Zhongshan Rural Container House
The applications of container houses in rural Zhongshan are mainly reflected in creative market rentals, rural cultural tourism projects, and personal residential renovations.
In terms of creative market rentals, the "Houzishan" Creative Market in Pingnan Village, Sanxiang Town, Zhongshan City, conducted a rental bidding for containers numbered 1 to 15. These containers have varying rental base prices ranging from 800 to 1,500 yuan per month, depending on their location and size, with a lease term of 3 years. Each container ranges in size from 15 to 77 square meters, with corresponding differences in starting rental bids. This rental model provides a new commercial operation method for rural areas and promotes local economic development.
Regarding rural cultural tourism projects, Yakou Village in Zhongshan City utilized containers to create a Container Style Street, which has become a popular网红打卡点 (internet-famous check-in spot) in the area. These containers have been renovated into beverage shops, specialty light dining establishments, etc., not only generating rental income for the village collective but also attracting a large number of tourists and driving the development of the local agricultural, cultural, and tourism industries. The successful operation of Container Style Street demonstrates the unique charm and application potential of container houses in rural tourism.
In terms of personal residential renovations, there is a case where a couple from Guangzhou rented wasteland in Nanlang Town, Zhongshan, and used a container as their wedding house. They renovated a 17-square-meter container, including designs for windows and ventilation, making it a livable residential space. This renovation method not only reflects the flexibility and customizability of container houses but also provides a new residential option for rural areas.
