Compared to many other countries, serious crimes against foreigners who come china for travel is rare. However, crime does occur both in cities and in the countryside. In an apparently random attack, an American man was killed and American woman injured in down town Beijing near the Drum Tower on 9 August 2008.

 You should be aware that the theft of British passports, particularly in the larger cities, is on the increase. Major China tour cities attract thieves and pickpockets.

  Take extra care around street markets after dark.

  In fact, travelling in China is quite safe, except thefts. As Shanghai World’s Fair is drawing near, many people come to Shanghai for business trip or something like that. So if you come to China for Shanghai tours, take care of your wallet. If you take a lot of cash with you, you can find a China tour agent so that your life and possession security can be insured.
