If you do not have time to buy equipment and plan a trip for traditional camping, glamping activity might be a better choice. Glamping is a portmanteau of "glamorous" and "camping" and describes a style of camping with amenities and, in some cases, resort-style services not usually associated with "traditional" camping. Glamping has become particularly popular with 21st-century tourists seeking the luxuries of hotel accommodation alongside "the escapism and adventure recreation of camping".

Recently, glamping has become a big trend for tourists at various tourist destinations, especially after a long time staying home because of the pandemic and restrictions. A glamping site provides all the services and convenience that guests need, and other fun activities such as SUP boarding, BBQ cooking, and partying.

Most of the glamping sites are packed full in the weekends and holiday time, and people are advised to book two weeks earlier. This is the perfect choice to spend your Lunar New Year trip with your loved ones and enjoy the most beautiful natural scenery.
