Megarally comes to China this summer

The annual rally of the 80-year-old International Federation of Camping and Caravanning will make its first appearance in China from May 30 to June 8.

Dubbed "the Olympics of camping and caravanning", the huge 10-day gathering for outdoor and RV enthusiasts sponsored by the Belgium-based Federation International de Camping, Caravanning et de Autocaravaning, will be held at a campsite in Yanqing county, close to the well-known tourist attractions of Badaling Great Wall and Longqing Gorge.

RV activists from around the world can either plant their their own recreational vehicles for a few days or rent a vehicle as they fire up their barbecues or visit the wall and gorge.
