Coffin Inn, China’s Death-Themed Hotel
This is possible the closest thing to death you will ever experience. Not for the fainted hearted, Coffin Inn is situated in a graveyard in Lishui town, Jiangsu province of China.
Jiao Meige, the owner of the soon-to-be Coffin Inn came up with the idea after her plan of using the land for farming was rendered useless due to the tombs on it.
It only costs 50 yuan ($9.70) a night for thrill seekers. The details of your stay at Coffin Inn follows:
‘The night begins with the guest taking his dinner, followed by a hot shower at the service centre.’ Then a journey into the dark and mysterious begins with a service attendant leading the guest on a 15-minute walk to the inn, with only an oil lamp for lighting. Ms Jiao said: ‘When he reaches the white, solitary concrete building, the guest will be led into the dark inn. ‘He will be invited to lie down inside a big, black coffin-like box.’ After ensuring that the guest is comfortable, the attendant pulls the lid over the coffin and leaves. Ms Jiao said ventilation is provided through appropriate holes but ‘don’t expect any air-condition or fan.’ For the rest of the night, she added: ‘All the guest has for company will be the occasional howls of the stray dogs. ‘There are no services in the night, and the guest has nowhere to go.’ Heart patients and mentally ill patients will not be allowed to sleep in. They have to be accompanied by someone healthy. - Electric New Paper
Sounds pretty spooky, the type of things that drives people insane? Although its safety is questionable, what happens if the person needs to go to the toilet during the night, or even worse, he has a nightmare?
For those that still dare to try it out, the hotel will be opened early next year and reservations can be made online.
