The community and apartment entrance

Lizzy takes viewers around her mother’s home in a smaller city outside Qingdao. The visit begins in the surrounding community, where low-rise buildings and greenery give the area a different feel from the dense high-rises she associates with larger cities. Residents are out jogging and children ride bicycles. A mountain is nearby, and Lizzy points out the neighborhood before entering the apartment building. She notes that the outside of a building does not necessarily tell a visitor what the home inside will look like.

Rooms, cats and the balcony

The apartment has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Lizzy walks through the living space, pointing out a reclining chair that she says is hard to find in China. She visits the kitchen and its appliances, the bathroom and an extra room, then shows her mother’s bedroom. The bathroom has a bathtub, which Lizzy also describes as uncommon in Chinese apartments. On the balcony she looks out at the view, while the family’s three cats appear during the tour.

Lizzy shares how her mother came to live in the apartment and talks about her adjustment to local customs, including leaving shoes outside the home. The rooms have personal touches, and the tour shows how her mother has made the space comfortable. Lizzy also mentions visiting her mother on Saturdays, making the apartment a place where the family spends time together.

Rent in a smaller city

Lizzy says her mother pays approximately 2600 RMB per month for the apartment, with a housing allowance from her employer helping cover the cost. She discusses housing allowances offered with some full-time jobs and compares costs in smaller cities with those in Shanghai and Beijing. Her account presents this home as an example of the space and quieter surroundings available outside a major city; costs vary by location, and the neighborhood and weather are also factors she considers.

The building entrance and the rooms inside form part of the same tour. Lizzy encourages viewers to look beyond an exterior before deciding what a home or neighborhood is like.
