Shanghai was great, my friend and I felt very safe and enjoyed most places we ate. Our experience in Shanghai was that it was really expensive and has a big shopping scene. We opted to taking trains to other cities more focused on other activities such as the Great Wall in Beijing and the terra-cotta soldiers in Xi’an.

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 football ticket. 1k for eating and drinking. I get around mostly by shared bike. It’s really convenient, for most spots we can ride in several minutes.

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.

It’s a modern big city. And people here are very nice and polite. You can go on the street at midnight.Because the security here is very good. Even you left your bag on the street, no one will steal it.

There are CCTV s absolutely everywhere and deters almost all violent crime. You can leave your bags alone at table in a restaurant or bar and no one will take your things. If you lose your phone in a taxi, you can contact the driver and retrieve it. Walking alone at night is more than fine as well.
