are recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Group estimates liabilities under the customer loyalty program based on accumulated customer incentives, and the estimate of probability of redemption in accordance with the historical redemption pattern. The actual expenditure may differ from the estimated liability recorded. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, liabilities recorded related to membership points and cash rewards were RMB3,949 and RMB3,852, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(t) Revenue Recognition - continued***

*Value-added tax and surcharges*

The Group's business is subject to value-added tax ("VAT"), and the Group is permitted to offset input VAT (VAT that is paid in the acquisition of goods or services, and which is supported by valid VAT invoices received from vendors) against their VAT liability. VAT on the taxable revenue collected by the Group on behalf of tax authorities in respect of services provided, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a liability until it is paid to the tax authorities. The Group is also subject to certain government surcharges on VAT payable in the PRC and these surcharges are recorded in cost of revenues.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(u) Cost of Revenues*

Cost of revenues mainly consists of amounts paid to tour operators or suppliers in connection with the Group's own brand Niu Tour business for its self-operated and OEM local tour operator business model, salaries and other compensation expenses related to the Group's tour advisors, customer services representatives, and other personnel related to tour transactions, and other expenses directly attributable to the Group's principal operations, primarily including cost of merchandises, payment processing fees, telecommunication expenses, rental expenses and depreciation expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(v) Advertising Expenses*

Advertising expenses, which primarily consist of online marketing expenses and brand marketing expenses through various forms of media, are recorded in sales and marketing expenses as incurred. Advertising expenses were RMB50,325, RMB89,096 and RMB100,283 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(w) Research and Product Development Expenses*

Research and product development expenses include salaries and other compensation-related expenses for the Group's research and product development personnel, as well as office rental, depreciation and related expenses and travel-related expenses for the Group's research and product development team. The Group recognizes software development costs in accordance with ASC 350-40 *"Software—internal use software"*. The Group expenses all costs that are incurred in connection with the planning and implementation phases of development, and costs that are associated with maintenance of the existing websites or software for internal use. Certain costs associated with developing internal-use software are capitalized when such costs are incurred within the application development stage of software development (Note 2(n)). 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(x) Leases*

**The Group applied ASC 842, *"Leases"*, by using the optional transition method at the adoption date without recasting comparative periods. The Group determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are primarily for office and operation space and are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, net, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, non-current on its consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Group's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Group's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Group's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal options are considered within the ROU assets and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.**

For operating leases with a term of one year or less, the Group has elected to not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset on its consolidated balance sheet. Instead, it recognizes the lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term lease costs are immaterial to its consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income and cash flows.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(y) Share-based Compensation*

The Company applies ASC 718, *"Compensation — Stock Compensation"* to account for its share-based compensation program including share options and restricted shares. In accordance with the guidance, the Company determines whether a share-based award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or equity award. All grants of share-based awards to employees classified as equity awards are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. For options, the fair values are calculated using the binominal option pricing model. Share-based compensation expenses are recorded net of an estimated forfeiture rate over the required service period using the straight-line method. The modifications of the terms or conditions of the shared-based award are treated as an exchange of the original award for a new award. The incremental compensation expense is equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award immediately after the modification over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. For options already vested as of the modification date, the Company immediately recognized the incremental value as compensation expenses. For options still unvested as of the modification date, the incremental compensation expenses are recognized over the remaining service period of these options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(z) Income Taxes*

Current income taxes are provided on the basis of net income for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income in the period enacted. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

*Uncertain tax positions*

U.S. GAAP prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also provides for the derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Group's uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the Group did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions or any interest or penalties associated with tax positions.

