Why do you think self-driving travel is so popular?

The biggest advantage of self-driving travel is that you can go whenever you want, and you don’t have to worry about not being able to buy air tickets or train tickets in China. You can save valuable time abroad. Take my trip to Langkawi, Malaysia in December as an example: I flew to Langkawi at 8 am, and the hotel check-in time was at 2 pm. It was unrealistic to carry my suitcase to the scenic spot. , I didn’t have half a day to go to the hotel to store my luggage and then go to the scenic spots. In addition, there is no public transportation in Langkawi. There are four ways to travel: group travel, chartered car, taxi, and renting a car and driving yourself. I rented a car after leaving the airport, put my luggage in the car and went straight for sightseeing. After lunch, I just went to the hotel to check in. The flight back was at 3:30 in the afternoon, and the hotel check-out time was at 12 o'clock. I checked out after breakfast and put my luggage in the car. It was very hassle-free to go directly to the airport after playing.

"The world is so big, I want to see it." Many people have the dream of traveling around the world. In addition to working nine to five, everyone can also have poetry and distant places. Nowadays, more and more people like to travel by car, not only because they can freely arrange their itinerary, but also to better appreciate the scenery along the way!

Personally speaking, I am a person who particularly likes self-driving travel. I can set off with my luggage, family and itinerary.

Before, I drove more than 2,000 kilometers to Guangzhou and Zhuhai, and more than 1,500 kilometers to Liaoyang. The farthest distance was the nearly 8,000 kilometers of Sichuan-Tibet Line, Qinghai-Tibet Line, etc., all by myself. This is Personal preference. Some people don’t like driving very much. They feel that the journey is very tiring and not fun. But for me, there is no such mood and state at all. This idea is probably the same as that of friends who like to drive. .

With a steering wheel in your hand and a place you want to go in your heart, you can arrange your itinerary at will without missing the scenery you want to see. Only in this way can you achieve true freedom of travel and reap the true meaning of travel.

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, more and more people are now willing to choose to drive on their own for their honeymoon, or travel together in a group, which not only creates an atmosphere but also creates different travel memories.

Because only when you drive to some places can you truly see time stirring up art and settling in front of your eyes, and truly feel the strong emotion between you and the scenery. It is a worthwhile trip. This life.

Self-driving tours are very popular, and the advantage of self-driving tours is freedom

First, let’s take a look at some of the mainstream travel methods:

1. Group tours Travel, the most traditional way of travel, is cheap and has a lot of hidden costs. Now more and more people don't like this way of travel. It's too unsatisfactory. They run with tour groups every day and are exhausted.

2. Travel independently, make your own travel routes and book hotels, which is relatively free and not subject to group restrictions.

3. Self-driving tour is a popular way of traveling nowadays. Self-driving tour can also be divided into three types. The first one is to drive your own car to go out and decide the route and hotel. The second type is car travel, which is also the most popular type of self-driving tour at present. All food, accommodation and food are in the car. You can stay wherever you go. This is convenient and free, and is not restricted by the location and time of the hotel. The third type is RV travel. This kind of cost is relatively high. RVs are generally expensive. Rich people will choose this way.

Let’s talk about the most popular self-driving car travel

Why is it so popular? Because everyone has a car now. The only difference is the size and whether it is expensive or cheap. A simple modification will not cost too much money or waste too much resources. People all over the country can do it.

Let me share my experience and thoughts on the self-driving bed truck:

The most important thing for a bed truck is electricity. I designed the 12V 152AH lithium iron phosphate myself. The battery replaced the main battery of my original car. Using this as the main battery does not take up extra space. The battery has a reserved capacity function. When the battery is used up, it can be forced to open and start the engine, so the battery can be used with confidence and you no longer have to worry about battery problems. At present, bed lathes all use the method of adding an auxiliary battery. This is the most convenient and universal method, but it will occupy the space of the bed car. If the wiring is not connected well, there will be safety risks. Everyone must use a bed car when traveling. be safe.

The 12V 152AH lithium iron phosphate battery designed for my lathe

The second most important thing for the lathe is water. I used two 15L folding The bucket, because it is foldable, can save space when not in use. When there is water, it can be filled and kept for later use. When we stay, we try to find a place with a bathroom, so that water is convenient and it is also convenient to go to the toilet. Because our bed truck does not have a large water tank like an RV, we must save water when traveling in our bed truck. You can boil the drinking water in a kettle, or you can bring a 5L bucket of pure water.

The third most important thing about the bed cart is the gift rack, because we all take a lot of things with us when traveling, and the space for things in the car is limited. Installing the gift rack can store a lot more things, and you can put some things that are not commonly used Put your things on it, so you don’t have to move things around when making the bed every day.

