Zhengzhou Container Houses for Living

Admin September 17, 2026

Container houses in Zhengzhou can be used for living, as detailed below:

Early Application Cases: In September 2011, temporary dormitories made from repurposed shipping containers first appeared at a construction site on the east side of Zhongzhou Avenue in Zhengzhou. Each container had an internal area of approximately 18 square meters and was equipped with bunk beds, air conditioning, and other facilities, primarily rented out to migrant workers at a daily rate of 6 yuan, with tenants responsible for their own water and electricity. Such dormitories were distributed across more than a thousand locations in Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Kaifeng, and other cities in Henan Province, with over 600 located at construction sites in Zhengzhou alone. However, early-modified container dormitories had significant issues: the room size did not meet the 30-square-meter standard required for special industries, preventing them from obtaining legitimate hotel qualifications; the winter living environment was damp and cold, lacking openable windows and shower facilities, violating the "Environmental and Sanitary Standards for Construction Sites" and resulting in long-term ineffective supervision of living conditions.