In order to assess uncertain tax positions, the Group applies a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(aa) Employee Benefits*

Full-time employees of the Group in the PRC are entitled to welfare benefits including pension, work-related injury benefits, maternity insurance, medical insurance, unemployment benefit and housing fund plans through a PRC government-mandated defined contribution plan. Chinese labor regulations require that the Group makes contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of employees' salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government. The Group has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions. The Group recorded employee benefit expenses of RMB13,413, RMB13,343 and RMB14,210 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(ab) Government Subsidies*

Government subsidies are cash subsidies received by the Group's entities in the PRC from provincial and local government authorities. The government subsidies are granted from time to time at the discretion of the relevant government authorities. These subsidies are granted for general corporate purposes and to support the Group's ongoing operations in the region. Cash subsidies are recorded in other operating income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income when received and when all conditions for their receipt have been satisfied. The Group recognized government subsidies of RMB7,009, RMB1,346 and RMB1,083 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ac) Dividends

Dividends are recognized when declared.

The Company's Board of Directors approved and declared a cash dividend of US$0.012 per ordinary share to holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs of record as of the close of business on March 27, 2025, payable in U.S. dollars.

The Company's Board of Directors approved and declared a cash dividend of US$0.0399 per ordinary share to holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs of record as of the close of business on May 4, 2026, payable in U.S. dollars.

No dividends have been paid or declared by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ad) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Accretion of the redeemable noncontrolling interests is deducted from the net income (loss) to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of unvested restricted shares and shares issuable upon the exercise of share options using the treasury stock method. Ordinary equivalent shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. Except for voting rights, Class A and Class B shares have all the same rights and therefore the Group has elected not to use the two-class method.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ae) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of the Group during a period arising from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive income or loss is reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consists of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(af) Treasury stock

The share repurchase programs permitted the Company to purchase shares from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The repurchased shares were accounted for under the cost method and presented as "treasury stock" in equity on the Group's consolidated balance sheets. In March 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the "2024 Share Repurchase Program") under which the Company may repurchase up to US$10 million worth of its ordinary shares or ADS representing ordinary shares. In August 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program (the "2025 Share Repurchase Program") under which the Company may repurchase up to US$10 million worth of its ordinary shares or ADS representing ordinary shares, effective immediately upon the termination of the 2024 Share Repurchase Program. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the Company repurchased nil, 20,474,577 and 23,614,560 shares with total repurchase price of nil, 44,892 and RMB51,213, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the Group reissued 151,485, 105,642 and 80,883 shares to employees upon their exercise of share options or vesting of restricted share units under the Group's share compensation plans, respectively. The Company recognizes the difference between the reissuance price and the average cost the Company paid for repurchase in additional paid-in capital when reissuing the shares. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group cancelled 44,005,197 treasury shares. The Company recognizes the difference between the par value and the average cost of the cancelled treasury shares in accumulated deficit when cancelling the shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ag) Segment Reporting

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Group's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews the consolidated net (loss)/income that is reported on the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income to assess performance and make decisions about allocating resources for the Group's single reportable segment. This segment is engaged in provision of travel - related business. The Group derives revenue primarily in the PRC and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis.

The primary measure of segment profitability for the Group operating segment is consolidated net (loss)/income. Consolidated net (loss)/income is used by the CODM to monitor budget versus actual results as well as comparation with the Group's competitors, which are used in assessing performance of the segment. Significant segment expenses reviewed by the CODM on a regular basis included within net loss include cost of revenues, research and product development expenses, selling and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses which are consistent with those presented on the Group's consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income. Other segment items within consolidated net (loss)/income include impairment of goodwill, other operating income, interest and investment income, net, and other income, net.

The Group manages assets on a consolidated basis as reported on the consolidated balance sheets. The Group's long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and substantially all the Group's revenues are derived from within the PRC, therefore, no geographical segments are presented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ah) Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Group adopted by using prospective method. The Group's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(ai) Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective***

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. This ASU requires entities to disaggregate operating expenses into specific categories to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU No. 2025-05 provides all entities with a practical expedient and entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted.

3. Risks and Concentration

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(a) Credit and Concentration Risks*

The Group's credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investment, prepayments and other current asset, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties and long-term investments. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates.

