Most tourists traveling to China go on a packaged tour because of the difficulty of travel in the country. It’s a whole different world, even for the most experienced of travelers, but if you are an indie traveler who likes to challenge themselves, then consider coming to China for a more extended trip. If you are planning a trip around the world, adding China would really give you the time to explore this fascinating destination.
If you are coming to China on an extended trip, then you will probably end up in Shanghai at some point. Adding Shanghai to your round the world trip itinerary is a great idea as it surely is a unique destination. The great thing about Shanghai is that it caters to every budget. If you have a bit higher of a budget, you’ll have options galore, from nice hotels rooms to high roller suites. But if you are more of a backpacker, you’ll be taken care of as well with hostels and cheap eats around every corner.
If you like indie travel experiences, then you’ve come to the right place as it doesn’t get more indie than China. You’ll be challenged each day. Hell, you’ll be challenged each time you step out the door of your hotel or hostel, as traveling in this country takes some getting used to. But if you have the patience and enjoy being thrown into sometimes uncomfortable scenarios, then this is the place for you.
