Introduction: New Demands Driven by the Rise of Self-Driving and RV Travel
Located at the southern foot of Qingdao’s scenic Laoshan Mountain, Liuqinghe Parking Lot serves as both a key transportation hub for major attractions such as Jufeng and Taiqing and the first stop for visitors heading to the city’s coastline. As self-driving tourism and RV travel continue to grow in popularity, this high-traffic area faces new expectations: providing reliable water and power services that enhance safety, comfort, and the overall travel experience for modern travelers.
Understandingthe Need: Smart Infrastructure as a Service Upgrade
With the increasing number of RVs entering the parking lot, the operations team recognized that traditional parking services were no longer sufficient. Stable, safe, and easy-to-use water and power access has become essential for improving visitor satisfaction and strengthening the site’s competitiveness.
After careful evaluation and comparison, Liuqinghe Parking Lot partnered with Jiya Intelligent, selecting the GRWE1002020D-R-A integrated water and power pedestal to support the smart upgrade of scenic-area services.
The Solution: Jiya Intelligent’s Integrated Water & Power Pedestal
The GRWE1002020D-R-A stands out for its practicality, durability, and user-centric design:
Durable and Considerate Design
Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, the pedestal is approximately one meter tall and engineered to withstand changing outdoor weather conditions. Its sleek silver finish complements the surrounding landscape, while the integrated 3W LED light at the top provides safe, comfortable illumination for nighttime use.
Integrated Functions for Higher Efficiency
Each unit integrates water and power services in a single station, equipped with two national-standard sockets and two industrial sockets to support a wide range of devices. In addition, two independent water faucets enable RV users to refill water and clean their vehicles simultaneously, significantly improving service efficiency.
Safety and Reliability
Built-in leakage protection ensures the safe operation of both water and electricity systems, offering peace of mind to both operators and users.
Implementation Results: 20 Units Installed, Setting a New Service Standard
In the first phase, 20 Jiya Intelligent integrated water and power pedestals were installed in an orderly layout throughout Liuqinghe Parking Lot. These units now meet the urgent needs of RV travelers while also providing convenient water and power access for general self-driving tourists.
As a result, the parking lot has evolved from a simple parking area into a comprehensive travel supply hub. Whether visitors are preparing to explore Liuqinghe Beach or embark on a climb up Laoshan Mountain, they can recharge their vehicles and equipment with confidence, adding comfort and reliability to their journey.
Global Perspective: A Shared Trend in North America and Europe
The upgrade at Liuqinghe Parking Lot reflects a broader global trend—particularly in North America and Europe, where RV travel infrastructure is well established.
North America: Mature RV Infrastructure
North America boasts the world’s largest RV market, with more than 11 million RV-owning households in the United States alone. National parks, highways, and RV resorts commonly deploy integrated water and power pedestals designed to withstand extreme weather, support multi-standard power connections, and ensure long-term usability. Many rest areas now feature smart systems that allow travelers to check availability in advance, improving efficiency during peak travel seasons.
Europe: Balancing Function and Landscape Protection
In Europe, RV infrastructure emphasizes harmony with the environment. Scenic areas and urban RV hubs use compact, low-impact integrated pedestals that blend seamlessly into natural and cultural environments. Dual-voltage support, water metering, contactless payment, and multilingual interfaces are widely adopted, ensuring both sustainability and accessibility for international travelers.
Conclusion: Toward a Smarter, More Connected Travel Experience
By deploying Jiya Intelligent’s integrated water and power solution, Liuqinghe Parking Lot has achieved a meaningful upgrade—enhancing the visitor experience while improving operational efficiency. This project represents more than just equipment installation; it demonstrates how smart infrastructure can elevate tourism services.
As evidenced globally, smart RV supply hubs are becoming a standard component of modern travel destinations. Looking ahead, Jiya Intelligent remains committed to supporting scenic areas worldwide with reliable, adaptable, and intelligent solutions—whether meeting the demands of extreme climates or preserving sensitive natural landscapes.
By integrating smart energy solutions with tourism infrastructure, Jiya Intelligent continues to power safer, more comfortable, and more connected travel experiences around the world.
