The eight-day holiday starts on Friday, which marks Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people choose to travel during the holiday. They are busy booking hotel rooms which are sold out fast and expensive. At the same time, “Living in my home during the National Day holiday” gets popular online.
A 25-year-old man in Xiamen has rented (租) out his apartment to two women traveling to the city from Xi’an, Shaanxi province. They will rent the 30-square-meter apartment at 200 yuan per night for seven days, while a hotel room can easily cost more than 500 yuan a night during that time, Cai said. “It is the first time I am letting out my apartment during a holiday. I wanted to give it out to someone who will keep it clean,” he said. Cai and his would-be guests saw pictures of their ID cards each other and the women paid him 200 yuan as a deposit (押金). He will spend the holidays at his parents’ house, also in Xiamen. “There are no expensive and important things in my apartment, and after checking the guests’ personal information, I made up my mind to give it a shot,” he said.
What’s more, a woman from Changsha advertised (宣传) two spare rooms in her apartment only for female (女性的) guests, as she will be using the main bedroom. She is charging 188 yuan for the two rooms per day, and the rooms have been booked for all the available days.
