Pan Wenwen is no ordinary toddler. While most kids her age are in kindergarten, Wenwen has already backpacked halfway across of China with her parents.

The family's first stop was Yunnan, and according to Chinese media reports, they were traveling on foot for 15 to 20 kilometres a day. In the beginning, Wenwen would walk part of it and needed to be carried the rest of the way.

Since Wenwen's story went viral, some Chinese netizens have expressed concern for the girl's welfare and argued that she should be in school with her peers instead of traveling.

However, Wenwen's parents maintain that their travels have made their daughter stronger and more independent than girls her age living in the big city.

The Pans intend to take a break from their backpacking in two years' time so that Wenwen can attend primary school.
