Chongqing In China - Top Sights For Any 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.

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.

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.
