BEIJING: Young mother Zhang Jingyi is willing to pay 50,000 yuan ($7,700) to a hotel owner in a coastal township about 3,000km to the south of Beijing, where she lives, to cover the cost of renovating the hotel’s rooftop.

Zhang is not a real estate investor. Nor is she a property broker or private detective used to observing targets from on high. She’s a freelance photographer who just wants a neat, clean platform in Longlou township in Hainan province for her newest hobby – taking pictures of soaring Chinese carrier rockets.
