Boondocking at Zhi Xing Hotel parking
We planned to stay at JinJiangGou camping for another night and take more photos of it. But at 05:00 in the morning, my daughter started to vomit heavily, and she got a fever going up.
As there was no pharmacy or hospital in the village (2 hours drive to the nearest), we decided to leave the Jin Jiang Gou camping and head for the nearby town with a hospital.
I don’t remember what hospital we found on the mobile, but we needed to drive to Xincheng Residential District and Arxan town. We found a pharmacy, but we could not buy any of the items recommended by the doctor as there are restrictions due to the Covid situation. Even basic medication for diarrhoea needs to have a doctor’s prescription.
After some mobile consultation with our insurance medical assistant, we decided to stay put and wait to see. We had some medication with Probiotics and fever-lowering + a lot to drink. If it gets worse, no matter what, we will head to the hospital. Luckily, the vomiting and fever settled, and she felt well. I think it must have been some food poisoning. When travelling, we always have a couple of first aid kits and a big box of basic medicine packed. Luckily, the fever went down, and the vomiting stopped.
Suddenly on the right side, many RVs and caravans are parked in a parking lot.
While driving to Arxan, suddenly, on the right side, we saw many RVs and caravans parked and decided to make a U-turn to check it out.
Maybe 30 RVs and caravans had made the camp at the empty Zhi Xing Hotel (Zhixing Grand Hotel) parking lot, and we decided to stay for a short period.

Great caravan community with many new friends
This was a great community. Everybody shared their ideas and also showed some innovative upgrades to their cars. Almost all caravans were imported, and you can see the difference in design and quality. Of course, there is also a price difference.
