Travel Tip Backpacking China: Hitchhiking to Hidden Temples & Stunning Nature - Menno Ros
After an adventurous hitchhike, I arrived at the breathtaking Huanglong National Park, known for its stunning high-altitude blue lakes. On the way, I discovered the hidden gem of Xiaoxitian Gamisi (小西天尕咪寺), a beautiful temple tucked away in the mountains. This travel vlog captures the beauty of China's landscapes, the warmth of its people, and the joy of sharing local music and food. Join me on this unforgettable adventure in China!
My name is Menno Ros, i had the dream to make a worldtrip. I did everything i could to reach that dream. Now i am backpacking solo and live my dream! I follow my feelings and get in connection with beautiful traditions and cultures using hitchhiking. While i travel on a buget i don't need to think about that since local people showed me there traditions and culture and often offer me local food or a sleepingplace. I did travel to countrys like; Tajikistan, China, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan and India. I share my travel with you witch includes a lot of adventure during hiking, connecting, exploring new places with local traditions.

    I'm a Chinese. and I've never been there. I watched your video and know a lot about the town, very interesting. Thank you. ps. Amap supports English navigation. It has a rich voice broadcasting system, which is convenient for users to use when traveling. You can open the Settings and select the language as English. The specific step is to enter the Autonavi navigation software, select the Settings on the lower right, select "Language selection", its English name is "Language", and then switch to English.

    Very interesting video! There are very few hitchhikers in China, mainly for several reasons. First of all, China has a well-developed and cheap public transportation system in most areas, so most people don't like to bother others. The second reason is to prevent the operation of illegal taxis. There are laws in China that prohibit unregistered vehicles from charging fees to prevent accidents and crimes. Therefore, some managers will be punished for illegally charging vehicles on urban roads, and many drivers will not randomly pull strange passengers on urban roads for fear of misunderstanding. Another is that something happened a few years ago, there was a car carrying strangers after an accident because only the purchase of basic insurance occurred a very troublesome lawsuit and so on! As for the Chinese police, you can rely on them. The Chinese people call them people's police, whose purpose is to serve the people. We all say that if there is any difficulty in finding the police, they will do their best to ensure everyone's safety. That's why we feel so safe and happy when we meet the police. Especially in the relatively sparsely populated areas of western China, you need to pay more attention to safety, because there are many uninhabited areas and deserts, and some places can be infested with wild animals or poor cell phone reception, which is why many Chinese people buy Huawei satellite phones before traveling to the west. Wish you a smooth and safe trip!😊

    12:18 - For some context, some hotels in China can’t take foreign guests because they need a special license. I was once turned away at Atour because of this. It’s not about being unwelcome. They just don’t have the required license or system to handle foreign ID documents.

    you're honestly such a disrespectful, spoiled foreigner. The fact that the Chinese police are literally bending over backwards to do everything possible in their personal power to honour you as their guest and to ensure your safety and do what they think is helping you the most. Just because you don't want to help and want a "pure" experience, doesn't mean that you should complain or talk down onto the Chinese police like that. You know damn well ahead of time as a foreigner in that country that you're going to have those kind of interactions if you wanted to be left alone in nature, come back to Canada or America and go on a road trip. shake my head

      Do I think you're being too sensitive? Anyone who is used to the style of Western police may be opposed to foreign police, but you are right, Chinese police are different from Western police, they are the people's police that we trust and rely on, and will do their best to help us and serve us, you try your best to tell him, he will gradually realize. Chinese police don't wear guns, and if you are a foreigner, you need to have a special foreign affairs police contact, which will be more work for them, and they are not troublemakers like Western police.

    FYI: police in China are mostly to help, especially when you are foreigner. Also hitchhiking is not really a thing in China, especially in remote area near Tibet. As you said it yourselves, the next village is 100 kms away. Walking 100kms could take whole day. And if anything happens to you in such a remote area, it could spell disaster for you. And the police will be responsible for your safety. Also: most Chinese people are very hospitable to foreigners. Especially eastern part of China. Tip: ask a local to write chinese for you that you are hitchhiking.
