China - Top Spots For Any Backpacker

By Jonny Blair


Any form of adventure is usually exhilarating; it could be a ski trip, a hiking experience or even snorkeling. Other than these however, you could also opt to go for a tour across a country like China. Backpacking in this Republic could be rather interesting especially of you start with big cities like Chongqing.

While in the course of travel, the goal usually is that of experiencing every new aspect of the location in question. One advantage of visiting large cities is that one gets to experience this and more. Such locations normally boast of exciting places and cultures that may teach one a few things.

While in the largest city in the world, a tour would not be properly so called without a visit to the Arhat Temple. Housed in this location is a great number of terracotta Buddhas. An interesting feature about these Buddhas is that they all are said to have achieved enlightenment.

For great views of the city skyline, you will definitely have to make a point of visiting Chaotianmen Park. While at the square you could get an ice cream and even try out a local snack while at it. The goal here is to get the most out of the visit, so you should not be hesitant to try out new things.

It is a fact that this massive city houses the biggest toilet complex in the world. One only has to see the complex to be awed by the magnitude of it. And, it would be really awesome to visit this place and later on brag about the whole experience to friends long after the tour is over.

As a backpacker, you always have to experience both the modern and ancient aspects of a particular region. In this regard, the 18 steps qualify as a must see while on this tour. Strolling up and down these steps will enable you to feel the ancient vibes of the area.

The whole visit would not be complete without a ride across the Yangtze River. Usually, a cable ride would fit in perfectly as a means to cross the river. The bonus here is that the whole ride would only cost you 5RMB and while these rates boost the local tourism sector, it is totally pocket-friendly.

Lastly, your Chinese experience will get an even bigger boost with a visit to Foreigner Street. The Street is a 24-hour theme park just on the fringes of town. While here, you could go to restaurants, attend interesting events or you could opt for a fun ride.
