Yu Sanshui， a 31-year-old digital product engineer in Beijing， spends over 70 percent of his spare time on camping-related activities. He rented a 12-square-meter warehou space in northwestern suburban Beijing as his “ba” and goes there almost every day.
The engineer slash vlogger slash camper originally rented the space to store his extensive camping equipment， which simply cannot fit into his apartment. Since his first camping experience back in 2018， he has spent a total of roughly 150，000 yuan （$23，190） on gear. Every time he goes out camping， he picks up differently pod kits from his ba.

He goes to the ba on weekdays after work to shoot videos evaluating camping gear.

The camping boom
Trapped by the pandemic， many Chine urbanites are turning to glamping as a new pastime. The year 2020 was considered by many to be the making of glamping in China.
It is a sooner-or-later find for urban residents in pursuit of a quick retreat from the concrete and steel jungle， as Yu claimed， and the pandemic just offered a strong push and made the trend develop earlier.
This outdoorsy engineer has been making weekend trips around Beijings downtown since 2009. At the time， he didnt have a car of his own and ud to rent one almost ever
y weekend to indulge in his hobby. He had heard of camping years ago， but only gave it a first go in 2018， together with his wife， in Zhangjiakou， a city that is just a two-hour drive from Beijing.班级工作计划
“Camping， in earlier years， was mostly for tho exploring the rough outdoors， like people trekking through the dert，” Yu told Beijing Review. “The equipment they u is more for surviving than for enjoyment. The image of camping thus was a pretty tough one， far removed from the daily lives of ordinary people.”

Urban explorers， in recent years， have turned their sights to camping as they grew tired of hotelstay travel style. They started spending their money on quality facilities and shared their camping pictures on social media. The idyllic views of tents in a grassland or by a river soon attracted growing public interest in camping. Facilities that allow people to get clo to nature while still able to enjoy the forts of modern luxury have given wings to a novel camping style—glamping.96年现在多大
建设社区 Yu doesnt agree with the opinion that glamping is only a luxury pursuit for the middle-e
group. “It is true that youd better have a car for camping， but you dont have to own a car；
you can rent one， like I did before，” he said. “Renting a car for a weekend will cost you less than 500 yuan （$77.3） and the price for a whole t of basic camping gear is less than 3，000 yuan （$464.1）. The threshold is not high at all.”家庭成员称谓
With flourishing glamping grounds where facilities are ready to u， people just need to purcha a ticket to get in and dont have to buy any further equipment. It is more for new campers who want to get some experience of spending time in the outdoors. As the glamping sites usually also feature guesthous， it is also preferable for families with kids or niors who dont want to spend their nights sleeping in tents， Yu introduced.
Approximately， there are about 60 to 70 such glamping spots around Beijing， and in China by large，the number is over 1，000. “We expect to e much more such campsites pop up this year，” Yu said.
Social and active
Zhang Zheming， a photographer who runs a photo studio in Beijing， got his first taste of camping in June 2019 at a campground in suburban Beijing. It is a very spacious site and campers need to bring their own kits.
“My son was almost 4 years old by then and ready for more outdoor activities，” Zhang said.“The poster of that campground really caught our eye—the kids running around happily in a meadow as the adults are chatting and drinking casually in the tents.
As they didnt have any experience in picking the right equipment， they didnt prepare the canopy， a camping must to shield onelf from strong sunlight.
But this didnt affect their first experience. “My wife and I are more like homebirds. In the past， we only cho to stay at hotels or guesthous while traveling，” he said. “We are very happy to have discovered glamping and it is also a new way of socializing. My son ud to be a shy boy， but now he is more outgoing and active.”
Zhang is also surprid to e how popular glamping has e over the past two years. The first time he went there in 2019， only 500 people joined in. But when he went there for the cond time in 2020， he saw over 5，000 people.
