Is China countryside worth visiting?

中国乡村值得一游吗？

以下是Quora读者的评论

Hell yes!

No matter what country you visit, you must visit the countryside. No major city succeeds without a wealth of rural land around to keep it fed and functioning. Moreover, you should also realize that so many of those now living in the cities grew up on farms or in poorer areas. If you want to understand their work ethic, to understand what drives them, you should go and see where they came from.

If either of those reasons aren’t enough for you, I’d say just go so that you can enjoy the view! Much of the countryside is quite literally a breath of fresh air after being in the cities.

China is a huge, beautiful country. Don’t spend all of your time there cooped up in the cities!

From Western Sichuan:

值得

无论你去哪个国家，你都应当去乡村看看。

没有大量的土地，没有一个大城市能够成功。

此外，你还应该意识到，现在生活在城市里的许多人都是在乡下或贫困地区长大的。

如果你想了解他们的职业道德，想了解他们的动力是什么，你应该去看看他们来自哪里。

如果这些理由对你来说都不够，我想说，你可以去欣赏风景

在城市生活之后，乡村的许多地方确实让人呼吸到了新鲜空气。

中国是一个广袤而美丽的国家。不要老是待在城市里

Unless you speak Chinese and you have no problem with extremely bad infrastructure and you have a trusted Chinese friend to accompany you, then don’t go there.

Chinese countryside is huge and beautiful, but don’t expect anyone to speak English. In many cases, people don’t even speak the standard Chinese (they only speak their regional dialect). Also, China’s infrastructure in the countryside is extremely bad. The subways in Beiing and Shanghai might be better than what New York has, but the roads in rural China are still decades behind the roads in rural America.

除非你会说中文，你可以忍受极其糟糕的基础设施，有一个值得信任的中国朋友陪你，否则不要去乡下。中国的乡村广阔而美丽，但别指望有人会说英语。在很多情况下，人们甚至不会说标准的汉语(他们只说当地方言)。此外，中国农村的基础设施非常差。北京和上海的地铁可能比纽约的好，但中国农村的道路仍比美国农村落后几十年。

Not all are worth visiting. There are some very scenic countryside that are breathtaking. They tend to be either highly touristy or extremely remote. You’ll need a guide for the latter. As for the former these can be found in any tour packages and are very much worth the effort, especially for foreigners who don’t speak Chinese.

并非所有的乡村都值得一游。有一些风景优美的乡村，景色令人叹为观止。它们要么是游客最多的地方，要么是偏远的地方。如果去偏远乡村，你需要一个向导。至于前者，任何旅游套餐都可以，非常值得一去，特别是对那些不会说中文的外国人。

Well, in my view, there are countless rural places worth to visit in China, yet I believe it also depends on what attracts you. Anyway, I'm going to introduce you a few rural places worth to visit in terms of the beauty of nature and history value. I personally been to all of these places, so I'm glad to share them with you.

嗯，在我看来，中国有无数的农村地方值得一游，但我认为这也取决于对你有吸引力的是什么。不管怎样，我要给大家介绍几个乡村的自然美景和历史价值，这些地方值得一去。这些地方我都去过，所以我很高兴能和你们分享。

For a day or two, maybe. A week at most. But hell no I would not live there. Have you been to the Chinese countryside? Dirty, trash everywhere, boring, transportation is a pain in the ass, and the general “quality” of people and things is lower. No thank you, I have experienced life in the countryside in China in bits and pieces, and that was enough. On top of that, one of the pluses of living in a tier-1 city is I don’t have to deal with ignorant peasants screaming “HALLLO” or “LAOWAI” or stop and staring like an alien has descended from space to walk amongst us on a daily basis.

去个一两天，也许吧，最多一个星期。但我不会住在那里。你去过中国农村吗？

肮脏，垃圾无处不在，无聊，交通是一个难题，总体“质量”较低。

我零零碎碎地体验过中国农村的生活，这就足够了。

最重要的是，生活在一线城市的一个好处是，我不必每天面对那些农民，他们尖叫着喊“你好”或“老外”，或者停下来盯着我们看，就像看一个来自太空的外星人一样。

Guangx Province; Karst Peaks. Very beautiful and breath taking. Hunan Zhangjiajie National Park, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia (Gobi desert and steppe land), injiang, Jiangsu, Jiangx and basically all countryside areas can be beautiful.

广西：喀斯特地貌，非常漂亮，令人惊叹。湖南张家界国家公园，四川，内蒙古(戈壁沙漠和草原)，新 疆，江苏，江西，基本所有农村地区都很美。

If you have the opportunity to go then I would highly recommend it! With all the nonsense being spoken about the Chinese it will wake you up to the truth about this country and it’s people! Because China is nothing like what you are led to believe. So it is a great opportunity.

Although the big cities like Beiing and Shanghai are wonderful, do try to get out to the smaller areas like villages. It will be a fantastic experience!

I hope you make the trip!!

如果你有机会去，我强烈推荐

很很多关于中国人的胡言乱语，去一趟让你看到关于这个国家和人民的真相！

中国根本不是你所认为的那样。所以这是一个很好的机会。

虽然像北京和上海这样的大城市很好，但一定要尽量去乡村这样的小地方看看。这将是一次奇妙的经历

我希望你能去
