The two all-new tours are Beyond the Great Wall and the Essence of China. Both tours have been designed to explore the very best of this land of great contrasts, from high-tech cities to time forgotten rural villages, all enjoyed from the comfort of a four berth motorhome.

The Beyond the Great Wall tour, which runs in September 2020 and 2021, lasts 23 days, includes a guided sightseeing tour of Beijing, a trip to the Great Wall of China, the Museum of the Terracotta Army and the Shaolin Temple, plus visits to ten UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Essence of China tour, in April 2021, also lasts 23 days, and its 2,100 -mile itinery takes in the mountain scenery of Yunnan, where the locals still live guided by ancient traditions and beliefs. It includes sightseeing tours of Dali and Lijiang, a trip to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is one of the deepest and most spectacular river canyons in the world, and much more.

Donna Bloy, Product Development and Operations Manager at The Camping and Caravanning Club, said: “China is an exciting destination and the idea of touring the country in a motorhome might sound strange. However, you soon get used to driving on Chinese roads and the motorhomes hired out for these tours feature all the home comforts you’d expect.

“The motorhomes are manufactured in China but feature European design elements on the inside, making them comfy and well-equipped.”

Donna added: “The camping industry is still developing in China, with the majority of campsites located in remote and rural areas away from large cities. This is in response to the needs and wants of Chinese customers who are increasingly looking to take holidays that take them away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

“However, we’re putting our tour members’ right in the heart of the action and they will benefit from the experience of our Tour Escorts, who have themselves have completed this tour previously and developed an understanding of local roads and customs.”
Motorhomes are equipped to a high specification with on-board fixtures and fittings supplied by high-end European brands.

The tours are described as “challenging”, with sometimes large amounts of walking and issues associated with travelling on rural roads.
Motorhomers will stay in car parks overnight, keeping them near the heart of the action. A support vehicle will travel alongside the group at all times, and will be able to organise assistance if needed.