The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with the cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits, which are held by reputable financial institutions in the jurisdictions where the Company, its subsidiaries and the Affiliated Entities are located. The Group believes that it is not exposed to unusual risks as these financial institutions have high credit quality.

As of December 31, 2025, the Group had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments in bank A located in PRC, bank B located in PRC, bank C located in PRC, bank D located in Hong Kong and bank E located in PRC, representing 34%, 20%, 18%, 10% and 5% of total balance, respectively.

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with respect to its customers, as customers usually prepay for travel services. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are primarily derived from revenue earned from individual customers, corporate customers, travel agents, insurance companies and travel boards or bureaus. The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by credit evaluations performed on those customers and ongoing monitoring processes on outstanding balances. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

The Group has purchased financial products issued by banks and other financial institutions. The Group also provided cash lending service to customers. The Group has set up a risk evaluation system on the issuers of credit quality, ultimate borrowers of asset management schemes, and conducts collectability assessment of the financial assets and loan receivables on timely basis.

The Group's collectability assessment considers duration of credit periods, the credit standing of the borrowers and parties that have guaranteed the repayment of the debts, the quality of assets pledged, the borrowers' repayment plans, forward looking information and an evaluation of default risk by reference to relevant information that is publicly available.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(b) Foreign Currency Risk*

The Group's operating transactions and its assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The value of RMB is subject to changes influenced by central government policies, and international economic and political developments. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People's Bank of China (the "PBOC"). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Group in PRC must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

4. Business acquisition

***Acquisition of travel agencies***

Before 2020, the Group made several acquisitions in offline travel agencies. These business acquisitions were accounted for using purchase accounting and goodwill of RMB232,007 was recognized accordingly, which was fully impaired as of December 31, 2023 (see Note 2(q)). The fair value of the contingent cash consideration, based on the achievement of profit target in the future, was estimated using a probability-weighted scenario analysis method. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, no contingent consideration was paid and the Group remeasured the contingent consideration liability to fair value based on the reassessment of achievement of profit target and recorded the following adjustments to reduce the contingent liability by nil and RMB500, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, upon the disposal of certain subsidiaries engaged in Japan tour business as disclosed below, the Group net settled the remaining unpaid contingent consideration with the amount of RMB3,600. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, there was no contingent consideration balance in connection with the acquisitions made in prior years.

***Disposal of travel agencies***

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group disposed the controlling interests in certain subsidiaries engaging in travel agency business, which were acquired by the Group before 2020, and only retained non-controlling interests in these former subsidiaries after the disposals.

There is only one reporting unit in the Group so the Group attributed portions of the reporting unit's goodwill to these disposed entities in determining the gain or loss on the disposal of the business, based on the relative fair values of these disposed entities compared with the fair value of the Group. As the disposed entities are not individually material to the Group's consolidated financial statements, the disposal activities are presented in aggregate as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Amount** |
| Total consideration  | 17264 |
| *Recognition of:* |  |
| Long-term investment - fair value of retained non-controlling interests | 9655 |
| *Derecognition of:* |  |
| Net liabilities (including cash disposed of RMB23,519) | 29482 |
| Intangible assets | (16027) |
| Deferred tax liability | 3899 |
| Noncontrolling interests | 24061 |
| Waiver of the contingent consideration yet to be paid | 1861 |
| Goodwill attributable to the disposed entities | (5244) |
| Total disposal gain | 64951 |

---

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Group disposed 100% equity interests in certain subsidiaries engaged in Japan tour business, which were acquired by the Group before 2020, and the disposal activities are presented in aggregate as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Amount** |
| Total consideration (net-off of unpaid contingent consideration of RMB3,600) | 13507 |
| *Derecognition of:* |  |
| Net liabilities (including cash disposed of RMB12,624) | 10903 |
| Intangible assets | (389) |
| Deferred tax liability | 97 |
| Total disposal gain | 24118 |

---

As a result of above disposals, the Group recognized a disposal gain of nil, RMB24,118 and nil for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

**4. Business acquisition – continued**

***Disposal of travel agencies – continued***

During the years of December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, out of the disposal considerations, the Group received proceeds of RMB3,243, RMB5,475 and RMB1,016, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the unpaid disposal considerations were RMB12,107 which are expected to receive in 4 years.

