Chinese outlet Sina published a selection of four three-day motorhome routes tested in August–September 2026. The budget ranges from 500 to 2,500 yuan per vehicle depending on the route.

Each includes campsites with electricity and water, as well as limitations: no facilities at wild sites and booking required 3–14 days in advance.

Mandatory scrappage is removed for small and micro non-commercial motorhomes, aligning their service life with passenger cars; for rental motorhomes the limit rises from 15 to 25 years, and for residential trailers from 15 to 20 years. Local authorities are encouraged to build dedicated motorhome parking areas, while expressway service areas are to provide water, electricity and waste disposal. A C6 driving licence category is to be added, alongside new safety standards and support for new-energy models.
