Two sources present summer 7-day RV itineraries in China: routes through Guizhou and Shanxi, and a separate Sichuan itinerary. Prices, infrastructure and attractions are compared.
Liangzhou District (Wuwei, Gansu) has launched several equipped RV campsites this summer, located by parks and lakes. The sites provide water, electricity, showers and waste disposal. Local authorities have linked the campsites with historical attractions (Leitai Han Tomb, Confucian Temple, Tiantishan Caves) and promote a 'lakeside parking + ancient city walk' route. The goal is to turn Liangzhou from a Silk Road transit point into a full-fledged tourist destination.
In Longde County (Ningxia), cool summer temperatures around 18°C and improved RV infrastructure are driving tourism. The Hongya market campsite offers parking, water, electricity and EV charging stations.
China is seeing a surge in demand for motorhomes and camping. Exports of motorhomes from Rongcheng reached 1.06 billion yuan in the first half of the year, up 21% year-on-year, while domestic sales grew by over 40%. Motorhome rentals also rose, with occupancy in popular cities exceeding 70% in the last two months and orders up more than 50%. Authorities are introducing support measures, including easing road regulations and improving campsite infrastructure.
Dongfeng Fengxing Lingzhi EV, a large electric MPV, is available from 89,900 yuan. In summer 2026, discounts up to 21,600 yuan are offered in Binzhou, Yunfu, Liu'an, and other cities. The vehicle is 5.14 meters long with a 3-meter wheelbase, suitable as a base for camper conversions. Versions with 420 km and 460 km ranges are available, along with an extended-range hybrid version. It is recommended to perform conversions only in certified workshops to avoid registration and insurance issues.
A video blogger traveling by motorhome in Xinjiang in winter reported that a fox stole and ate a dish of stir-fried pork kidneys he had cooked at -16°C. The video also shows him collecting coal for free heating.
A family from Henan province embarked on a road trip across the Tibetan Plateau to find wild hot springs at an altitude of 3,800 meters. During the journey, their motorhome was severely shaken on rough terrain, causing damage. The video of the adventure was posted on NetEase.
Dongfeng Xinghai V9 pop-top camper prices announced: Enjoy Edition (4-seat) promotional price from 223,800 yuan, tax-exempt, on-road about 234,000 yuan; Comfort Edition (7-seat) from 243,800 yuan, on-road about 253,000 yuan. With trade-in subsidy, the base price drops to 198,800 yuan. The factory pop-top plug-in hybrid MPV offers 200 km electric range and 1,300 km combined range.
According to a publication dated August 6, 2026, three verified routes for summer motorhome camping are proposed: around Taihu Lake from Shanghai (3 days, 2 nights, return trip about 3 hours), a suburban route from Chengdu (low altitude, no altitude sickness), and a grassland route from Beijing (Zhangbei Grassland and Ulan Butong, about 3 hours to the scenic area). It is recommended to check water tank levels and tire pressure before departure. The routes cater to different traveler categories: beginners, families with children and elderly, and experienced drivers.
