Case Background
Lijiang has a subtropical humid climate. It is located on a plateau and snow-capped mountains can be seen all year round. The annual temperature difference in Lijiang is small, and the four seasons are not distinct. It is hot in winter and cool in summer. Due to the high altitude of Lijiang, the terrain is high in the north and low in the south, and the mountains and rivers are crisscrossed, so Lijiang has three climates: subtropical, temperate, and cold. Therefore, it is very suitable for the development of tourism. At the same time, the diverse cultural heritage is constantly attracting tourists from all over the world. It is perfect to do river mountain glamping here.
Lijiang is located at the junction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Lijiang has diverse landforms, including snow-capped mountains, meadows and other natural landscapes. Lijiang Old Town, one of the world cultural heritage sites, is located in the middle of the Lijiang dam area. Near the Lijiang city is the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain with a main peak of 5,596 meters above sea level. The following are some of the more famous attractions in Lijiang:
- Dabaozhi Palace
- Glass Hall
- Yingpan Village Tombs
- Baoshan Stone City
- Heilongtan Ancient Buildings
- Jinlong Bridge
- Dajue Palace Murals
- Lijiang Puji Temple
- Guanyin Pavilion Stone Sculptures
- Jinsha River Rock Paintings
The Charm of River Mountain Glamping
Dongba Valley is located in Baisha Town, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City. The site for river glamping is here. Dongba Valley is famous for its unique Dongba culture. In Dongba Valley, exquisite handicrafts can be seen everywhere. Dongba Valley also has residents of the Lisu, Taliu, Pumi, Mosuo, and Tibetan ethnic groups. Each ethnic group has its own characteristics.
Dongba Valley is located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain in Yunnan, 15 kilometers away from the ancient city of Lijiang. It is a natural ecological canyon. The scenic area makes full use of the topography of the Numei Le Grand Canyon, combining the Naxi ancient music, the ancient tea-horse road culture, rock climbing, and zip lines that are quite characteristic of Lijiang. So while glamping on the river, you can not only feel the rich culture, but also enjoy the natural beauty.
Explore the Beauty of Cocoon Tent
The cocoon tent, with its unique design concept, is cleverly embedded on the banks of the Dongba Valley, communicating with the surrounding forests.
Design Inspiration Comes From Nature
A cocoon tent is designed in the shape of a silk cocoon in nature. By the gurgling river and at the foot of the mountain, it embraces the surrounding environment with soft curves. It can perfectly integrate into the natural environment of Dongba Valley.
Waterproof Design
In order to adapt to the changing climate, the cocoon tent uses high-quality PVC tarpaulin as the outer layer protection. The PVC coating gives the fabric wear resistance and anti-aging properties. The smooth surface is not easy to stain. These characteristics ensure that it is still strong and durable in the outdoor environment for a long time.
Deck Design
Taking into account the particularity of the riverside soil, the deck is used to raise the tent. Lifting the tent support off the ground effectively avoids the moisture invasion brought by the wet soil. This can prevent the internal furniture from getting damp and moldy. The adjustable deck also plays a leveling role, ensuring the correct and safe erection of the tent.
Environmental Sustainability
The tent uses a recyclable metal frame. The lightweight structure also ensures corrosion resistance and stability. Adhering to the green concept, Glitzcamp designs products with a service life of up to 15 years, reducing waste of resources. By practicing green environmental protection, we can achieve true eco-tourism.
River Mountain Glamping Construction Challenges
River mountain glamping provides a beautiful place for camping, but the construction challenges behind it should not be underestimated.
Large Temperature Difference Between Day and Night
The huge temperature difference between day and night in the mountains has become the primary problem that must be solved in the design. Glitzcamp has put a lot of effort into the design of the tent and used high-tech insulation sheets. It is light, warm, and can effectively isolate the cold outside. Regardless of snow or rain outside, the inside of the tent is still a warm and comfortable little world.
High Humidity Near the River
The humidity near the river is high, and ordinary fabrics are very easy to mold. The tent uses a special anti-mold treatment process. Insulation sheets are used for the inner layer and PVC tarpaulin is used for the outer layer. When producing PVC tarpaulin, mildew inhibitors and other antibacterial additives are deliberately added. These compounds can inhibit the acquisition of nutrients needed for mold growth, thereby preventing the reproduction of microorganisms. The surface will also be specially treated to form a protective film. Therefore, it is guaranteed that there will be no mold when glamping the river.
Transportation Obstacles
Faced with rugged mountain roads and narrow passages, traditional large-scale building materials are difficult to transport in place. All components of the cocoon tent can be pre-assembled in the factory and then disassembled into smaller units for transportation. After arriving at the site, the personnel can quickly splice them together, which greatly reduces the difficulty of transportation.
Difficulty in On-site Assembly
The complex terrain makes on-site assembly difficult. Therefore, Glitzcamp’s professional technicians recommend that customers use a deck to create a platform for the tent. The deck uses high-strength connectors and stable brackets, which can be stably built even on unstable ground.
Summary
Glitzcamp built a resort at the foot of the mountain in Lijiang, Yunnan through communication and cooperation between professionals and customers. Advanced technology and professional knowledge solve one problem after another. If you also want to build a river mountain glamping site, you can contact Glitzcamp to build it.