The fourth most important thing about a bed cart is how to cook. You can bring an oil stove or a gas stove for cooking. Use a car-mounted rice cooker for cooking. If you have household appliances, you need to connect an inverter. It can only be used if the converter is converted to 220V. Try to use vehicle-mounted DC electrical equipment on the bed and trolley. This saves power and is more convenient.

During this trip, we also encountered a lot of self-driving riders. Most of them were self-driving riders on the Hainan ferry.

Why is self-driving travel so popular? Let me tell you why.

1. With the continuous rapid development of China's economy, people's living standards are gradually improving, and everyone's wallets are getting bigger and bigger, and people will want to experience a more convenient lifestyle. , and buying a car is one of them. Nowadays, many families have bought more or less cars, and their material lives are getting richer and richer. People are beginning to pursue a spiritual lifestyle.

2. Therefore, traveling has become a way of life that people pursue. However, traveling in a group is not very free now and is not as convenient as traveling by car. Therefore, many people choose to drive and travel by car. This is the main reason why self-driving tours are so popular.

3. Self-driving tours are no longer like traveling with a tour group. You don’t have to go to the scenic spots according to the tour guide’s plan. It’s very troublesome and not free. Without the freedom and convenience of driving by yourself, you can go and stop whenever you want, stop wherever you find the scenery beautiful, and play to your heart's content. This kind of unfettered travel is the real travel.

4. Just go and go. There is no time limit for driving by yourself. Self-driving travel eliminates these worries. Drive your own car, bring your loved ones, and have a go-away trip. . Look at the scenery along the way and be carefree. You can go to any place you think has beautiful scenery, enjoy it, and get in the car when you have enough fun.

5. Another advantage of self-driving travel is that you can change your car into a bed cart, bring a change of clothes, pots, pans, and stoves with you, and you can change your itinerary at any time during the trip. , Don’t worry about food and accommodation, you can go anywhere, anytime, wherever you want, completely free without any constraints.

6. You can also appreciate different cultural customs along the way. This is another benefit of self-driving travel. You can go anywhere anytime, anywhere, fully experience the local cultural customs, and have more opportunities to follow along the way. By communicating with different people, you can make friends all over the world and make more friends.

Self-driving travel is likely to become even more popular in the second half of the year after the epidemic.

The reasons are as follows:

Self-driving travel has become popular in recent years. In the past few years, because the number of private cars was relatively small, the way people chose to travel was basically independent travel or group travel.

There are many restrictions on independent travel or group travel. For group tours, the travel company has set the route, time, attractions, etc., and someone has planned everything for you. The only thing you need to do is follow the tour guide. There will also be situations like "getting on the bus to sleep, getting off the bus to pee, and then arriving at the scenic spot and not knowing anything else."

As for free travel, due to limited means of transportation, most of them take planes, trains, buses and other means of transportation, so more people reach cities, counties and other places or relatively mature tourist attractions, while some places that do not have It will be very inconvenient to travel to developed or less famous scenic spots.

Self-driving travel means that you make your own travel route, determine the travel time according to your own time, determine the length of the travel distance according to your own free time, and choose tourist attractions according to your own preferences.

If you want to stay in a place, you can stay there; if you want to leave overnight, you can leave under the stars and the moon; if you don’t even want to stay in a hotel, you can sleep in the car.

You can choose your own accommodation and meals without having to listen to the arrangements of the tour guide who reported the group tour. For the same meal, the tour guide may have spent a lot of money in vain. For self-driving tours, it may be only a few kilometers further than the hotel arranged by the tour guide, and the price will be greatly reduced. You can also look for local specialties according to your own preferences.

Most self-driving tours are organized between friends or relatives. Because the relationship is relatively close, everyone helps and understands each other during the self-driving tour. Some families, because of a self-driving trip, agree with each other to go on a self-driving trip together every year, forming a fixed pattern. Everyone adopted the AA system and agreed on the distribution of expenses in advance. They had a great time, singing and laughing along the way.

Some self-driving travel clubs have also emerged. They have mature routes, experienced team leaders, and certain resources for logistical support. They have also attracted a large number of self-driving travel enthusiasts.

The popularity of private cars has also created a strong demand for self-driving travel. If you want to travel by car, you must have a private car.

Every family that owns a private car has the idea of ????self-driving travel, the dream of traveling thousands of miles, and the plan of leaving as a family happily.

Well, the number of private cars has exceeded 200 million for the first time. This is a huge number, almost an astronomical number, so it is not surprising to see that self-driving travel is very popular.

The development of the Internet and mobile phone navigation, which has grown with 4G, also provide protection for self-driving travel. It will be even more unimaginable with 5G in the future.

In the era before car navigation or mobile phone navigation, there was a map in the car, and the driver was either familiar with the route and took it frequently. Or he knows a lot about maps and can read them.

