Located in an ordinary-looking factory on the suburb of the eastern city of Hangzhou, a rented container was turned into the warm garden home by Ruan Chenhai.

I rented the container at 1,200 yuan ($180.8) per month and now I have a home with fountain, grassland and trees at the front door, said Ruan, an entrepreneur.

Inside Ruan's fairytale garden home, there’s a complete set of sandal wood furniture and all-white beddings. The 10-square-meter home has a well-functioning bathroom with separate dry and wet sections, resembling very much a well-furnished apartment.
