Sina Tourism published a comparison of three five-day motorhome itineraries based on summer 2025–2026 field data. The South Zhejiang Qiandao Lake–Moganshan loop is aimed at families with children: average daily drive about 2 hours, budget about 5,500 yuan per vehicle. The West Sichuan mini-loop (Chengdu–Kangding–Xinduqiao–Danba–Siguniangshan) covers about 800 km and suits beginners, with a budget of about 3,000 yuan per vehicle and altitudes of 2,500–3,500 m. The grassland route from the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region covers 680 km with daily drives of no more than 130 km and costs about 750 yuan per person. For the Qiandao Lake loop, a Class C motorhome under 6 metres is recommended due to height and turning-radius limits; popular campsites at Qiandao Lake and Moganshan require booking one week ahead, and grassland campsites 7 days ahead in June–August.
