Reviving Old Buses: Giving Them a Second Life

An intriguing concept of repurposing obsolete and broken buses into modern and comfortable mini-hotels was developed by the owner of the Tai Tai Mountain Park entertainment complex located in Shanxi Province, China.

About the Project

The brain behind this idea, Guolin Han, acquired over 30 old buses and transformed the interior of each one into a unique hotel room. All the buses are situated directly in the amusement park's parking lot, forming a distinctive hotel complex.

Despite the unconventional choice of accommodation location, the rooms have been designed to provide maximum comfort. They are equipped with essential amenities such as bathrooms, large comfortable beds, air conditioning, TVs, and more. Furthermore, each room boasts a unique design incorporating elements of pop culture. Guests can opt for a room inspired by themes like Mickey Mouse, Hello Kitty, and more.

Financial Aspect of the Project

The expenses for purchasing the buses were minimal, as this type of transport was already unfit for regular use. The complete outfitting of one room cost the owner around $9,000. The nightly rate for a stay in these hotels is $43, and they have quickly gained popularity among young adults and families alike.

Future plans include expanding the fleet of such bus hotels to 200, as well as incorporating rooms in trucks, tractors, and even an airplane.
