Safety In China

Safety In China

Compared with many other countries, China is considered one of the safest
countries in the world for personal security. But petty crime has
increased in recent year, specially in and around the major cities.

However, serious crime against foreigners is relatively rare. Petty
crimes such as pick-pocketing and purse snatching occur somewhat
frequently. Specially in crowded areas such as stations, markets,
shopping areas, sightseeing destinations, etc... so it is wise to be
cautious with your personal possession in public place. Following are
some precautions to avoid potential problems:
Do not show off your money in public

Keep enough money for your immediate needs in your pocket, and hide the
rest on your body or leave your backup supply in a safety deposit box at
your hotel

Always keep valuables in a safety deposit box at your hotel instead of
leaving them in your room

Remove any jewelry that may draw a thief's attention before you go out
for strolling

Never wear a bag or purse on your street-side shoulder in order to avoid
becoming a target of the "snatch-and-ride"

Never carry your passport/visa, credit cards, traveler's schedules or
other travel documents in your shoulder bag or bum bag

Ensure that you aware of the values of different local banknotes to avoid
being deceived

Be particularly cautious about your possession in crowded areas such as
local festivals, markets, tourist sites, railway, bus stations, on trains
and buses.

Always let your hotel or guides know where you are on your free days
during your tour.

Respect the custom of the local ethnic groups.

Do not quarrel with anyone during your trip.

Any disputes should be reported to your local guides for resolution.

Avoid Traveling in any areas or sites that are not open to foreigners.

Do not voice publicly any opinions contrary to China's laws and code of
ethics and morals.
