Many people, when traveling, always pack a large suitcase filled with all sorts of travel essentials—especially women who care about their appearance. Another reason for carrying a suitcase is to maintain a polished look while on the road, so they bring plenty of spare clothes. But here’s the question: why do Chinese travelers prefer “dragging suitcases,” while foreigners tend to favor backpacks? The answer is simple.
For foreigners, traveling typically means carrying a backpack, and they rarely retrace their steps. If there’s no hotel or guesthouse, they’ll even pitch a tent and sleep on the ground. When a supermarket is nearby, they’ll grab some food to stave off hunger; if not, they’ll grill outdoors. For Chinese tourists, this kind of travel can be somewhat risky.
Chinese people tend to think in a rather traditional way, so whenever we arrive in an unfamiliar place, we always make it a habit to find lodging, stow our luggage, and get everything ready before heading out to enjoy the sights. This is also part of the Chinese approach to travel, which is why travelers often set off with bags and bundles of all sizes.
Of course, as traveling becomes increasingly complicated, many people are coming to see luggage as a burden. After all, the point of going out is to unwind, so traveling light is the best approach. That said, it does require some time to adjust, since our mindset and daily habits aren’t easy to change.
