Is Shanghai Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Family travel

One of my favorite cities in China! Very international (lots of English-speakers especially) and always a lot to do here. Super safe for solo female travelers too. If you’re looking to shop, Shanghai has amazing boutiques + fashion scene. Food is delicious as well!

I lived in Shanghai before and last year I took my parents there. Really you will love it. Amaizing technology, great transportation system, good shopping and best restaurants either western or Chinese options. Just avoid CNY and October Chinese holidays

Shanghai is overall safe. the night life is so fun and interesting. can’t recommend a hotel or restaurant, mostly stayed with a local friends. worth to visit just to meet new people and get the vibe of the city

Its pretty safe traveling in Shanghai, or most big cities in China. In Shanghai, i went to see a football game, went to Disneyland, went to see an opera, and taste some traditional food, beer and coffee. They are all recommended. Shanghai is also known as coffee city in China, if you are interested in Coffee, you should definitely try some. I spent 1k CNY for the flights, 300 for 1 night hotel, the rest of nights I was couch surfing, 500 for Disney land, 300 for opera tickets, 200 for...

It was an amazing experience and it’s really safe to travel as a lady . But make sure you have your translator with you if you can’t speak mandarin. The people are really friendly and easy going . I had countless gifts.

A year ago, I visited Shanghai by myself. It seemed that there was an extraordinary lack of sexual harassment there, which made me feel extremely safe. China has its challenges (mainly language, taxis, and crowds), but public transport is amazing and easy. The food is worth the visit. It's a great place for a solo trip.

I went to Shanghai alone and it was a wonderful, invigorating experience. I treated myself to a hotel instead of a hostel and essentially roamed Shanghai alone for three days according to my own schedule. When I had enough of the city, I did some research online, took a train to Anhui province and climbed a mountain (Huangshan). It was amazing. Sometimes it was frightening (I don't speak Mandarin at all), but I managed to understand it and people were very kind and helpful.

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 .

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 🥺🤎

I have lived in Shanghai for over 20 years and have lived alone for more than 5 years. I think Shanghai is a safe city for women traveling alone. I have never been harassed, and it has generally been safe to go home late at night.

I feel like China is one of the safest countries I’ve ever been to or lived, you can be drunk on your bike home at night or in a taxi and nothing will happen. Me and other girl friends have always felt super safe and have no bad experiences

Great public transport, clean and safe city especially for women or solo travelers. Language barrier can be an issue but a lot of apps available, translating instantly. Definitely need WeChat and AliPay to get around.

I feel very safe in Shanghai. I can tell that the locals feel the same. No one bothers anyone here. There are cameras almost everywhere and police presence at key spots. There are also security checks at metro stations. Even when I walk alone at night, I don’t feel afraid.
