Visitors take photos of an egg-shaped mobile house near its owner Dai Haifei's office building in Beijing. Dai, who is from central China's Hunan province and cannot afford Beijing's high rental prices, has been living in the house which costs about 6427 yuan ($965). The house is made of bamboo strips, steel bars, heat prevention and waterproof materials, sacks filled with fermented wood chips and grass seeds, as well as one solar-cell panel, local media reported.
