Ten Chinese agencies propose insurance products for motorhome consumption

In Jining District of Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, five standardized motorhome campsites have been optimized, providing 1,002 parking spaces, 41 camping pitches and 122 charging piles, with water, sewage and sanitation facilities fully upgraded. The campsite at the east hall of the exhibition center, previously without utilities, was connected to water and electricity in early July and completed in early August; it now accommodates 70 motorhomes. During the peak season from mid-June to early September, visitors spend about 10,000 yuan per month. Authorities plan to develop autumn-winter tourism, including ice and snow sports, red tourism and hot springs.

At the Bailidujuan motorhome campsite in Guizhou province, which hosted 728 vehicles and over 1,300 visitors this summer, a motorhome owner from Ningbo known as Mao Mao Jie set up a mobile coffee shop. She arrived in May with her children intending a short stay but remained for three months due to the area's average summer temperature of 19°C. The coffee shop operates daily from 8 a.m., serving mainly fellow campers.

Over summer, a motorhome campsite in Baili-Dujuan (Bijie, Guizhou) hosted 1,300 tourists and 728 vehicles. Some guests set up trading, selling food and goods.

Chinese outlet Sina published a comparison of three loop routes for a 7-day summer camper trip. The Hulunbuir route (about 1,200 km, averaging 200 km per day, 22°C) is recommended for families with children; the Ili route (about 900 km) is for photographers and stargazers, though the Duku Highway may see congestion in peak season; the Qinghai-Gansu route (over 1,400 km, averaging 200 km per day) suits those interested in culture and geography. Class B camper rental costs 800–1,200 yuan per day, with minimum expenses from 4,000 yuan per person. Campsite fees range from 20–150 yuan per night, and fuel and toll costs range from 1,200–2,500 yuan depending on the route. For a family of two adults and one child, total costs are estimated at 10,000–12,000 yuan.

Ten Chinese government departments issued measures to boost motorhome and caravan consumption. Mandatory scrappage is abolished for small and micro non-commercial motorhomes, while the service life for rental motorhomes is extended from 15 to 25 years and for caravans from 15 to 20 years. The plan includes building parking and campsites, expanding C6 licence test centres and providing financial support.

China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism and nine other departments issued guidelines to develop RV tourism, including extending service life and improving infrastructure.
