Lanzhou Dushi Youjia Business Management Co., Ltd.

Founded in 2024 and based in Lanzhou, China, Lanzhou Dushi Youjia Business Management Co. , Ltd. manages and operates short-term rental properties, with a focus on homestays. The company’s founder, Xu Xiaofang, introduced concepts such as “family homestay,” “same-city house swap,” and “three themed homestays,” aiming to activate idle housing resources and improve utilization efficiency while enhancing guest experience.

In July 2025, the company closed a round of angel funding from new investor Early Traveler Venture Capital. The company provides homestay operation and management services, including property renovation, furnishing, listing and daily operations. Its offerings include family-style homestays, themed accommodations and same-city house swap services. These are designed to cater to different customer segments, from travelers seeking a home-like experience to local residents wanting short-term lifestyle changes.

The company generates revenue from service fees and management contracts with property owners, as well as a share of rental income from operated homestay properties. The company plans to expand its operations to more cities nationwide, adopt standardized operations and refined management practices, and enhance brand visibility to position itself as the largest homestay brand in China.
