I have been travelling around China for the last 10 years both on my own and with friends. As long as you have internet and the apps you will be fine. Most place don’t speak a lot of English but they are set up for tourists especially the main tourist attractions. Public transport is easy and safe.
Posted: July 4, 2025Shanghai was amazing! I stayed for 5 days but wish I stayed longer. Everything was so cheap and the transport system (metro) made it so that you could anywhere very quickly since there's metros stops everywhere connected in a grid. The food is very cheap too but lots of overpriced tourist traps. Overall I felt safe but being a non-aisan women will definitely get you a lot of looks from men. People also spat on the street which was very shocking. The people are very friendly, especially students. Customer service is strange, not that friendly but still helpful.

Qingdao Travel Recap 🇨🇳 Safety: Felt very safe—clean, relaxed vibe, even at night. Must-Do: • Zhanqiao Pier for iconic views • Badaguan for colonial architecture • Laoshan Mountain for hiking • Tsingtao Beer Museum for fun and beer tasting • May Fourth Square for city photos Skip: • Crowded beaches in peak summer • Overpriced seafood at tourist traps Food Recs: • Jiaozhou Bay Seafood Street – fresh local dishes • YiQingLou Dumplings – great local dumplings • Try Tsingtao beer fresh from the source! Budget: ~$50–$80/day including food, attractions & transit. Stay: Le Meridien Qingdao – modern, central. Also try guesthouses in Badaguan for charm. Getting Around: Easy—buses, metro, and Didi (China’s Uber) all work well. Metro signs are in English.

Growing up and studying in China was one of the most eye-opening and unforgettable adventures of my life. From navigating bustling markets and constantly sipping hot drinks, to eating 麻辣香锅 and everything else until I had enough (just kidding 😅 — I could never get enough of Chinese food), it was a sensory feast from day one. I slowly but surely began to master Mandarin (still a work in progress!) and used it to connect with the curious and friendly locals. Whether wandering ancient temples or weaving through lively city streets, state-of-the-art malls, I was forever enamored. Immersing myself in such a rich, vibrant culture taught me adaptability, curiosity, and the art of making anywhere feel like home. 我爱🇨🇳
Posted: May 31, 2025I spent 4–5 days traveling through Guilin and Yangshuo with my a friend, and it was stunning although super hot. We definitely felt safe the entire time, though we didn’t stay out too late in the evenings—our days were full enough without needing to. One of the highlights was the boat ride in Yangshuo. The scenery was unreal—limestone peaks rising out of the water, soft mist in the air—it felt like stepping into a painting. Another unforgettable part of the trip was our visit to Longsheng. The rice terraces were stunning, especially from higher up. Photos really don’t do it justice. We also met so many warm and welcoming people. Whether it was in small shops, local restaurants, or on the road, people were kind and open. The food was amazing—fresh, flavorful.

ZHAO,
If you are a foreign visitor, then the place is perfectly safe for you. Most of time men won’t dare to come to you, but be warned their eyes and secret phones, they may take photos of you secretly and stare at you in a disgusting way. Above is for occasions when your appearance is different. When you look like a Chinese, please be careful at night. There are news women being raped after drunk in the city center! And the rapist is not heavily punished. Though you can get help since you are a foreigner, please be careful.
Posted: July 7, 2025You can go to every where in the evening! Don’t worry about be stolen or other safety issues! You can by taxi everywhere , because all the cars have been in the police system! And the local people is much more rich and will not to be bothered foreigners.
