对于外国游客来说中国安全吗？ [美国媒体]

Is China safe for tourists?

中国对于外国游客来说安全吗？


Jordan Boyd-Graber
I visit China a fair amount for both work and to visit family.
The biggest physical threats in China are crossing the street and breathing the air, which affect tourists and natives alike.
The biggest differential threat to tourists is getting overcharged for stuff and getting approached by street merchants: a threat to the pocketbook, but not to your person.

为了工作和探亲我去过不少次中国。
在中国对游客和当地人最大的威胁是过马路和呼吸空气。对游客的最大威胁是买东西被宰和被太多的街头商人围住：这是对钱包的威胁，而不是对你的人。

Two years ago I ran into a girl from Switzerland in Gansu province China, in which I was working for a gas pipeline project.  This girl was holding a piece of paper looking for help with a broken touring bike on the high way. So I pulled over asked her what happened, it comes out that she and her friend, two grils, cycled along together in china on the high way, till that day , they have finished 1/3 of their journey which is about 1000miles . But cause the loud wind that day, her partner even didn't realized she has fell behind and didn't notice the phonecall from her at all, and all the mantenace tools was on her friend's bike. So I drove her and her bike to her friend, helped them fixed the bike and gave them some water supply, till they were back on the tour again.
I tell the story to show that in China, many many people are happy to offer help to strangers. These two girls even wouldn't finish their journey by cycling if China was not safe for tourists. China is a beautiful and safe country for touring by walking, cycling, driving.
I recommend you to read a book The Longest Way written by Christoph Rehage who is from Germany, walked through China from Beijing to Urumchi in 12 months. The book is full of pictures and stories about his 4646Km journey from east China to west China. I believe you would find some answers to your question.

两年前，我在甘肃省做一个天然气管道项目的时候遇到了一个瑞典女孩。这个女孩带着一辆破的旅行自行车举着一张纸在高速公路旁边求助。所以我停下车过来问她发生了什么，结果是她和她的朋友两个人在中国的高速公路上一起骑行，直到那一天，她们已经完成了三分之一的行程，大约1000英里。但是那天的风很大，她的伙伴都没注意到她没跟上来，也完全没有注意到她打过去的电话，而所有的修车工具都在她朋友的自行车上。于是我把她和她的自行车带到她的朋友那里，帮她们把自行车固定好，给了她们一些水，让她们再次回到旅途。

我讲这个故事是为了表明，在中国很多人都乐意为陌生人提供帮助。如果中国对旅游者来说不安全，那这两个女孩甚至不会来这骑车旅行。中国是一个对于徒步、骑行、驾车游览来说都美丽而安全的国家。

China is one of the safest places I have been in the world and I enjoy traveling there for that reason. I have not feared once going anywhere in China including the rural areas, crowded transport, or the major cities. I have always been treated well, sometimes embarrassingly so and as some have pointed out foreigners are safer than locals. 

In short I love China and would love to live there. I go as often as I can.

中国是在这个世界上我去过的地方中最安全的国家之一，由于这个原因，我喜欢去那里旅游。在中国我可以毫无顾虑地畅游包括农村或者拥挤的城市在内的任何地方。我一直得到了很好的对待，有时候也很尴尬，因为有人指出外国人比当地人更安全。
总之，我爱中国，想住在那里。我会尽可能地经常拜访那里。

Totally. Australia is far more dangerous. In China, if anyone tries to harm you a big crowd will gather. There are security cameras everywhere. People generally have high moral standards. That being said petty crime is around and the main reason is poverty. People will steal your stuff in a remote area if you fall asleep on the bus etc. If you go to Beijing, don’t get scammed by people at the wall or whatever. They will try to take you to a really expensive tea house ( you only find out when you get the bill ).
Avoid dodgy KTV. Just don’t do dumb things.
Muggings, rapes, murders, gun crime, gangs, and stuff that can happen randomly in the US, or other places like Australia are much, much less.
Australia has a huge recreational drug problem, especially with ice. Don’t have to deal with that here.
China executes more criminals than any other country by far. You don’t want to mess with the law here.

非常安全。澳大利亚比中国危险多了。在中国，如果有人想伤害你，立马就会有一大群人聚集过来（围观）。到处都有安全摄像头。人们普遍都有很高的道德标准。话虽如此，但是也有很多小型犯罪，而这些犯罪的主要原因是贫穷。比如说如果你在公共汽车上睡着了，人们会在远远的地方偷走你的东西等等。如果你去北京，不要被长城上的人或者别的什么人吓倒。他们会试图把你带到一个非常昂贵的茶馆（你只有在收到账单时才会发现）。
注意避开狡猾的KTV。不要做傻事。
在中国，像抢劫、强奸、谋杀、持枪犯罪，团伙犯罪等经常在美国或者其他地方比如澳大利亚发生的事情会少很多很多。
迄今为止，中国逮捕的罪犯比其他任何国家都多。在这儿你最好不要试图触犯法律。

Persis Kwok
ABSOLUTELY YES.
To be honest, many Chinese people are afraid of traveling in America because some news that reported happened there. How Chinese people think of America is same as how American think of China. The news you have heard may be true but it’s the small part of this country. Just like chinese can’t agree with the law in some states that you can get your own guns in your bedside tables. What’s worse, the medium let Chinese know some drugs in America are legal…
HOWEVER, we both know this two countries are safe enough to travel.

