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.

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.
