How safe is Beijing?
I have a hijab on and i felt fine walking alone at night when i needed to. Public transport was safe, walking on the streets too felt safe. But still though, avoid walking alone at night anywhere in the world just because it makes sense.
Posted: January 31, 2025you can walk lonely on the street at any time, no robbery, very few theft, havent heard of rape. there maybe beggers just ignore them, homeless people are usually sent back to their home town by police, so its rare too.
Posted: July 13, 2024Very safe city - I’ve been walking at night since teenage life and never had issues. I would recommend solo famale to consider this city as it is safe and easy to get around. Also more people in Beijing speak English than other Chinese regions.
Posted: June 22, 2024Beijing is definitely a safe place to travel and stay. You can go anywhere by public transportation at any time. I really love this city. Because China uses online paying, you don't need to be worried about theft. There are lots of high-educationed people living in Beijing.
Posted: June 17, 2024Beijing is a safe place to travel, but it is still necessary to beware of Chinese men, because most of them lack respect for women. If possible, it would be better to avoid staying with them alone, especially in private places.

Solo travel
Being able to speak Mandarin would reallyyyy help. But if not, i have seen folks survive on Google Translate and VPN. Use Alipay and WeChat Pay for public transport, texi, food, everything really. I use Trip.com for hotels and high speed trains.

Fantastic city, great food, easy to get around, but most of the attractions were very crowded (e.g. Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City, Summer Palace). It's very safe, with cameras literally everywhere.
