Hao Lv ChengLaunchedTRAVEL AND LIFESTYLE SERVICES

Hao Lv Cheng is a travel, mobility, and lifestyle service platform rebuilt from the product experience of Feixia Travel. It includes a mobile experience for customers and an operations experience for merchants and partners. Starting with flights and train tickets, it expanded into custom travel, cinema tickets, top-ups, local services, shopping, community content, and membership. The project restructured the homepage information architecture and business priorities, while extending the refreshed brand and original IP across the products and websites.

01 / Evolution

Product evolution: more than a colour change, a shift in position and structure.

Hao Lv Cheng was built on the experience of several Feixia Travel releases. As ticketing, travel services, lifestyle consumption, community content, and membership continued to grow, the product needed clearer business priorities and a new brand language for its broader service position.

02 / Problem

Design problem: as services grew, homepage entry points became fragmented and priorities unclear.

Business

Severe product sameness

Ticketing, travel, and lifestyle services kept growing, but the core value and business priorities were not expressed clearly.

Experience

Fragmented entry points, dated content

Homepage entry points accumulated without hierarchy between core and supporting services, making it hard to know where to begin.

Brand

Low distinctiveness

The old visual language could not support the broader travel-and-lifestyle position, and lacked brand assets that could live throughout the product.

03 / Homepage

Homepage redesign: from adding entry points to setting priorities.

Several complete homepage directions compared module organisation, visual focus, and content rhythm—not just colour choices. Flights, trains, and travel services address frequent core needs; lifestyle, content, community, shopping, and membership are layered by purpose and business value.

04 / Membership

Membership: distinguish tiers without splitting the product into four systems.

One account-centre structure uses themed card colours for standard, gold, platinum, and diamond tiers while keeping orders and common actions consistent.

05 / Brand & IP

Original IP: turn an intangible brand into a memorable character.

The original bird character developed from sketches into a base character and action set, then entered loading, empty, membership, and prompt states instead of remaining only in campaign materials.

07 / Reflection

Design reflection: if I rebuilt it today, I would start with the design system.

More services should not mean more homepage entry points; multiple directions should represent different strategies, not just different colours.

Build the design system first. Align components, layout, and visual language before designing individual screens.

Make each direction represent a strategy. Each concept should express a different information priority and product strategy.

Put the IP in real contexts. Define its use in product states, operational content, and offline materials early.
