Claustrophobics beware: Beijing's capsule apartment

A view of a capsule room, which measures 7.2 feet long, 4.1 feet tall, and 3.9 feet wide, in a residential apartment in Chaoyang district in Beijing on March 11. An overnight accommodation in such a tiny room costs a tenant less than 100 yuan ($16) a day, a big bargain compared with conventional hotels. About 20 such tiny rooms are in this 160-square-meter capsule apartment. Despite its affordable price, however, this capsule apartment has been operating without a license, and whether it will remain open in the future is doubtful. [Photo/CFP]
