This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-126381) filed by eLong, Inc., a Cayman Islands company (the “Registrant”), on July 5, 2005 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933.

On May 31, 2016, the Registrant completed the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 4, 2016 (as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated as of April 1, 2016, the “Merger Agreement”), among the Registrant; China E-dragon Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands company (“Parent”); and China E-dragon Mergersub Limited, a Cayman Islands company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).
