Word origin

青年旅社 (qīngniánlǚshè, "youth hostel") combines 青年 (qīngnián, "young people") with 旅社 (lǚshè, "lodging house"), so the name identifies both its intended guests and its basic lodging function.

Usage tips

  • The word's youth label describes its intended travel audience, not necessarily a strict age limit, so booking policies still need checking.
