[Social Media]

A Chinese man's harrowing ordeal at a Tibetan hotel, where a corpse was found under his bed, has led to a murder investigation and a suspect's arrest.

The man noticed a "strong" smell when he checked into his hotel in Lhasa on 21 April.

After he moved to a different room, a body was discovered under the bed he had slept on for three hours.

Later that night, police told him they had arrested a person in connection with the case.

The man, identified in local media only as Mr Zhang, later told Shangyou News that he left Lhasa the next day.

With its warm lights and wooden balconies, Guzang Shuhua Inn, where Mr Zhang stayed, is a so-called influencer hotel, popular on social media as an ideal spot for photos.
