Qunar recently further expanded its hotel coverage to lower end hotels in China; including inns, hostels, apartments, etc. Prices in this range of accommodation run as low as RMB20/bed/night or even less. Qunar mainly offers these low-end hotels through group-buy, cash rebate, direct sales and flash sales.

Unique Visitors (UV's) were some 40% higher, and conversion ratio was ~25% higher, according to survey data from ctcnn.com.
