Features: Nowadays, hiking on mountain roads, basking in the sun, and experiencing the bumps are no longer the privilege of the poor. On the contrary, for many city dwellers, this is an enjoyment that requires spending money to obtain. When villagers swarm to the city to work and earn money in pursuit of modern civilization, city dwellers, instead, swarm out to relax and travel, breathe fresh air, and seek the best choice for free, self-guided travel. Self-guided travel is also known as backpacking, which originated in developed countries. In English, it is called "backpacker's travel" or "budget travel," meaning backpacking, a cost-effective way to travel. Abroad, it was originally the desire of young people who longed to embrace nature and enjoy the joy of travel but could not afford expensive expenses. They would carry backpacks taller than their heads and travel around. To visit more places, they would never spend money lightly, even seeking to spend the night at airports or train stations. They would take hitchhikes, stay in hostels, bargain with people, and also enjoy the unrestrained joy. Later, urban dwellers with some financial resources also chose this way. The noisy urban environment, the tense urban life, and the fierce competitive pressure make people yearn for a leisurely and relaxing time to regulate. The tourism economy has also become a notable phenomenon. People travel in groups, and everyone goes out with a good mood, but the process of traveling cannot be avoided. If any link is not handled well, it may ruin your wonderful plan. Ms. Xiong Wei Xian in this book has traveled all over China with a backpack and has unique experience in self-guided travel. Although this "Self-Guided Travel Handbook" cannot solve all your problems, carrying it with you and flipping through it from time to time can help you solve immediate difficulties. When you are on the road, it is always better to be prepared for multiple scenarios. I wish you a happy journey!
