BYD Tang EV: spacious interior and external power supply for family road trips

The factory of Qilang RV Equipment Co., Ltd. in Yiyang County, Luoyang, Henan Province, is operating at full capacity due to increasing orders for domestic smart motorhomes. The company reports a steady stream of orders, indicating strong market demand.

A man driving a vehicle worth over 500,000 yuan on an international road trip with his son had his car remotely locked for 30 hours, disabling all smart functions. The manufacturer stated the lock is used to prevent resale or theft and may reoccur when crossing multiple borders.

A tour operator has launched a three-day self-drive tour along the scenic 'Thousand Li of Mountains and Seas' route in Shandong province. The itinerary includes stops at Shijintan Beach in Haiyang, the Naxianghai resort in Weihai, and the Dongpuwan campsite. The tour costs 980 yuan per person and includes two nights' accommodation (tent and camper), two breakfasts and two lunches, and tickets to a sea carnival.

Sales of campers in China reached 7,376 units in 2025, up 85.61% year-on-year, driven by prices between 10,000 and 25,000 USD and relaxed regulations that do not require separate toilets or kitchens. In Guiyang, Guizhou province, a conversion industry cluster is emerging: one local workshop completed over 200 orders in 2025, offering custom solutions at 15–20% lower costs than coastal regions. Provincial authorities have included camper tourism support in their development strategy through 2030.

The article names three locations in China for grassland camping in 2026: the surroundings of Jining District in Ulanqab (a motorhome camp with 18°C and 15 minutes to a tertiary hospital), Gongbaolag Grassland in Taipus Banner (flat terrain and county hospital linkage), and the Ulanbutong Scenic Area (Red Cross station with AED and oxygen equipment). For families with children, Taipusi is recommended; for young couples, Ulanqab; for the elderly, Ulanbutong. The article provides data on costs (100 yuan per day for a motorhome spot in Ulanqab), distances to hospitals, and camp facilities.

The average rental price for motorhomes in China has fallen by 20–30% year-on-year, with orders rising in popular tourist destinations. In Xinjiang and Yunnan, motorhome rentals increased by 50%. The government's 15th Five-Year Plan includes support for motorhome camping, and three cities (Yangzhou, Qingdao, Lanzhou) have been selected as pilot cities for auto consumption reform. Experts caution that buying a motorhome requires careful calculation: using it 30 days a year results in daily costs of about 2,200 yuan, comparable to a five-star hotel room.
