China’s Winnebago Generation Avoids Beijing Traffic in RVs: Cars

While stuck in traffic on the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway last year, Yin Ximin decided he’d been smart to buy a recreational vehicle.

“Women were so desperate they had their friends or family shield them so they could urinate on the side of the road,” said Yin, 48, who owns an advertising firm in Beijing. “An RV makes long trips less painful. We can lounge around, have drinks, listen to music -- and use the bathroom.”
