Rough budget travel, taking the hard seat on the train and staying in l ü guan.
I quit my job in 2007 to go backpacking across China’s 33 provinces.
That was the first time I had traveled anywhere. Can you tell us a little bit about that trip? What did you learn about you, your country and heritage after such a journey? Here is what she had to say:ġ) Before backpacking India, you traveled to every Chinese province. I was lucky enough to ask Hong Mei a few questions about her book and the state of Chinese travel/backpacking. After her trip, Hong was named the first Chinese woman to backpack the subcontinent of India. By staying clear of the traditional Chinese notion of travel, Hong and Carter made a point to travel rough and venture far off the beaten track, places many Chinese wouldn’t even think about going to. Hong Mei (洪梅 ) is the author of The Further I Walk, the Closer I Get to Me (2014) – a tale of her and her husband’s (photographer Tom Carter) backpacking excursion through India in 2009.
