Sina published a detailed 7-day motorhome itinerary for families in the Hulunbuir grasslands (Inner Mongolia). The route covers about 1600 km with a daily drive of 200–300 km, designed for a slow travel pace. Highlights include the Morigele River valley, Aoluguya reindeer tribe, Erguna wetlands, the border road along the Argun River, Manzhouli city, and Hulun Lake. Activities include deer feeding, horseback riding, dairy making, and stargazing. In peak season (July–August), average temperatures are 18–22 °C. Campsites in Hailar, Erguna, and Manzhouli offer water and electricity. A C1 driver's license is sufficient. Estimated cost for a family of three for 7 days is 8000–12000 yuan.

An article describes a five-day, four-night motorhome route through western Sichuan, China. The route starts in Chengdu and passes through Yingxiu, Lixian, Heishui, Maoxian and Wenchuan. The total cost is estimated at 6,000 yuan, including food, lodging, fuel and tolls. The itinerary includes free attractions such as Danzhamugou forest, the Tibetan villages of Yangronghade and Luolicuo, and Yakexia National Forest Park, which charges a 20 yuan cleaning fee per family. The article also offers advice on campsite selection, necessary equipment and safety precautions.

In summer 2026, China's cultural tourism subsidy of 450 million yuan makes motorhome travel more affordable. A route through Guizhou province is proposed: from Guiyang to the Baili Dujuan motorhome camp in Bijie, the largest in the country, with visits to Zhijin Cave and Wumeng Prairie. Camping costs 20 yuan per day, motorhome rental from 400 yuan. The route is about 500 km long, with daily drives not exceeding 2 hours.

Liu Peijin, a 69-year-old former soldier from Weifang, Shandong province, has spent over a decade traveling across China in a camper with his paralyzed wife, refusing to let her spend her final years in a hospital. In 2010, the woman suffered partial paralysis on her left side due to diabetes complications. In 2014, the couple set off in an ordinary car, later upgrading to a camper van equipped with two beds, air conditioning, and a kitchenette. Liu acts as driver, cook, doctor, and caregiver, administering medication, foot baths, and rehabilitation exercises. They have visited 31 of China's 33 provincial-level regions. In April 2026, a video of Liu feeding his wife went viral on social media. The couple now plans a new trip to lesser-known destinations in China.

The article describes a five-day family summer itinerary in Liaoning Province, featuring Qianshan Mountain (5A scenic area), Laoyuanzi amusement park, and motorhome camping in Benxi. The per-person budget ranges from 1,500 to 3,000 yuan, with mountain temperatures 6-8°C lower than in the city. Families without a car are advised to focus on Anshan, while those with a car can combine both destinations.