The business size of disposed former subsidiaries were not material to the Group and the Group continues to operate its travel agency business, hence the disposals were not considered as a strategic shift for the Group's business operations nor discontinued operations.

Refer to Note 6 for accounting for the retained noncontrolling investments in these former subsidiaries disposed in 2022.

*Equity investments - equity method*

In December 2016, Nanjing Zhongshan Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. ("Zhongshan") was established and the Group invested RMB42,500 for 25% of equity interest in Zhongshan. This investment was accounted for as an equity-method investment because the Group has significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Zhongshan as the Group has one of the five board seats of Zhongshan. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the carrying value of its equity investment was RMB46,937 and RMB42,500, respectively.

As disclosed in Note 4, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group disposed the controlling interests in certain subsidiaries and only retained non-controlling interests in the former subsidiaries after the disposals, and recognized an investment of RMB9,655 at fair value. Since the Group is still entitled to appoint one board seat to each of former subsidiaries, the Group is considered to be able to exert significant influence over their operating and financial policies so the retained noncontrolling investments are measured under equity method. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the carrying value of these equity investments was RMB7,001 and RMB7,660, respectively.

In June 2023, Guangxi Yijianyou Tourism Operation Co., Ltd. ("Yijianyou") was established and the Group invested RMB1,050 for 35% of equity interest in Yijianyou. This investment was accounted for as an equity-method investment because the Group has significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Yijianyou as the Group has one of the three board seats of Yijianyou. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the carrying value of its equity investment was RMB2,381 and RMB2,423, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Group recognized RMB580 of shares of loss of equity investees and during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, the Group recognized RMB1,486 and RMB579 of shares of income of equity investees, respectively, from all of its equity method investments.

6. Long-term investments - continued

Equity investments included investments in HNA Trust with the carrying value of RMB12,895 and RMB12,543 as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

14. Income Taxes

The Company is registered in the Cayman Islands. The Company generates substantially all of its income (loss) from its PRC operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

*Cayman Islands ("Cayman")*

Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company is not subject to tax on income or capital gains. Additionally, upon payments of dividends to shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed.

*Hong Kong*

Entities incorporated in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a rate of 16.5% since January 1, 2010. The operations in Hong Kong have incurred net accumulated operating losses for income tax purposes.

#### PRC
On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress enacted an Enterprise Income Tax Law ("EIT Law"), under which Foreign Investment Enterprises ("FIEs") and domestic companies are subject to EIT at a uniform rate of 25%. The EIT law became effective on January 1, 2008.

The EIT Law and its implementation rules also permit qualified "high and new technology enterprises," or HNTEs, to enjoy a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% upon filing with the tax authorities. The qualification as a HNTE is generally effective for a term of three years and the renewal of such qualification is subject to review by the authorities in China. Nanjing Tuniu originally obtained its HNTE certificate in 2010 with a valid period of three years and successfully obtained the third renewal of such certificate in December 2022 for another three years. Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology obtained its HNTE certificate in 2017 with a valid period of three years and successfully obtained its second renewal of such a certificate in December 2023 for another three years. Therefore, Nanjing Tuniu and Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology are eligible to enjoy a preferential tax rate of 15% in 2025 to the extent they have taxable income under the EIT Law, as long as they maintain the HNTE qualifications and duly conduct relevant EIT filing procedures with the relevant tax authorities.

The EIT Law also imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by a FIE to its immediate holding company outside of mainland China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within mainland China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within mainland China, unless such immediate holding company's jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with mainland China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. The Cayman Islands, where the Company incorporated, does not have such tax treaty with mainland China. According to the arrangement between mainland China and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion in August 2006, dividends paid by a FIE in mainland China to its immediate holding company in Hong Kong will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of no more than 5% if the immediate holding company in Hong Kong owns directly at least 25% of the shares of the FIE and could be recognized as a Beneficial Owner of the dividend from PRC tax perspective.

