Is Qingdao safe for solo female travelers?

Qingdao is generally safe for solo female travelers. Violent crime is rare, and the city tends to be peaceful and calm. It's commonplace to see people walking around late at night without any concern. It's always important though to maintain normal World travel precautions such as not walking alone late at night in deserted places and being wary of pickpockets in crowded areas. Furthermore, language might be a barrier as not everyone speaks English, so always have a translator app handy for better communication.

It is China, it is so safe. I can leave all my things here without any worries, and at night I will feel safe, because I know no one will touch me. People here do not dare even to lie, that is why I love China
