As with any destination we would advise guests to remain vigilant, but the general level of safety on China’s streets is surprisingly good. Beijing and Shanghai boast a measure of personal safety exceeding levels in cities such as London, New York, Paris or Los Angeles. Traffic safety has vastly improved and food safety much more stringent than in the past. One area to exercise caution when walking on the streets is with the abundance of electric scooters, which have increased amidst the popularity of food and courier deliveries.
