Xinjiang beckoning RV lovers

The Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region is attracting more independent travelers this year, with about 2,000 recreational vehicles expecting to take part in a massive RV activity between May and November.

So far, more than 1,000 RV drivers have registered for the event, and the first group will set out in early May, said the general coordinator of the event, Zhai Chunfeng, of the Xinjiang Tourism Association.

This is the second year that the association has organized an RV group traveling event in Xinjiang. Last year, more than 700 RVs from 26 provinces and municipalities took part in the event, which lasted five months.
