For example, a customized residential container mobile home in Yuhang, Hangzhou, includes basic wall insulation, double-glazed windows, non-slip flooring, LED lighting, and pre-installed electrical outlets, priced at 5,800 yuan. These homes feature modular design for quick assembly and disassembly, are reusable, and suitable for construction site dormitories and temporary offices.
