While long-distance travel is not a top choice during the COVID-19 pandemic(新冠病毒大流行), camping has risen as a new travel trend (趋势) for people living in Chinese cities.
A report by online travel website Tongcheng Travel showed that during the recent May Day holiday, camping-related(与露营相关的) searches increased by 117 percent compared with April. Forests and islands were the two most popular location (地点) types.
Ji Nan, 31, from Zhejiang, went camping with her friends in the mountains during the holiday. “It was relaxing,” Ji told China Daily. She said camping is a good way to get closer to nature and enjoy outdoor activities.
The growing popularity has also fueled(刺激) the demand for camping equipment(装备), such as tents, outdoor tables and chairs, picnic mats(垫子) and sleeping bags. Trip, an online travel agency, said page views(网页浏览) for their camping goods on the first day of the May Day holiday rose by 90 percent over the previous (之前的) week, reported Global Times.
However, the demand for campsites is greater than the available supply(供给). “Everywhere is full and there is a tent every several meters,” a tourist surnamed Yun, from Beijing, told Global Times.
Besides, camping isn’t always good for the local environment. In Beijing’s Shuangfeng campsite, some of the land is barren(荒芜的) from too much foot traffic. Trash, like bamboo barbecue(烧烤) sticks and disposable plates (—次性餐盘), could be seen everywhere, reported Xinhua.
The government needs to provide more green space for tourists and call on people to protect the environment while camping, said Song. Yu, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
