When talking about why he chose to be a travel website, Liang Jianzhang said, firstly, it was out of expectation of the domestic tourism market, and secondly, it was intuition. On the one hand, Liang Jianzhang felt that it was difficult for travel agencies to meet people like him at that time, and the services provided were not in place. In addition, the imagination of tourism is very large.

Tourism is the second largest expenditure of ordinary people, even higher than cars. Liang Jianzhang is aiming at tourism. After his success, Liang Jianzhang admitted that he was not familiar with the tourism industry at that time, and did not do in-depth research. It's just an intuition.
