Indian engineering student reveals life inside hostel in China: ‘This gives me major C-drama vibes'
'Hi everyone! I'm from India, and in this video, I'm giving you a tour of my university dorm here in Shenzhen, China,' Saloni Choudhary wrote. In the following few lines, she described her dorm as 'super cute, cosy, and perfect for student life.'
'I'm studying here on a fully funded scholarship, which means I don't have to worry about tuition fees, dorm expenses, or most other costs — such a blessing for international students!' she continued.
She starts the tour of her hostel right from the outside, giving a glimpse of the huge space students can use. As she enters, she uses her student ID card to open a gate at the front and then access the lift.
Upon reaching her room floor, on the 17th floor, she shows how students can use their ID cards or face scan to enter the floor.
What does the hostel room look like?
She takes the viewers through her hostel room, which is designed to accommodate four people. It shows efficient storage places designed all across the room for the occupants - complete with a table and a bed for each student.
During her tour, she captures the common bathroom area and the washing space, where students can use the washing machines for free.

How did social media react?
An individual posted, 'So much difference in Indian Dorms & Chinese Dorms... I mean, look at the cleanliness, privacy, open environment, and free stuff like printing machines, the washing machine facility, and the washroom facility. The one thing I personally loved was the neatness and cleanliness. Living at a place like this can surely bring me mental peace, more productivity, good health, and the ability to feel more and more free.'
Another added, 'The campus is so clean and pretty, Indian colleges could never.' A third expressed, 'The amount of stuff and facilities you people get free of cost [maybe included somewhere else] is amazing. And the view from that terrace [connection between buildings] looks awesome for walking anytime. Study hard and enjoy.'
A fourth wrote, 'Literally, you are so lucky!! I loved your vlog. I thought in C-dramas, they pretend they have such amazing cute dorm rooms, and you showed us that it's true. Omgg, make your parents proud, girlie!!'

Mussoorie plans mandatory pre-registration for tourists to manage peak season crowd
Dehradun: Authorities are planning to launch a pre-registration system for tourists visiting Mussoorie during peak travel seasons to tackle overcrowding and manage traffic after footfall doubled between 2022 and 2024. Tourists who fail to register may be denied entry at key checkpoints under the proposed system. More than 21 lakh visitors had reached the hill town in 2024, up from over 11 lakh in 2022, officials said. Secretary (tourism) Dhiraj Singh Garbyal told TOI the first step would be to estimate the number of tourists and vehicles arriving during peak periods — summer and winter holidays and long weekends — by installing cameras at three entry points: Kimadi, Kempty Fall and Kuthal gate. "The problem of overcrowding and long traffic jams is only during the peak season, so there's no point having a year-round pre-registration system. Our teams are working on introducing the concept during those times," he said. Long traffic jams of several hours have become a frequent problem during tourist weekends, especially from Gandhi Chowk to Mall Road. In June this year, a Delhi tourist died after being stuck in congestion and failing to reach hospital care. The proposed registration form would collect details like number of tourists, contact and vehicle numbers, tour duration and accommodation. Garbyal added that tourism department officials met stakeholders on Friday and discussed key aspects of the plan. "Through this exercise, we intend to study, assess the situation and then take effective steps like pre-registration or having one-way roads for entry and exit," he said. The online registration will be OTP-based. Indian tourists will get their OTP on their phones, while foreigners will receive it by email. Once completed, the registration will generate a QR code. Vehicles entering Mussoorie will be screened through Automated Number Plate Recognition systems, and tourists without a valid QR code may be turned away at the entry points. The tourism department also plans to install Automated Number Plate Recognition systems at the three identified entry points. The QR codes will be verified by staff before allowing entry. Officials have also halted construction on Mall Road after a court order, citing concerns that ongoing work may worsen traffic congestion. Sandeep Sahni, president of Mussoorie Hotel Association, and others present at the meeting, raised concerns over the recurring problem.