Now, even if you are map-illiterate, as long as you turn on the mobile phone navigation, a route will be planned for you soon, and you will also have an "electronic dog" to remind you at any time, which is very accurate. Some navigation can even be accurate to 10 meters. It is estimated that as the number of navigation satellites increases and the private market becomes more open, navigation accuracy will become higher and higher and its functions will become more powerful.

The "Every Village Access" project has also opened up the "last mile", and the roads in each natural village have basically been hardened. The further extension of rural roads has also expanded self-driving travel to “rural travel”. Everyone fell in love with "eating farm food" and visiting "original scenery".

Gas stations are not only found in the service areas of highways and national highways, but now there are also gas stations on county roads and rural roads, which greatly facilitates people's travel. At the same time, the mobile phone navigation also has reminders of gas stations and service areas, so you basically don’t have to worry about not filling up with gas.

With the development of the country's economy, the increase in gross national product and the increase in per capita income, it presents a prosperous scene of national peace and security.

Whether in cities, villages, or even remote areas, social security has improved unprecedentedly.

Mobile payment has also been extended to all over the country and to roadside shops. As long as there is a signal, you can pay by mobile phone. You don’t need to carry a lot of cash when traveling, and you don’t have to worry about theft. occur.

Self-driving tours have become popular, thanks to the peace and prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people; thanks to the development of the Internet and the stability of social security, the people live and work in peace and contentment.

In a sense, self-driving tour is a type of self-guided tour. It is different from the previous traditional travel agency-style group tour and is a higher level of tourism.

With the development of China's economy, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and the ownership rate of private cars has increased significantly. Self-driving tours have become particularly popular in recent years.

First of all, self-driving travel reflects the needs of liberalization and individualization. Many people think that planning an itinerary is the most troublesome part of traveling, but I often enjoy it. I think the process of making an itinerary can help you quickly understand the characteristics of a region, so you won’t panic when you actually visit. The more reasonable and detailed the early route planning is, the higher the efficiency will be when traveling. After all, vacations are limited, and it would be a pity to waste time on finding the way. In fact, the itinerary planning of a self-driving tour is much simpler than that of a general tour. You only need to plan the overall route. The specific daily tours can be flexible and changeable. You can stop into a small town for a cup of coffee or drive to a lake according to your own interests. Have lunch on the side.

Secondly, our country has made great progress in transportation, communications and other hardware, which fully meets the conditions for self-driving travel. Nowadays, the country's expressways extend in all directions, national highways have reached county towns across the country, and most rural roads have been hardened, greatly improving traffic conditions. Distances ranging from hundreds of kilometers to a thousand kilometers have been shortened from several days to one day or even a few hours, which has greatly aroused the desire of office workers in the city to use their holidays and retired people to form groups for self-driving travel. Even travelers who are blind can use their mobile phones to navigate to their destinations, use their mobile phones to find local specialties and make hotel reservations on the way. Allow travelers to give full play to their freedom and individuality in terms of food, accommodation, transportation, etc. Other hardware aspects, such as gas stations and service areas, have also been fully developed, providing logistical support for self-driving tours. Especially in the southwest and northwest regions of my country, there is a certain distance between each tourist spot, and the public transportation in the city is relatively poor. Self-driving is the most convenient way to travel. At the same time, the scenery along the way is unique and there are few vehicles. Self-driving travel has a high degree of freedom. You can walk and play as you like, even if you bring a whole family with you.

Once again, the security situation in our country is excellent now. Social security in cities, villages and remote areas (especially Xinjiang) has improved unprecedentedly, providing a solid foundation for self-driving travel.

Finally, self-driving travel has the characteristics of flexibility, selectivity, and self-regulation. It is presented in the form of long and short distance travel, urban periphery, leisure vacation, rural harvest festival, etc. Travel that fully embodies freedom, comfort and individuality provides flexible and convenient conditions for travelers to fully experience various scenic spots, cultural customs, leisure vacations, folk activities, food, harvest festivals and other activities.

The above are the reasons why I think self-driving travel can become popular.

