The Fàng Sōng houseboat is a solar-powered motorboat with tiny home features.
It has a pop-up kitchen table and a bike storage compartment under the living room floor.
Take a look inside.

The Fàng Sōng is capable of traveling on rivers, lakes, and inland waterways — just not the open ocean.

Its kitchen features a pop-up dining table. There’s also a foldable desk hidden in a cabinet to provide a temporary workspace.

There are multiple entrances on each side of the boat for easy accessibility. The bow side provides access to the main kitchen area.

The average range of the Fàng Sōng is 50 km (31 miles) per day on sunny days, Crossboundaries says. Which means it’s not suitable for long, non-stop journeys.

A pellet stove, remotely controlled by an app, helps heat the boat.

Crossboundaries said the boat’s owner plans to add a water purification system and a biological sewage treatment unit to allow for longer journeys.