The PRC statutory tax rate of 25% is used for the effective tax rate reconciliation as substantially all of the Group's operations are based in the PRC for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

The entities with preferential income tax were still in cumulative losses position with full allowance provided for deferred tax assets, and therefore, the income tax and per-share effects of the preferential income tax were nil for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, income taxes paid amounted to RMB1,394 (US$199) in mainland China.

*Uncertain Tax Position*

The Group did not identify any significant unrecognized tax benefits for each of the periods presented. The Group did not incur any interest related to unrecognized tax benefits and did not recognize any penalties as income tax expense.

As of December 31, 2025, the Group had net operating loss carryforwards of RMB1,381,017 which can be carried forward to offset taxable income. The carryforwards period for net operating losses under the EIT Law is generally five years. Nanjing Tuniu and Tuniu Nanjing Information Technology, as HNTEs, are eligible to enjoy the extended period for the tax losses carry-forward from 5 years to 10 years. The net operating loss carry forward of the Group will start to expire in 2025 for the amount of RMB439,784 if not utilized. The remaining net operating loss carryforwards will expire in varying amounts between 2026 and 2034. Other than the expiration, there are no other limitations or restrictions upon the Group's ability to use these operating loss carryforwards. There is no expiration for the advertising expenses carryforwards.

The Group did not provide for additional deferred income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries during the years presented on the basis of its current intent to permanently reinvest its foreign subsidiaries' earnings.

A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when the Group determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized in the future. In making such determination, the Group evaluates a variety of factors including the Group's operating history, accumulated deficit, existence of taxable temporary differences and reversal periods.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, valuation allowances of RMB542,995 and RMB469,549 were provided because it was more likely than not that the Group will not be able to utilize certain tax losses carry forwards and other deferred tax assets generated by its subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities. If events occur in the future that allow the Group to realize more of its deferred tax assets than the presently recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowances will increase income when those events occur.

15. Redeemable noncontrolling interests

In December 2016, the Group entered into an investment agreement with certain investors ("noncontrolling shareholders") to establish a subsidiary. The noncontrolling shareholders contributed RMB90,000 and held 30% equity interest. Pursuant to the investment agreement, the noncontrolling shareholders have the option to request the Group to redeem their equity interests at an agreed price after three years of the investment. Before 2021, the Group paid a total amount of RMB77,733, including interest expenses, to noncontrolling shareholders for 20% of their equity interests in the subsidiary. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Group completed the redemption of the remaining redeemable noncontrolling interests at the redemption price of RMB27,200. The carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests was nil as of December 31, 2024.

The Group recorded the noncontrolling interests as redeemable noncontrolling interests, outside of permanent equity in the Group's consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 480. The Group uses the effective interest method for the changes of redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the noncontrolling interests. The accretion, which increases the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests, is recorded against additional paid-in capital.

The change in the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 is as follows:

The Company's 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2008 Plan") allows the plan administrator to grant share options and restricted shares to the Company's employees, directors, and consultants, up to a maximum of 18,375,140 ordinary shares. In April 2014 the Company adopted the 2014 Share Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan"). The maximum aggregate number of shares will be increased automatically if and whenever the ordinary shares reserved under the 2014 Plan account for less than 1% of the total then-issued and outstanding ordinary shares on an as-converted basis, as a result of which increase the ordinary shares reserved under the 2014 Plan immediately after each such increase shall equal 5% of the then-issued and outstanding ordinary shares on an as-converted basis, reaching a total of 41,964,263 Class A ordinary shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the 2014 Plan increased automatically by an aggregate of 17,542,440 Class A ordinary shares in April 2023, reaching to a total of 59,506,703 Class A ordinary shares.

