Re: Tuniu Corporation (the “Company”)
Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021
Filed on April 29, 2022 (File No. 001-36430)
Dear Ms. O'Brien
and Ms. Buskirk,
This
letter sets forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the letter dated December 16, 2022 from the staff (the
“Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) regarding the Company’s
annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Commission on April 29, 2022 (the
“2021 Form 20-F”) and the Company’s response letters submitted on September 27, 2022 and November 16,
2022, respectively. The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses thereto.
All capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the 2021 Form 20-F.
Form 20-F for the Fiscal
Year Ended December 31, 2021
Item 3. Key Information
D. Risk Factors, page 11
1. We note from your revised disclosure in response to prior comment
2 that “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.” Therefore, we reissue prior comment 2 in part.

Where appropriate, explain how commensurate laws in Hong
Kong and Macau differs from PRC law and describe any risks and consequences to the company’s operations in Hong Kong and Macau,
associated with those laws. For example, please clarify whether a different set of laws apply to entities or businesses in Hong Kong
and Macau as it relates to the disclosure in the following risk factors on pages 3 and 35, respectively:
· “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”;
and
· “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 intervene
or influence our operations as the government deems appropriate to advance regulatory and
societal goals and policy positions...”).
As part of your revised disclosure, address the risk
that that the Chinese government may intervene or influence your operations in Hong Kong and Macau at any time.
The Company respectfully advises the Staff that (i) prior
to 2020, the Company’s operations in Hong Kong and Macau were not material to the Company as a whole, and regulatory actions in
Hong Kong and Macau did not have a material impact on the Company’s ability to conduct business, accept foreign investments or
maintain listing status on the Nasdaq Global Market and (ii) the Company has almost no business operations in Hong Kong and Macau
since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 except for one office and servers located in Hong Kong, and therefore, the Company does
not believe that incremental disclosure relating to its business operations in Hong Kong and Macau is necessary.
The Company further respectfully advises the Staff that
Hong Kong and Macau currently operate under different sets of laws from mainland China, and the national laws and regulations of the
PRC are not applicable to business operations in Hong Kong and Macau, except for those listed in the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region of the PRC and Basic Law of the Macau Special Administrative Region of the PRC, respectively.
For the reasons stated above, the Company does not believe
the requested disclosure is warranted in light of the legal framework of Hong Kong and Macau and the fact that it does not have business
operations in Hong Kong and Macau. In the event that the Company engages in business operations in Hong Kong and Macau which become more
significant in the future, the Company will address and provide disclosure as appropriate.
