Liu Liu is also a cat. Her doting owner, Wu Qiuqiao, makes a living from designing miniature versions of traditional flowing Chinese gowns known as "hanfu" for cats and dogs that sell for up to 500 yuan ($70). After quitting her job as a copy editor last year, the 26-year-old works from her apartment in the central city of Changsha designing pet-sized dresses out of pastel-coloured chiffon and decorated with embroidery, beads, frills and motifs that she sells online.

"Some of my regulars may have already bought all the clothing in my store and occasionally ask me to introduce new designs," Wu said. Wu got the idea for making historic garb for pets after failing to find suitable styles for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] Liu Liu.

Wu sells up to a thousand pieces a month from her online store Chunfeng Daxiaoqiao and she regularly rolls out new designs to satisfy demand. "I think hanfu is a heritage of history, and is also very beautiful," Wu said. "(My business) can allow people who enjoy traditional culture, or young people who enjoy hanfu... to be able to adopt ideas they like through pet clothing."

By Colin Qian and Thomas Peter BEIJING, Jan 20 (Reuters) - It was freezing and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] the streets were slick as substitute driver Liu Pengfei bade farewell to his mother, wife and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] son before riding into Beijing on his tiny scooter. Liu, 33, and his fellow drivers make their living getting drunk people safely home. And with Beijing urging restaurants, entertainment venues and public transportation to extend hours in a bid to boost consumption, Liu's clients on DiDi Chuxing, China's biggest ride-hailing service platform, have [http://www.healthncure.net/?s=multiplied multiplied]. "My orders after midnight have grown a lot, and a third more of my customers are asking me to drive them to the next entertainment spot instead of going home," Liu said. "(Our) business makes the most money in the later half of the night." His rates triple after midnight. The high payoff has lured Liu to travel 20km (12 miles) from his home in nearby Hebei province daily. He earned 12,000 yuan ($1,742) a month on [http://www.healthynewage.com/?s=average average] last year. In some months, he raked in nearly 19,000 yuan, more than two times the average Beijing salary. He and other drivers hang around night spots - less than 100 metres (100 yards) away, 12 men at a table were gorging on meat and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] downing beer - and when hired, use their clients' own cars to drive them home. The drivers check their phones as they wait, ready for their first customer of the night to contact them through a mobile app. It is too soon to say whether extending opening hours of malls, creating food streets, and putting on late-night cultural performances will boost China's consumption, with the economy still languishing at near 30-year lows. But on-demand drivers seem to be one early beneficiary. Data from DiDi shows night-time orders for drivers increased 20% in Beijing's central business district last year compared with a year earlier. In other cities like Dongguan, Changsha and Zhengzhou, orders jumped even more, as much as 50%. Liu said he sees his business as promising, and plans to stick with it for the next few years. But, inevitably, family life suffers. "Some weekends, my son would hug my leg when I leave, crying and asking me to play with him," Liu said.
