China: 30cm Wide Vertical Room for Rent

A vertical room, only 30 centimeters wide, is being rented out in China. Despite its extreme narrowness, it is offered for 8 yuan per night (approximately $1.12), which is equivalent to about $34.9 per month. According to the viral video, the dwelling is a narrow space between two walls, featuring an extremely thin bed that barely fits a person, and a television mounted horizontally due to the lack of vertical space. The video also highlights a comical aspect of the severe tightness, with the act of bringing a pizza into the 'room' resembling a complex rescue mission. Despite widespread criticism of these types of accommodations, their owners insist they serve as an economical choice for those who cannot afford high rents in major cities, particularly for workers, bachelors, and students who spend most of their time away from home.
