A woman residing near the Taipei International Flora Expo received two free flight tickets Wednesday after a lucky draw determined that she was officially the 2 millionth visitor. Chang-Liu Tsai-lien, 60, also received a certificate allowing her to visit five of the expo's most popular exhibition halls -- the Pavilion of Dreams, the Pavilion of Regimen, the Taipei Story House, Expo Theater and Celebrity's House -- without having to wait in line. The flight tickets, provided by EVA Airways, allow the winner and her companion to travel to any of the Asian destinations the carrier serves. The 2 millionth visitor was recorded at around 10 a.m. that day, but the Taipei International Flora Expo Operational Headquarters could not immediately identify who the visitor was because the exposition has many entrances and ticket sale counters. The headquarters awarded vouchers to the 1,999,500th visitor and the 999 visitors who followed, from among whom the 2 millionth visitor was chosen in the lucky draw presided over by Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin. Chang-Liu said she and her husband have toured the expo almost every day since its opening because it is only a 10-minute walk from their home. 'Both of us have bought season tickets for the event and we like every exhibit on display,' she said. Four other visitors were also chosen in the lucky draw, each of whom was given a season ticket for the expo as second prize. Five more visitors were chosen as third prize-winners, each of whom received a collection of Flora Expo souvenirs. The operational headquarters said the arrival of the 2 millionth visitor came earlier than expected. The organizers had originally projected that a total of 8 million people will visit the fair during its run from Nov. 6 through April 25, 2011. It took 22 days for the visitor number to reach 1 million -- on Nov. 27 -- and only a further 18 days to tally the 2 millionth visitor. 'The figures indicate that the number of visitors is increasing at an ever faster pace, ' a spokesman for the headquarters said, adding that the daily visitor number has hit an average of 50,000.
