Spending two weeks in a storage box isn't most holidaymakers' idea of a relaxing break.

But guests may be surprised when they visit a new and unusual Chinese hotel, which has been built
from shipping containers.

Thirty-five recycled containers of different sizes were used to make the quirky 21-room venue in
China's Shanxi province.

Covering an area of 5,000 square metres in an attractive country location, the hotel has courtyard
rooms, deluxe suites, a lobby and restaurants.

Rooms have double beds positioned behind stylish double doors and access to patio areas so guests
can sit outside and relax.

The hotel, created by Beijing-based firm Tonghe Shanzi Landscape Design, took three months to design
and transport and is expected to open in August.
