Taipei, Oct. 8 (CNA) President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) on Tuesday unveiled a suite in the century-old

Presidential Office building, where 18 foreign nationals will take turns to stay overnight as their prize in a video blogging competition hosted by the government to promote Taiwan internationally.

In a recorded video on Facebook, Tsai gave a tour of the suite in the Lixing Building, a two-story structure in the Presidential Office compound, and highlighted the locally made furnishings and decor.

"Our goal is simple. We want the guests to enjoy the most welcoming, authentic Taiwanese ambience during their stay," Tsai said in the two-and-a-half-minute video.

The first occupant of the suite will be Kim Juhyeok, a South Korean travel photographer and blogger, who will stay overnight Tuesday.    [FULL  STORY]
