In the first episode of series two of Tracing Trend, we explore the rise of experience travel in the wake of China's Zero-Covid restrictions. Chenyu Zheng is a best-selling author, business owner and travel-trail blazer.

Feeling burnt out and disillusioned with the 996 lifestyle she found herself in working in finance and tech, Chenyu embarked on a new lifestyle, inspired by the idea of living locally. Her experiment, 365 days on Airbnb, led to the creation of her book, "606 Days Without a Lease," in which Chenyu documents her fascinating exploration of the sharing economy, the highs and lows she experienced and how this altered her approach to life.
