BEIJING: A Chinese woman has opened a mausoleum-themed inn to let people experience the feeling of death.

Jiao Meige set up the Mausoleum Inn in a house in Lishui town, Jiangsu province, reports the Jinling Evening Post.

The building is shaped like a Chinese mausoleum, and the beds are in the shapes of coffins. Jiao says the idea for the Mausoleum Inn came to her in a flash.

"Since there are so many graves, why don't I give people a chance to experience death?" she asked.

"There are no services at night, and the guest can go nowhere, since outside is just a vast graveyard." Jiao says no residents with heart problems will be accepted, and mental patients must be accompanied by healthy people.
