Would a backpacker stay in a famous hotel?

No. Backpackers, also known as travel companions, refer to people who travel around in groups or alone, that is, people who carry backpacks on long-distance self-guided trips. Nowadays, they are mainly people who seek excitement in groups such as mountain climbing, hiking, and exploring. Mainly, the purpose is to understand the world, understand oneself, challenge limits, etc. through travel. [1]

Travelers generally like to travel together, and some prepare tents and sleeping bags to sleep in the wilderness in the mountains. Another way of saying it is that it comes from the homophonic pronunciation of "tourist", which means traveling friend. In Taiwan, they are often called self-guided travel players or self-guided tourists, while in Hong Kong, they are called backpackers.

Backpackers advocate spending the least money, walking the farthest way, and seeing scenery that is difficult for others to see. The means of implementation is self-help, which is an experience that runs through the entire journey. At the beginning, you only know a rough destination and you need to find information, plan the route, purchase equipment, and estimate the travel time by yourself. Calculate the little money you have, how much you will spend tomorrow, etc. When backpackers travel, they don’t just go somewhere to see the scenery. The journey itself is an important experience. Trains, cars, donkey carts, hotels and cart shops, clear mountains and green waters, solitary smoke in the desert, prosperous cities in the wilderness, ancient roads to the west wind highway, drunkenness and singing, dining and sleeping in the open, etc. The pain and joy of travel are all self-knowledge. "Moving the boat to Yanzhu, the guests are worried about the new arrival at dusk. The trees are low in the wild sky, and the moon is clear on the river near people." This poem reflects the complex thoughts of many travelers.

The development of backpackers has become more and more influential in society and attracted more and more attention. More and more people are joining the backpacker clan, and more and more people are joining the backpacker community. Businesses began to turn their attention to backpackers.
