🇨🇳 Entdecke China - 17 Tage Backpacking Trip durch Zentralchina 🏮
🇨🇳 Entdecke China - 17 Tage Backpacking Trip durch Zentralchina 🏮
Pack deinen Rucksack und komm mit auf einen Trip durch eines der spektakulärsten Länder der Welt, China 🇨🇳. Unsere China Backpacking Reise führt uns in 17 Tagen zu einigen der absolut sehenswertesten Highlights in China. Unsere Reise startet in der 3. größten Stadt der Welt, Shanghai, führt uns entlang des Jangtse Rivers immer weiter ins Landesinnere zu einer der spektakulärsten Städte der Welt (Chongqing) und endet mit einem Besuch der jahrtausendealten Terracotta Armee im 2800km entfernten Xi'an. Unterwegs werden wir auf unserer China Backpacking Reise die krassen Kontraste zwischen super modernen Großstädten, alten kleinen Kanaldörfern und unfassbaren Naturwundern kennenlernen. Unsere Route: Shanghai 🏙️ -> Xitang 🏮 -> Hangzouh 🚣🏻‍♀️ -> Nanjing 🏞️ -> Zhangjiajie 🌄-> Chongqing 🏙️ -> Xi'an 🏯✈️ Schau dir alle Details auf [Joinmytrip](https://jmt.li/UHWMed)[ ](https://jmt.li/sR4dnt)an und sichere dir deinen Platz auf dieser einzigartigen China Rundreise. *Hey!* *Ich bin Timo 👋 Ich reise viel und freue mich immer, neue Leute kennenzulernen. Ich bin ein leidenschaftlicher Frugalist und versuche, ein möglichst nachhaltiges Leben zu führen. 🫶🌏* *Nach vielen Jahren in Köln, Berlin & Leipzig hat es mich 2024 dauerhaft ins Ausland gezogen. Aus Bangkok heraus bereise ich nun viele Orte und Länder in Südostasien und freue mich wenn ich Travelbuddies finde, die mich auf meinen Reisen begleiten wollen :)* \*\*\* ℹ️ OVERVIEW: **Reisezeitraum:** **09.05.2026 - 25.05.2026** **Start**: Shanghai, China **Ende**: Xi'An, China (Optional auch Ende in Peking) **Reisteilnehmer:** Timo - Tripleader 🙋🏼‍♂🇩🇪 Nenad - Tripmate 🙋🏻🇷🇸 David - Tripmate 🙋🏻🇩🇪 **Tag 1-3: Ankunft in Shanghai** 🏙️🏯 Unsere Reise beginnt in Shanghai, die größte Stadt Chinas und die 3. größte Stadt der Welt. Im Vergleich zu anderen Megastädten in China, verbindet Shanghai die Tradition und Moderne auf faszinierende Weise und ist über viele Jahrzehnte gewachsen. Die Stadt beeindruckt mit ihrer spektakulären Skyline, historischen Vierteln und vielfältigen kulinarischen Angeboten. Die Stadt ist zudem vergleichsweise international, was uns den Einstieg in die chinesische Kultur ein bisschen erleichtert. **Tag 3-4: Xitang - Kanalstadt mit Flair 🏮** Von Shanghai geht es am Nachmittag mit dem Bus ins 2h entfernte Xitang. Die Altstadt bietet wunderschön restaurierte Häuser, Brücken und Kanäle die vor allem Abends eine unvergleichbare Stimmung erzeugen. Wir werden hier in einem klassischen Holzhaus übernachten, um die Stadt nach und vor den Tagestouristen in Ruhe genießen zu können und abends ein gemütliches Bier am Kanal trinken zu können. **Tag 5-7: Hangzhou - Entspannung am Westsee 🚣🏻‍♀️** Unser nächster Stopp ist die gesichtsträchtige Provinzhauptstadt Hangzhou. Neben einer schön restaurierten Altstadt und dem berühmten Lingyin Tempel, zieht vor allem der Westsee jährlich zahlreiche Besucher an. Ein Tagesausflug mit dem Fahrrad rund um den Westsee bietet unterwegs auch die Möglichkeit einen Besuch der Longjing Teeplantagen. **Tag 7-9: Nanjing - die ehemalige Hauptstadt Chinas 🏞️** Weiter geht es in die noch bedeutendere Stadt Nanjing am Jangtse Fluss. Während der Ming Dynastie war Nanjing das Zentrum Chinas und beeindruckt auch heute noch mit einer der größten Stadtmauern der Welt, alten Tempelanlagen und dem wunderschönen Xuanwuhu Park. Ein riesiger See mit Gärten, Brücken und ruhigen