Many Chinese adults are amused by the fact that they don’t have to pack their clothes when they do when they wear all of their clothes, much to the amusement of those who use social media on the mainland.

Some people have thought of creative ways to group, such as filling U-shaped pillows with clothing that doubles as a supportive in-flight pillow.

The coat has room for two books and an iPad in its back pocket, which is ideal for both carrying a wide range of cosmetic and beauty items. Even larger size can fit a 16-inch computer.
People online refer to the item of clothing as the “ultimate president passport.”

The proper blending and packing pattern, has sparked a wave of excitement among tourists online, eager to try the hacks for themselves, reported the media newspaper, Vista.
“I’m going to use a fishing vest when I travel next time, it’s even more practical than a backpack”, one person said.
