The new site will offer Chinese customers more than 6,000 domestic hotels in nearly 400 cities across China and a total of over 100,000 hotels around the world, including
New York hotels, and
Rome hotels.

Chinese travellers will be able to search an extensive range of hotels all over the world with many deals and promotions always on display."
Over time, there will be an increasing amount of localised hotel content on the site and travellers will be able to post and read user reviews in their local language.
