When traveling, why do people in China like to drag suitcases while foreigners like backpacks?

The reason for this problem is mainly related to the cultural differences between China and the West, and also related to the characters of China and the West.

Since ancient times, China people have been known for their prudence, which is known all over the world. When traveling, they are afraid that their homes will be unsafe and some valuables will be stolen. They think that personal collection is the safest, so when traveling in China, some documents, cash and other items should be carried with them. There are also some travel clothes, cameras and the like, which I like to take with me.

Besides, compared with foreigners, China people have strong family values. They feel that they have finally gone out and always want to bring something home. If you bring a lot of things, carrying a backpack is definitely not enough. So they will take the trouble to bring a big suitcase, in order to bring some local specialties back to their families.

Foreigners are not like this. Most of them are careless. They don't think valuables at home will be stolen. Indeed, this phenomenon is rare abroad. So they will leave their valuables at home, take only some necessary things and take a trip without any burden and worries.

Moreover, foreigners don't have the strong clan concept of China people. They always put themselves first. Therefore, it is of little use for them to travel with a big suitcase. They don't buy a lot of things for their families like people in China, so they just need to take a travel bag.
