Earlier this year (2013), Qingyu Chujì participated in the “Qunar.com & Yunlang Travel Present: Yunlang Takes You to Taiwan,” and decided to visit Taiwan once again in the role of a sleep tester. Selected sleep testers not only get the chance to stay in a variety of star-rated hotels, but also enjoy numerous sleep testing benefits. After more than a month of fierce online voting competition, a total of 13 finalists were selected in the first phase, divided among the Taiwan, Hong Kong–Macau–International, and Mainland China groups.

From September 22 to October 2, these sleep testers had the opportunity to come to Taiwan to fulfill their various travel dreams and personally experience hotels. During this period, they were required to post daily, sharing touching stories about the beauty of traveling in Taiwan. Qingyu Chujì, one of the sleep testers, said that what he looked forward to the most on this trip to Taiwan wasn’t just experiencing various accommodations, but also rediscovering the goodness of the Taiwanese people through different travel experiences.

After the second phase of the “Yunlang Takes You to Taiwan” competition, it is expected that on Thursday, October 3, two winners—one each from the Taiwan group and the Hong Kong–Macau–International group—who received the most page views from netizens and the highest scores from the Yunlang Travel judging panel will be selected. Each winner will receive free accommodation vouchers for six nights at two Italian hotels owned by the Yunlang Travel Group, allowing them to explore Italy, known as the cradle of European ethnicities and culture, and uncover the glorious history of the ancient Roman Empire.
