Cityline首登陸鴻蒙操作系統 | Cityline Makes Its Debut on HarmonyOS

打造大灣區文娛購票全新體驗

Cityline作為領先資訊科技整合解決方案企業，亦是香港及澳門主要購票平台，近年積極開拓中港文化及娛樂票務藍海，先後與多間內地著名企業簽訂合作協議。最新Cityline便成為首家登陸華為終端鴻蒙操作系統的香港購票平台，雙方於5月18日在華為深圳基地舉行鴻蒙生態合作簽訂儀式，正式開啟夥伴關係的序幕，亦標誌着Cityline進軍內地市場揭開新一頁。

Cityline執行董事兼總經理林永存，率領一眾公司團隊成員到華為深圳基地出席儀式，並與華為終端雲服務出境業務及解決方案部總裁譚宇、華為終端雲服務海外中心運營總監李勇會面。

在華為深圳基地，雙方分享了Cityline與鴻蒙系統的發展計劃。林永存指出：「我們擁有與大灣區劇院合作的經驗，服務點遍佈深圳、珠海、東莞、佛山等地。Cityline上線鴻蒙系統，給內地用戶提供資訊及購票服務，打造面向內地市場的支付方式，並在內地設立超過30個兌票點，令線上線下體驗更全面，用戶在赴港前 ，便可在內地預先取票。」

迎合大灣區人士旅遊喜好

「此外，我們觀察到大灣區人士來港旅遊玩樂喜好正轉變，因此緊貼市場需求推廣香港文化活動，如在平台上推出4大親子好去處，當中包括今年初才開幕的人氣景點油麻地警署。」

Cityline購票應用程式在鴻蒙系統App Store上線後，內地用戶可直接進入Cityline平台，購買香港、澳門以至大灣區的文化、藝術及娛樂節目，以至港澳旅遊景點門票。除了購票體驗，Cityline亦為港、澳及內地用戶提供多元化支付方式，當中內地觀眾於平台上可以銀聯、支付寶及微信支付購票，而港澳方面則覆蓋了多種支付方式，包括信用卡及各類電子錢包，全面便利兩地用戶。

此外，Cityline於大灣區的線下兌票點已超過30個，對於計劃來港觀看演出或旅遊的內地居民，出發前已可於內地取票，方便用戶及早安排行程。

上線天際通便利出境用戶

此前，於五一長假期期間，華為旗下專為便利用戶於境外上網的「天際通」，亦同時將Cityline服務上線，意味華為手機及網頁用戶可透過「天際通」查看Cityline提供的演出及活動，並直接進入應用程式購買心水門票。

簽約儀式完結後，Cityline團隊前往華為東莞研究所，實地了解科技巨擘的發展與運作。展望未來，Cityline作為資訊科技整合解決方案企業，將與鴻蒙生態在技術及內容方面強強聯手，持續推出更多具創意的服務，為內地及港澳的鴻蒙系統用戶，帶來線上線下一體化的全新體驗，達至精準的資訊流通與消費引流。

As a leading information technology integrated solutions enterprise and the primary ticketing platform in Hong Kong and Macau, Cityline has been actively exploring the blue ocean of cultural and entertainment ticketing between Mainland China and Hong Kong in recent years, signing cooperation agreements with various renowned mainland enterprises. Most recently, Cityline has become the first Hong Kong ticketing platform to launch on Huawei's HarmonyOS. The two parties held a HarmonyOS ecosystem cooperation signing ceremony at the Huawei Shenzhen Base on 18 May, officially kicking off their partnership and marking a new chapter in Cityline's expansion into the mainland market.

Mr Marcus Lam, Executive Director and General Manager of Cityline, led a team of company representatives to attend the ceremony at the Huawei Shenzhen Base. They met with Mr Tan Yu, President of the Overseas Business and Solutions Department of Huawei Device Cloud Services and Mr Li Yong, Operations Director of the Overseas Centre at Huawei Device Cloud Service. On the same day, they visited Songshanhu Area, ’the high-tech development zone in Dongguan—the Ox Horn Campus (Huawei R&D Centre)—for a fruitful exchange of ideas.

At the Huawei Shenzhen Base, both parties shared their development plans for Cityline and HarmonyOS. Mr Marcus Lam pointed out, "We have extensive experience collaborating with theatres across the Greater Bay Area (GBA), with service points spanning Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Dongguan, and Foshan. By launching on HarmonyOS, Cityline provides mainland users with information and ticketing services, tailored payment methods for the mainland market, and over 30 physical ticket collection points across the Mainland. This creates a more comprehensive online-to-offline experience, allowing users to collect their tickets in the Mainland before departing for Hong Kong."

Catering to the Travel Preferences of Greater Bay Area Residents

"Furthermore, we have observed a shift in the travel and leisure preferences of GBA residents visiting Hong Kong. Therefore, we are closely following market demands to promote Hong Kong's cultural activities. For example, we have introduced four major family-friendly destinations on our platform, including the highly popular Yau Ma Tei Police Station, which just opened earlier this year."

Mr Tan Yu, President of the Overseas Business and Solutions Department of Huawei Device Cloud Services stated, "To ensure domestic users have an excellent overseas experience, we aim to elevate the consumption concept and provide information on new attractions. With Huawei acting as the platform, Cityline delivers information on performances and events, along with a seamless ticketing and payment experience."

Following the launch of the Cityline ticketing app on the HarmonyOS AppGallery, mainland users can directly access the Cityline platform to purchase tickets for cultural, arts, and entertainment programmes across Hong Kong, Macau, and the broader GBA, as well as admission tickets to tourist attractions in Hong Kong and Macau. In addition to the ticketing experience, Cityline offers diverse payment methods for users in Hong Kong, Macau, and the Mainland. Mainland audiences can purchase tickets on the platform using UnionPay, Alipay, and WeChat Pay, while the Hong Kong and Macau markets are covered by various payment methods, including credit cards and different e-wallets, providing comprehensive convenience for users across the regions.

Additionally, Cityline has established over 30 physical ticket collection points across the GBA. For mainland residents planning to visit Hong Kong for performances or tourism, they can now collect their tickets in the Mainland before their departure, facilitating early travel arrangements.

Creating a Brand-New Cultural and Entertainment Ticketing Experience in the Greater Bay Area

During the long Labour Day holiday, Huawei's "SkyTone" – an application designed to facilitate global internet access for users travelling abroad – also integrated Cityline's services. This means that Huawei mobile and web users can browse performances and events provided by Cityline directly through SkyTone and enter the app to purchase their desired tickets.

Following the signing ceremony, the Cityline team visited the Huawei Ox Horn Campus in the afternoon, gained on-site insights into the development and daily operations of the tech giant. Looking ahead, as an IT integrated solutions enterprise, Cityline will join forces with Huawei in both technology and content. We will continue to launch more innovative services, bringing a brand-new, integrated online-to-offline experience to HarmonyOS users in the Mainland, Hong Kong, and Macau, achieving precise information distribution and driving consumer traffic.
