A young Chinese couple who long for an idyllic lifestyle came up with the idea of building a holiday home out of two empty containers. /VCG Photo

Both the outside and inside completed on a budget of 20,000 yuan during August, 2019. The villa is equipped with water and electricity and various household appliances. /VCG Photo

The couple got a sheep as a gift for a roast feast but it has become a pet, which now lives around the villa. /VCG Photo

The couple will use the villa as a holiday home. The husband grew up in the countryside, where he developed the strong hands-on ability that allowed them to build the house by themselves – with a little help from the family. /VCG Photo
