Beijing is relatively a safe city. But we cannot say there is no danger since it is a big city, the capital of China. When we talk about danger,we often mean people are getting tricked, misdirected, or ripped off in terms of money not neccessarily putting a gun or knife on your back! Chinese people hate crime either. So we suggest you have to have to take care of your belongings and use your brain.

Crossing the street:
Some Chinese people have little sense of traffic regulation. On the street, you will feel scary to find how some people in Beijing crossing the street.Some drivers fails to offer priority to the walking people or bicycle. At the same time some people ignore the trafic signal and the car too! Very often some people ignore the colour of the traffic. Please don’t follow those who neglect the traffic regulation. Keep in mind that some of the drivers on the roads are quite new! So anything will occur!
pickpockets:
You can find pickpockets have happy time in Beijing.Most of the predictable areas: scenic spots,shopping areas,, on the buses and subway.Beside the areas, you have to be on the alert whenerver and whenever you are, specially when you are in a supermarket a restaurant.
