A flash flood triggered by a short but intense rainstorm in the Shuangshimen scenic area of Gansu province, China, killed 10 people and injured 23 others on July 26. The downpour intensified around 2 p.m., accompanied by hail, causing a rapid rise in water levels in a steep mountain gorge.

Chinese replace hotels with cars: new economic trend in camping and travel
Amid China's economic slowdown and rising travel costs, a growing number of young people are opting for car camping on weekends as a cheaper alternative to foreign trips or hotel stays. This trend has created a new market worth billions of dollars. Electric vehicles with V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) capability allow using the battery as a power source for appliances, while camping mode and large batteries ensure comfortable overnight stays. Manufacturers like BYD, Li Auto, Nio and Xpeng actively promote this concept in their advertising.
World's largest charging infrastructure creates unprecedented trend: Chinese people live in electric vehicles
According to the National Energy Administration (NEA), China had over 21 million EV charging points by Q1 2026, up about 50% year-on-year. This has fueled a 'car camping' trend where owners use EVs as mobile homes, saving on hotels. The IEA reports China accounts for over 65% of global public charging points and over 80% of fast chargers. Automakers like XPeng and BYD add sleep modes and V2L features for cooking and work. The camping accessories market is projected to reach $72 billion by 2030, per iiMedia Research.