The share options and restricted shares granted under the 2008 plan initially have a contractual term of six or ten years, and grants under the 2014 plan have a contractual term of ten years. The incentive awards under both 2008 plan and 2014 plan generally vest over a period of four years of continuous service, one fourth (1/4) of which vest upon the first anniversary of the stated vesting commencement date and the remaining vest ratably over the following 36 months. As of December 31, 2025, 34,728,763 options and 18,879 restricted shares were outstanding under the 2008 and 2014 plan.

**17. Share-based Compensation Expenses - continued**

The weighted-average grant date fair value for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 was US$0.27, nil and nil, computed using the binomial option pricing model.

The total fair value of share options vested during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025 was RMB5,172, RMB 13,234 and RMB4,107, respectively.

The Company estimated the expected volatility at the date of grant date and each option valuation date based on the annualized standard deviation of the daily return embedded in historical share prices of comparable companies. Risk free interest rate was estimated based on the yield to maturity of US treasury bonds denominated in US$ at the option valuation date. The exercise multiple is estimated as the ratio of fair value of underlying shares over the exercise price as at the time the option is exercised, based on a consideration of research study regarding exercise pattern based on empirical studies on the actual exercise behavior of employees. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital stock, and the Company does not anticipate any dividend payments on its ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. Time to maturity is the contract life of the option, and estimated forfeiture rates are determined based on historical employee turnover rate.

The Company uses the binominal option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options. The assumptions used to value the Company's option grants for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 were as follows and no share options were granted for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **2022** | **2023** |
| Expected volatility | 48.25% | 49.00% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 2.78% | 3.30% |
| Exercise multiple | 2.2-2.8 | 2.2-2.8 |
| Expected dividend yield | 0% | 0% |
| Time to maturity (in years) | 10 | 10 |
| Expected forfeiture rate (post-vesting) | 0%-13.24 | 0%-3.75 |
| Fair value of the common share on the date of option grant | US$0.13-0.16 (RMB0.90-1.10) | US$0.25-0.27 (RMB1.79-1.83) |

---

As of December 31, 2025, there was RMB4,533 in total unrecognized compensation expense related to share options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.93 years.

*Restricted shares*

The total intrinsic value of restricted shares vested for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 were RMB490, RMB290 and RMB286, respectively.

The fair value of restricted shares with service conditions is based on the fair market value of the underlying ordinary shares on the date of grant.

19. Restricted Net Assets

Pursuant to laws applicable to entities incorporated in the PRC, the Company's subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities in the PRC must make appropriations from after-tax profit to non-distributable reserve funds. These reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion fund and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the general reserve fund requires an annual appropriation of 10% of after tax profit (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC at each year-end) until the accumulative amount of such reserve fund reaches 50% of a company's registered capital; the other fund appropriations are at the subsidiaries' discretion. These reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes of enterprise expansion and staff bonus and welfare and are not distributable as cash dividends. In addition, due to restrictions on the distribution of share capital from the Group's PRC subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities and also as a result of these entities' unreserved accumulated losses, total restrictions placed on the distribution of the Group's PRC subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities' net assets was RMB861,474 million, or 89.9% of the Group's total consolidated net assets as of December 31, 2025.

**FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE I**

**TUNIU CORPORATION**

**CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE PARENT COMPANY**

#### Note to Financial Statement Schedule I
Schedule I has been provided pursuant to the requirements of Rule 12-04(a) and 5-04-(c) of Regulation S-X, which require condensed financial information as to the financial position, change in financial position and results of operations of a parent company as of the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated financial statements have been presented when the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries exceed 25 percent of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year.

The condensed financial information has been prepared using the same accounting policies as set out in the accompanying consolidated financial statements except that the equity method has been used to account for investments in its subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities. Such investments in subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities are presented as investment deficit in subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities and the loss of the subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities is presented as share of loss of subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The footnote disclosures to the consolidated financial statements contain information relating to the operations of the parent company and, as such, this schedule should be read in conjunction with the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2025, the parent company had no significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations, or guarantee, except for those which have separately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.
