Rental-Based Travel Gains Popularity Among Chinese Youth

The rental-based travel trend is rising among young Chinese, who now frequently lease high-end cameras and smartphones for trips and concerts instead of buying them. This model, driven by a "use over ownership" mindset, offers a cost-effective way to enhance experiences—like capturing professional-grade concert footage or stable travel videos. While popular for its flexibility and savings, users advise caution: recommending reputable vendors, thorough device checks, and keeping video records to mitigate risks like faulty equipment or privacy concerns. (Photo/ VCG)
