Overall, Guangzhou is one of the safest cities in the world with excellent public security. Walking at night rarely raises concerns about robbery or theft. However, women should remain cautious. Some Chinese men, particularly those intoxicated, may occasionally cast lecherous stares at attractive women. While most nighttime strolls in China are worry-free, it’s wise to keep a slight distance from heavily built, suspicious-looking men who might pose potential risks—though such incidents remain statistically rare.

Guangzhou is the third modern city in China. There is not so much crimes and sexual harassments when visiting it. It’s not common but maybe there are people staring at you if you dress beautifully, you can just stare back or yell at them, or just walk away.

Even hanging out at midnight by yourself in the city block is safe. There are plenty of 24 hours convenient stores and police stations also available in many places. The local people are mostly helpful and friendly.
