Over a weekend earlier this month, I made a trip to the ancient city of Pingyao in North China s Shanxi province. I stayed at a
minsu, which roughly translates as Chinese-style bed-and-breakfast homestay , part of an emerging business segment in the tourism industry.
The
minsu was renovated for tourists craving for a different kind of private accommodation. Its high-end furniture took me by surprise, and services were as good as those offered by star hotels.
