Hit the hotel for a weekend with oneself

Staycations a rising trend among young workers seeking sanctuary from the pressures of daily life

Almost every month, Wu Yutao, an employee at an internet company in Shanghai, carves out one or two weekends to stay in a hotel, stepping away from his hectic work to indulge in a brief, yet revitalizing solo journey.

"Sipping a drink and unwinding in a quiet space is a buffer from the frenetic pace of weekdays," said the 32-year-old.

This is not his choice alone. In today's fast-paced society, many young people are choosing to spend their weekends alone or with close friends in a hotel to relieve stress and find themselves.
