Ulanqab (Inner Mongolia) sees a rise in motorhome camping as a way to escape summer heat. In July 2025, the campsite at Jining International Leather City hosts visitors from across China. The campsite opened in late July 2025 and was upgraded in April 2026 with additional water points, toilets, showers, laundry, food stalls, and a WeChat service group. Plans include further expansion and separate zones for camper vans and motorhomes.

On July 7, 2026, about 700 motorhomes gathered at the Yijia RV campsite in the Baili Dujuan Scenic Area, Bijie City, Guizhou Province. The gathering coincides with the minor heat (Xiaoshu) solar term and is part of the local government's summer tourism development initiative.

The article analyzes three popular campsites in the Yangtze River Delta region suitable for families with children. For children aged 3-6, Hongshan Sports Resort is recommended, featuring an amusement park and a petting zoo. For short trips, the Liangxu Street camping cluster in Taizhou is accessible within 30 minutes. For motorhome and wetland experiences, Qinhua Oasis RV Camp is a 4C-certified site. Each location has drawbacks: distance, lack of facilities, or high seasonal prices.

As of July 2026, no production motorhome is equipped with urban Navigate on Autopilot (NOA). Industry sources estimate a technology gap of at least two years before such systems become available. Hybrid pickup-based motorhomes (e.g., Chery Qijie G900 from 250,000 yuan) are considered the best current platform, but systems from Huawei, XPeng, and BYD have not been adapted for larger vehicles. Key challenges include enlarged blind spots, powertrain response delays, and a lack of regulatory framework for L2+ NOA on motorhomes. Users are advised to monitor takeover frequency, ramp success rate, and pedestrian detection performance.
