According to the WeChat account "Xichang Release" of the Xichang Municipal Government Information Office in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, on August 2, the review meeting for the comprehensive rectification of market order and price violations in Xichang City was held on July 31. The investigators reported on the investigation of price violations by Shengheng Homestay Management Co., Ltd. in Liangshan Prefecture.
On July 28th, the market order comprehensive rectification team of Xichang City conducted a special price inspection on hotels and homestays. Upon inspection, it was found that the selling price of a homestay named "Qingsu Huajian" under the name of Shengheng Homestay Management Co., Ltd. in Liangshan Prefecture was too high on Meituan, suspected of raising prices. The Xichang Market Supervision Bureau launched an investigation on the same day.
After investigation, it was found that during the Torch Festival, the online booking prices of Shengheng Homestay Management Co., Ltd. in Liangshan Prefecture and the current online booking prices have increased by more than 2 to 3 times. Among them, the highest one night booking price for a homestay under its umbrella, "Qingsu Huajian," reached 2576 yuan, with an increase of up to 938%. Its behavior is suspected of violating relevant regulations such as the Price Law of the People's Republic of China.

At the meeting, members of the case review committee held a collective discussion on whether the facts of the case were clear, whether the evidence was conclusive, whether the applicable basis was correct, whether the characterization was accurate, whether the punishment was appropriate, and whether the procedures were legal. At the same time, a balance was struck between flexible law enforcement and prudent supervision, and an administrative penalty discussion decision was ultimately formed.
