Kiss a Mango to Win ¥10,000 and Get a Chance to Draw Airline Tickets

Written/Compiled and Reported by MOOK Travel Life Net’s Chen Guanxin

As midsummer arrives, so does the peak mango season. In India, mango trees are known as "love trees," and mangoes are affectionately called the "fruit of love." To blend the romantic tales of the fruit of love with the specialty of Tainan’s Yuquan District—mangoes—the “Romantic Siraya – Summer Love” series of events will host the “Mango Kiss” contest on June 30 in Yuquan District’s Green Tunnel. Approximately 99 couples, friends, or pairs are expected to participate. Aside from the top prize of ¥10,000, all participants will receive perks such as mango ice vouchers and Siraya Enjoyment Cards. Registration is now open.

Contestants must form pairs and place a mango between their cheeks, kissing it only with their lips. The top three pairs with the longest kiss duration will win prizes ranging from ¥10,000 to ¥3,000. All participants will receive rewards including mango ice vouchers from Youjian Ice Shop, mango beer, fresh Irwin mangoes, commemorative photos, and Siraya Enjoyment Cards. Those who get married within one year of the contest date (by June 30, 2013) will also receive special benefits for a Siraya Scenic Area wedding photo shoot, a three-day-two-night honeymoon package, and a chance to win round-trip international air tickets.

In addition, the event site will feature booths from over 20 local specialty industries. Visitors can participate in a lucky draw by donating three receipts (from May or June). The site will also collaborate with the Wangming Community Development Association to organize a mango-picking activity, allowing participants to take fresh native mangoes home for free.
