  1. Hi Min Min,
    I do not understand hotel room of ShungRenfang(双人房). I am not sure,it means that a single bed which fits two people or two separate beds in the one room. Please help.

    1. Hi Lary,
      According to dictionary, 双人房 means double-bedded room / twin room.
      For hotel room (based on my understanding), it should mention 2 张单人床/2 张小床 （2 single/small beds) or 1 张双人床。
      Thanks.
