Traveling during the Spring Festival often means struggling to find accommodations, exceeding your budget, or being restricted by booking times, making it hard to keep your itinerary flexible. In such cases, camping can be a great alternative.
Some might be put off by thoughts of stiff sleeping mats, inconvenient washing facilities, or the discomfort of cold or stuffy conditions. But in reality, many operators now offer not just tent campsites but also camper vans equipped with beds, bathrooms, and living areas. All you need to bring are clothes and toiletries for a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

Taiwan currently has over 300 campgrounds, and the Huazhong Leisure Camping Park in Taipei is the island’s first international-standard urban campground. It boasts complete water and electricity facilities, a sewage drainage system, and 24-hour hot and cold shower access, along with rentals for various camping and barbecue gear. Zhang Zhipeng, an advisor to the Republic of China Camping Association, said: “Tokyo, with a population of about 30 million, has only one campground at Kasai Seaside Park in Koto Ward, while Taipei, with a population of around 6 million, has a vast green camping space—that’s truly something to appreciate!” For Taipei residents, Huazhong Leisure Camping Park is a convenient way to enjoy camping, while for visitors from elsewhere, its connections to Taipei’s extensive public transport network make it highly accessible and economical.

Many advanced countries around the world, including Germany, the UK, the US, and Canada… place great emphasis on the joys of camping life. The annual International Camping Congress also reflects the growing demand for higher-quality camping experiences. This form of travel, which will never disappear despite the variety of hotels and homestays, reveals the fundamental human connection with nature. How long has it been since you last went camping? Was it in junior high, high school, or college? Maybe take advantage of this 9-day Lunar New Year holiday to go on a road trip or find a great spot to relax—this is a wonderfully flexible opportunity to connect with nature.
