Is Chongqing safe for solo female travelers?

Chongqing is generally safe for solo female travelers. As in any megacity, usual precautions, such as avoiding less crowded areas at night and keeping a close eye on your belongings, should be taken. The locals are friendly and the crime rate is relatively low. However, it's important to bear in mind that English is not widely spoken, which could potentially cause minor safety issues in terms of getting correct information and directions.

I totally recommend this city, called also the cyber city. It’s full of life and I felt totally safe, I was with a girl friend and a boy, and we had so much fun, the only difficulty is that maybe if you are not well organized it’s difficult to get into the attractions because of the language barrier

Chongqing is a safe city like other cities in China. You don’t have to worry about being robbed or stolen here. You can feel free to use any transportation here without worrying about safety. The people are very friendly, if something unsafe really happens to you(not very likely I would say), I am sure the police and people will take measures to help you.

unique geography made unique urban construction. This is the first thing come up to my mind when mentioning Chong Qing. Speaking of local vibe, Chong Qing is truly an inclusive city with chill vibe. It is friendly to LGBTQ+, and female are well respected in social atmosphere. Interestingly, female are tend to have more “power” and respect in most Chong Qinger marriages. Also, food here are incredibly tasty and unique. If you are the one who really into spicy food, please do visit here just for food sake.
