Overall China is a safe country, and most people you meet will be friendly, honest and trustworthy. However, travel and living conditions are different from your home country, so be alert.
Crime
By and large China is safe, but petty crime is on the increase and tourists are particularly vulnerable. Take precautions and use common sense, particularly at nights,and particularly around the tourists areas and on crowded places like markets.
Try not to carry large amounts of money or obvious symbols of wealth, and keep your wallet or purse out of sight (back pockets are a big no no ).Pickpockets tend to operate in crowded areas, for example the public bus, son in busy areas make sure that you carry your bags where you can see them – for example a backpack ,even a small day pack, in extremely vulnerable. Wallets, mobile phones, cameras, jewelry, and laptops are tempting targets for thieves. Do not flash a wallet around when paying for purchases and carry some loose change for beggars. Be alert of some common scames. Be cautious if somebody approaches you and invite you for a drink at a tea house or bar nearby to “ practice English”. There have been reports of tourist being ripped off in this way. Do not pick up”roll of bills” found on streets .ATM crime is on the rise recently.There are continual reports of ATM scams including using fake ATM’s or othert methods to steal the user’s card .
