China - Why It Is Important

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.

It is always important to have some form of guide during such a tour. Going at it without such an item could turn out to be disastrous. The following are a few spots that you have to make a point of visiting while in Chongqing city.

The Arhat Temple is a must see when in this massive city. This temple houses a number of terracotta Arhats. Basically, these are Buddhas that that attained enlightenment. One big advantage of visiting this place is that it is not too expensive.

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.

One very interesting feature of the entire city if the largest toilet complex it houses. Supposedly, it is the biggest of its kind in the whole world. Plus, it would be fun to later on go home and recount to your buddies that you experienced firsthand the largest loo in the world.

Your goal as an international backpacker should be to experience every old and new aspect of the location. This means that you may just have to visit the 18 steps in the ancient part of the town. The views here are guaranteed to blow your mind away.

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.