Why do you think self-driving travel is so popular? I like self-driving tours very much. The reason why self-driving tours are so popular is, first of all, freedom. People who like to drive like to drive by themselves and don’t want to sit in someone else’s car because they feel that driving is a kind of enjoyment, especially self-driving tours. You won't feel tired. And most people who like to travel like an unfettered life. If you travel in a group, there will be many restrictions. For example, you must follow the tour guide's instructions on travel time and attractions, and group meals only solve the problem of food and clothing. Accommodation is mostly in suburban or remote areas, and the conditions are very average. Tour groups often come to the hotel to stay in the hotel after midnight, which is very noisy and disturbs sleep. For self-driving tours, you can arrange the itinerary attractions, travel time, meals and hotels according to your own preferences. You can eat, drink and have fun freely. The members of our self-driving tour team are all relatives. We all have driver’s licenses, and two of them have driver’s licenses with A certificate. They are very good at driving, and they are both colleagues and brothers-in-law. During the journey, the two of them were good at cooperating with each other. One was patient and could drive on roads with speed limits, while the other was brave and careful and good at overtaking. Especially when running at night into the city, he had a very good sense of direction. Then there are two gourmets and travel experts in our team. They know all about the beautiful scenery and delicious food in various places. They can’t miss any of the must-see beautiful scenery and must-try food wherever they go. We usually travel by car with three families and six people in one car, which is the most cost-effective way. One time, there were four families with eight people and two cars. The consumption level was relatively high and it was not economical. The car is our own. Before each trip, each family pays 5,000-6,000 yuan according to the budget, and I am responsible for keeping it. Then I pay for gas, tolls, attraction tickets, catering fees, hotel fees, etc. Every consumption is recorded, and the bill is announced in the group. After the trip, the expenses will be shared equally, and any excess will be refunded.

The six of us all like self-driving trips, two to three times a year for five or six years. After the epidemic this year, we will go on self-driving trips in the second half of the year.

Why do you think self-driving travel is so popular? Tell me what you think.

First of all, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the people's pockets are bulging, and they have the foundation for self-driving travel. If you want to drive by yourself, you must have a car. A few years ago or more than ten years ago, it was not easy to own a car. To put it simply, cars are too expensive, and maintaining a car is expensive. You can’t afford to buy one, and you can’t afford to maintain it. Now that the country is developed and the pockets of Chinese people are bulging, buying a car is a very simple matter for most people. Look at the road, there are cars everywhere, look at the community, there are cars everywhere. It reflects that the Chinese people are living a better and richer life. With a car, there is a basis for travel.

A sensible person is curious.

Some people live only one day in their life: morning, noon and night.

Some people live their whole lives constantly seeking novelties and experiences.

When you only see the negative, life gives you pressure, and you only live until morning, noon, and night.

When you face life positively, you will find that the world is so magical, and even the ups and downs will give you an unforgettable experience.

There are nine reasons why self-driving travel is surging like a tide, which are summarized as follows:

1. Material basis: Nowadays, cars have entered thousands of households and are used to live at home. Necessities, the popularity of cars is the necessary material condition for self-driving travel.

2. Population base: China’s rapid economic development over the years has created a huge middle class group with money and leisure. They are financially carefree and relatively have plenty of time. Some retired people can be said to have absolutely plenty of time and are free to leave whenever they want.

3. Ideological basis: The education level of the entire society continues to improve, and more people are willing to go further to experience the magnificent rivers and mountains and experience the rich customs and customs. The ancients said that one can travel to the ends of the earth with a sword. People today say: The world is so big and I want to see it.

Four: Scientific and technological basis: The accurate scientific and technological content of the navigation map provides efficient attraction collection, accommodation arrangements, trip safety assessment and other tedious and unknown matters for self-driving tours, greatly increasing the comfortable and pleasant experience of the journey. .

5. Road foundation: China's high-standard highways, provincial highways, county-level highways, country roads, etc. are not only networked but also interconnected, and you can switch freely on these roads. It can meet both fast long-distance travel and carefree slow walks in the countryside.

6. Service Basics: Nowadays, fast hotels in cities, farmhouses in the countryside, B&Bs in scenic spots and other catering and accommodation services all over urban and rural areas provide comfortable resting space for self-driving tours, making long-distance travel feel like home. A relaxing feeling. Travelers are no longer afraid of the wind, frost, rain, and snow on the journey, and are no longer afraid of the setting sun and the lack of a village or a store.

7. Security foundation: China today can be said to be a peaceful and prosperous age. No matter where you go, social security is adequately guaranteed. When traveling, you don’t have to worry about personal safety being threatened. The world is clear, and you don’t have to worry about bandits, bandits, or shooting incidents. "In Shihao Village at dusk, there are officials who catch people at night" is Lao Du's sentence, right? If the great poet Du Fu had lived in today's era, what kind of famous poems would he have written that will be passed down through the ages?

8. For free travel: Compared with group travel, self-driving travel is more flexible. You can come and go wherever you want. Just like the ancient scholars, they came here to take advantage of the excitement and then left after being exhausted. Completely unconstrained by time and space.

9. For in-depth travel: Self-driving travel can meet the requirements of not being constrained by time and space. You can choose the destination according to your own hobbies. You can stay for three to five days and go for three to five miles. , you can visit ancient temples in the mountains, eat famous food in the town, conduct random interviews in the countryside, wander around in secluded places, and so on!

In today’s world, it is difficult to read thousands of books, but it is still an easy dream to travel thousands of miles. Above the rivers and lakes, if you say let’s go, let’s go!
