About Qunar
Qunar is a Chinese travel metasearch site founded in 2005, and was Ctrip's largest rival until Baidu traded its controlling stake for Ctrip shares in 2015. The two now sit inside the same group while continuing to operate separately. Its name means where to go in Mandarin, and it was listed on the Nasdaq separately before Ctrip took control and later took it private again.