Ufern mit Ausblick auf die riesige historische Stadtmauer. **Tag 9-12: Zhangjiajie - Aufbruch nach Pandora ⛰️** In Zhangjiajie erwartet uns eine der spektakulärsten Naturlandschaften dieser Welt. So spektakulär das James Cameron die Felsenlandschaft von Zhangjiajie als Vorlage für seine Avatar Filme nutzte. Wir werden 2 volle Wandertage haben um, die Weiten des riesiegen Nationalparks erkunden zu können und uns von der Schönheit der teilweise 300m hohen freien Felsformationen, in die Welt von Avatar ziehen zu lassen. **Tag 12-15: Chongqing - Die beeindruckendste Skyline der Welt 🌉** Auch wenn Chongqing inzwischen kein absoluter Geheimtipp mehr ist, sind ausländische Besucher immer noch die absolute Ausnahme in dieser 22 Millionen Einwohner Stadt. Dabei setzt die Stadt mit Ihrer Geografie, der Architektur, der atemberaubenden Skyline und der scharfen HotPot Küche, selbst für China neue Maßstäbe. **Tag 15-17: Xi'An - Die Terrakotta Armee 🏺** Der letzte Stopp unserer China Backpacking Reise führt uns nach Xi'an, eine der ältesten Städte Chinas. Neben der historischen Altstadt ist Xi'An weltweit vor allem für die weltberühmten Terrakotta-Armee bekannt. Die knapp 8000 lebensgroßen Kriegerfiguren aus Ton, sind ein absolutes Highlight und gibt uns nach all den modernen Megacitys nochmal einen tiefen Einblick in die antike chinesische Geschichte. ***Optional: Tag 17-19 - Peking*** Ich werde von Xi'An zurück nach Bangkok fliegen, aber ein Teil der Reisegruppe wird von Xi'An noch weiter nach Peking fahren und nach 2 Tagen von dort zurückfliegen. Gerne unterstütze ich bei der Planung und der Buchung. \*\*\* **Was kannst du auf dieser Reise erwarten?** ➕ Entdecke eines der exotischsten Reiseländer dieser Welt 🎒🇨🇳 ➕ Perfekter Mix aus modernen Megacitys, Natur, Kultur und traditionellen Dörfern. 🏙️🏛️🏞️ ➕ Eine coole Reisegruppe, mit maximal 6 Leuten 👦🏻👩🏽👩🏻👱🏻‍♀️🧔🏻👧🏾 ➕ Erkunde die Koloniale Geschichte Chinas in Shanghai 🏦 ➕ Genieße Abends die entspannte Atmosphäre in Xitang 🏮 ➕ Alte Geschichte und Kultur in Hangzhou, Nanjing und Xi'An erleben 🏯 ➕ Pandora wartet auf dich - bestaune die Avatar Berge von Zhangjiajie 🌄 ➕ Staune über die spektakuläre Drohnen & Lichtershow in Chongqing 🎆 ➕ Teste die Sichuan Schärfe und stell dich den 8000 Kriegern der Terrakotta Armee 🥷 ➕ Genieße echtes chinesisches Streetfood und vegetarisches all you can eat Buffet 🍜 **Was ist im Reisepreis enthalten?** ✅ Alle Transfers (Bus, Metro, Train, Taxi, Föhre) ✅ Alle Hochgeschwindigkeitszüge zwischen den Städten ✅ Unterkünfte (16 Nächte in geteilten Zweibettzimmern) ✅ Eintrittsgeld Propaganda Museum - Shanghai ✅ Organisation Free Walking tour - Shanghai ✅ Eintrittsgeld Stadtmauer - Nanjing ✅ Eintrittsgeld Tempelanlage - Chongqing ✅ 1x Veggi all you can eat buffet - Hangzhou ✅ Kostenlose eSIM card (1GB pro Tag) ✅ Komplette Planung, Organisation und Management (Vor & während der Reise) ✅ 24/7 Customer Service and Support by joinmytrip.com **Was ist nicht im Reisepreis enthalten?** ❌ Internationale Flüge nach Shanghai und ab Xi'An ❌ Tägliche Verpflegung, Snacks, Essen und Drinks (ca. 5€-15€ pro Tag) ❌ Upgrade auf Einzelzimmer für 15€ pro Nacht (except in Shanghai) ❌ Alle Eintrittsgelder und Gebühren für Attraktionen und Sehenswürdigen die nicht aufgezählt sind (✅) ❌ Alles was sonst nicht explizit aufgelistet wurde oder mit ❌ markiert wurde **[Reserviere dir jetzt einen Platz auf JoinMyTrip.com](https://jmt.li/UHWMed)** **oder sende mir eine Meetup Nachricht.** Nicht die richtige Reise für dich?
