A Chinese outlet compared three routes for a seven-day motorhome trip during the summer holidays. The Qinghai-Gansu route covers about 2,800 km with 4-5 hours of driving per day and links Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake and Dunhuang. The Hulunbuir route covers about 1,200 km with 2-3 hours of driving per day at around 22 °C. The 500 km Taihu loop has a budget of 1,000-1,500 yuan per person and relies on 65 stopover points across Jiangsu province. Electric and water hook-ups at the Qinghai Lake Erlangjian motorhome campsite cost 80-150 yuan per night. In the peak season from 10 July to 25 August, the outlet recommends booking motorhomes and campsites 30 days in advance.
