China - Top Sights For A Backpacker

By Jonny Blair


Backpacking has always been a great way to experience different cultures and places. Conducting such an activity in China would in fact be a great eye opener to the culture of the Asian people. Before embarking on such a tour however, you have to have a little information about the area.

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.

Within this area is the Arhat temple. In this temple is a number of terracotta Arhats that you may enjoy viewing. A visit here could just help you appreciate more the culture of the Asian people more than any other part of this travel experience.

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.

A visit to the biggest city in the world would not be complete without experiencing the largest toilet complex in the world. During the tour, you should try to make out some time to see this place for yourself. You could also make a point of taking a few pictures to show to your friends back home.

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.

The Foreigner Street located on the edges of the city would also be a great place to see. This location may not be stated in a travel guide but this does not mean it is not worth paying attention to. While here, one may experience Chinese delicacies at nearby restaurants.
