For camping lovers, Shanyang Countryside – a popular "agritainment" resort on 580 Longhang Road in Shanyang Town – offers an option.
It has erected 20 luxury tents in additional to 100 normal tents to meet the increasing demands of "glamping," a combination of "glamorous" and "camping."
A series of activities such as BBQ banquet, bonfire party, outdoor movie, village excursions and camping under the stars are available.
