In the digital age, an emerging lifestyle has gradually entered people’s horizons—digital nomads. As for the digital nomad community, as a gathering place for this group, its cost performance and living experience have become the focus of attention. Today, I will take you to a digital nomad community that only costs 300 yuan/month (including water and electricity) to find out what it is all about.
In communities such as Fishing Village in Anji, Zhejiang, Q Sibei in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, and 400 Hezi in Nanjing, I experienced different styles of digital nomad life. Each of these communities has its own characteristics, some are famous for their natural scenery, while others attract tourists with their complete facilities and services. But what impressed me the most was the DNA Fishing Village Digital Nomad Commune with affordable prices and beautiful environment.
The price strategy of DNA Fishing Village is eye-catching. A six-person room only costs 300 yuan/month, a four-person room costs 400 yuan/month, and single and double rooms cost between 900 and 1,000 yuan/month. What’s even more surprising is that water, electricity and sanitation costs are also included. In comparison, prices in other communities are generally on the higher side. For example, the monthly rent for a six-square-meter box in 400 Hezi in Nanjing is as high as 2,000 yuan; while the price of a room in Moganshan Muke Cooperative is as high as more than 3,000 yuan per month.
In addition to the price advantage, the facilities and services of DNA Fishing Village are also satisfactory. There are multiple dormitory areas, office areas, entertainment gyms, shared kitchens, etc. The outdoor public areas are also large, with lawns and open spaces for residents to relax and entertain. Despite the low price, the facilities and services here are not compromised.
However, there are often hidden costs behind the price/performance ratio. In DNA Fishing Village, due to the affordable price, you need to wait in line for accommodation and office areas. Especially for single rooms and premium workstations, you may have to wait several months. In addition, shared kitchens also require queuing during peak periods. But these prices may be acceptable to digital nomads who pursue cost-effectiveness.
Compared with DNA Fishing Village, Q Sibes Community is similar in price, but slightly inferior in facilities and services. Especially in terms of sound insulation and kitchen facilities, Q Sibes seems to be inferior to DNA Fishing Village. However, Q Sibes also has its own advantages, such as its lower degree of commercialization and its proximity to the city. Nanjing 400 Hezi is an extreme example. It tried to expand the office area by compressing private space, but this approach encountered difficulties in actual operation.
As an emerging lifestyle, the future of the digital nomad community is full of endless possibilities. However, issues such as how to balance cost performance and living experience, and how to find a sustainable profit model still require us to think and explore. In the next video, I will provide an in-depth analysis of the profit model and development prospects of the digital nomad community, so stay tuned!
