China was a very good country I really liked the food there and the people. It was not much expensive and everything was accessible. But you do feel a little disconnected to the world since you can’t have access to social media

It was a really safe trip. There were police almost everywhere. It was quite difficult understanding them and their maps of the different cities but all the landscapes and attractions were amazing. Also, the food was okay, a bit too spicy sometimes

Overall a great choice for women, even as a foreign women people will not take pictures or bother you like in other Chinese cities where unfelt very uncomfortable. Chengdu is safe, affordable and a good time

I have been travelling around China for the last 10 years both on my own and with friends. As long as you have internet and the apps you will be fine. Most place don’t speak a lot of English but they are set up for tourists especially the main tourist attractions. Public transport is easy and safe.

Shanghai was amazing! I stayed for 5 days but wish I stayed longer. Everything was so cheap and the transport system (metro) made it so that you could anywhere very quickly since there's metros stops everywhere connected in a grid. The food is very cheap too but lots of overpriced tourist traps. Overall I felt safe but being a non-aisan women will definitely get you a lot of looks from men. People also spat on the street which was very shocking. The people are very friendly, especially students. Customer service is strange, not that friendly but still helpful.

I spend around 20 days travelling around different city in China: I spent some days alone and some with friends but in both case I felt really safe; also even if speaking English is pretty rare for the locals, everyone was helpful and tried to help using the translator

Shanghai is extremely safe . Roads are clean , there is police and cameras everywhere and whatever happens there is always a police station nearby. The good thing is , the cameras don’t make you feel like you lack privacy , but make you feel even more safe .

You can walk around the city even in the midnight, you can find the food you want anytime, police officers also can help you anytime you need them, just call them and describe what’s happening. People are warm hearted to help you too.

I never feel safe and sound walking around at night before until I live here in Shanghai, the place are so safe and always have a new spot to hang out. I can wear whatever I want without the judgement of people because everyone here can dress however they want. Overall I love this place so much even though I have very few friend 🥺🤎

About me
Hello, my name is Nora. I come from a city near Hong Kong. I just finished my master's degree in China, so I came to Europe alone for a graduation trip. I am a very outgoing and talkative girl, and I love keep everything to be clean. My first stop is in the United Kingdom, mainly in London; the second stop is Spain, mainly in Barcelona and Madrid; and the third stop is France, mainly in Paris. I am very keen on experiencing the culture of different countries, and I also like to make friends from different countries. I will also be very happy to share my life in China with you, cook chinese food for you, we can talk about anything too. By the way, I love dogs and cats so much. Since I started my graduation trip, I have experienced many things that I have never experienced before. The people I met along the way are very friendly, so I am a very lucky girl, if you want to come to China in the future, I can be your guide, because I have been to many cities in China.I look forward to having more wonderful experiences with you😊.
