Capsule hotels have recently become popular in China to meet the growing needs of travelers. Local operators have created distinctive accommodations with a distinct "Chinese aesthetic" based on the concept of Japanese capsule hotels. Would you like to give them a try?

According to Lonely Planet, this capsule hotel called "Enjoy Sleep Space" has recently opened in Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu. Future expansion cities include Qingdao, Nanjing, Shenzhen, and more. It is expected that by the end of this summer, travelers will be able to find Enjoy Sleep Space in these cities. The service they provide is short-term rest in a private space. This is also the biggest difference from Japanese capsule hotels, as it mainly offers a resting service.

Travelers who wish to book can do so via their mobile phones. In terms of pricing, the cost for resting during peak hours is 1.5 RMB (approximately 50 TWD) for half an hour. Those looking to sleep can rest in a space that resembles a spaceship capsule.

Capsule hotels are one of the sharing economy models that have recently emerged in China, offering travelers more diverse options for rest during their trips.