绝对安全
说实话，因为媒体对美国的报道，很多中国人都不敢去美国旅游。中国人看美国就跟美国人看中国一样。你听到的消息可能是真的，但这也只是这个国家的一小部分。就像中国人不会同意美国某些州允许你在床边摆弄你的枪的法律一样。更糟糕的是，媒体让中国人知道有些毒品在美国是合法的…
但是，我们都知道这两个国家对于旅行者来说都是足够安全的。

Foreigners can be targeted for passports, laptops, mobile phones, purses and handbags. Major tourist sites and areas frequented by foreigners attract thieves and pickpockets. Take extra care at major tourist sites, street markets, Beijing International Airport, major international events and conferences and popular bar areas after dark. If your passport is lost or stolen, report it to the nearest police station or Public Security Bureau, who will issue a ‘confirmation of loss’ report. Don’t resist any attempted robbery.
Serious crime against foreigners is relatively rare, but incidents do occur. There have been incidents of sexual assault and robbery of foreigners, particularly when travelling alone in a taxi late at night in major cities. Where possible, take an ‘official’ taxi, make sure someone knows where you are and try to take a note of the taxi’s number.
There are occasional incidents with taxi and pedicab drivers who insist the passenger misunderstood the fare. Avoid travelling in unmarked or unmetered ‘taxis’ and insist on paying only the meter fare. Ask the driver for a receipt (fapiao), on which the taxi number should be printed. You can take this to the police to lodge a complaint.
Counterfeit bank notes (especially RMB100) are increasingly common. They are generally crumpled to avoid detection. Unscrupulous traders may try to switch your genuine bank notes for counterfeits. Check carefully before accepting notes. It is quite normal to do so.
Beware of scams particularly in popular tourist areas. A regular example is the ‘tea tasting’ scam. Scams usually involve a foreign national being invited to visit a bar, shop or cafe – for example to practice English or meet a girl - but results in demands for an exorbitant fee, often payable by credit card. This can result in threats of violence or credit card fraud.
Don’t trek alone in isolated areas, including those that follow parts of the Great Wall. If you do, leave your itinerary, mobile number and expected time of return at your hotel or with a third party.
Areas bordering on Siberia, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Laos and Burma are poorly policed. In Yunnan Province, drug smuggling and other crimes are increasing. There is a risk of attack from armed bandits in remote areas.

外国人可能会成为盗贼针对护照，手提电脑，手机，钱包和手提包的目标。主要旅游景点和外国人常去的地方吸引着小偷和扒手。在主要旅游景点，街头市场，北京国际机场，重大国际赛事和会议以及天黑以后的热门酒吧等地区，请多加小心。如果您的护照丢失或被盗，请将其报告给最近的派出所或公安局，由他们发出“确认损失”的报告。被抢劫不要企图反抗。

对外国人的严重犯罪比较少见，但确实发生过这样的事件。曾发生过性侵和抢劫外国人的事件，特别是深夜在大城市单独出租车时。在可能的情况下，尽量乘坐“官方”出租车，确保有人知道你在哪里，并努力记下出租车的号码。

偶尔会发生出租车和三轮车司机坚持乘客搞错了票价的事件，要避免乘坐没有标记或者不要打表器的出租车并且坚持按票价交费。询问司机收据（票价），打印出租车号码。你可以把这个交给警方向他们投诉。
伪钞（特别是100元人民币）日益普遍。为避免被发现，它们通常是皱巴巴的。不法交易者可能会尝试将你的真钞转换为假币。在接受前要仔细检查。这样做是很正常的。

谨防特别是在热门旅游地区的骗局。一个典型的例子就是“品茶”骗局。诈骗通常包括一个外国人被邀请去酒吧、商店或咖啡馆，例如练习英语或和一个女孩相见，但结果是收取过高的费用，通常是用信用卡支付。这可能导致暴力威胁或信用卡欺诈。

不要独自在偏僻的地区跋涉，包括那些和长城在一起的地区。如果你要这样做，就在你的酒店或者第三方留下你的行程，手机号码和预期返回的时间。

与西伯利亚，巴基斯坦，哈萨克斯坦，越南，老挝和缅甸接壤的地区管理不善。云南省毒品走私等犯罪活动日益增多。在偏远地区可能会遭到武装匪徒的袭击。

China isn't the South Korea and is definitely a place you must visit once in your life. Straight answer is like any other countries of course it depends on the area, what time is it, and what you are doing there. The food are delicious, the scenic views and diversity incredible.
Ive travelled a few times to China and never encountered anything that's dangerous. What you should watch out for is probably pickpockets around the semi rural area or in the public transport, but other than that nothing malicious really. Just stay within tourist area and you should be fine.
That being said like with any countries, researching the customs and cultures here will get you a long way to getting along with people. Most dont speak english so make sure you learn some basic words like toilet.

中国不是韩国，绝对是你一生中必须去一次的地方。（对这个问题）直接的答案就像其他国家一样，当然取决于什么地区，什么时间，以及你在那里做什么。这里的食物非常美味，景色和多样性令人难以置信。
我去过几次中国，没有遇到任何的危险。你应该注意的可能是城市郊区或公共交通工具周围的扒手，但除此之外没有什么恶意。只要留在旅游区，应该就没问题。
话虽如此，和去任何国家一样，研究这里的风俗习惯和文化会让你有很长的路要走。大多数人不会说英语，所以一定要学一些基本的词汇，比如厕所。

Before sharing my AIESEC experience(Global Volunteer) in china I should say my view on china. Before going to china I don’t know much about it, What I know is
1.It’s communist [1]country so no freedom of speech and government suppress[2]their citizens if they don’t obey party rules.
2.china is famous for fake and cheap goods.
3.Chinese are very poor so they make cheap goods and survive
4.They don’t speak English at all so it is going to be very tough for me to survive there(china).
5.I thought food habits might be different.I read news regularly so I know that Chinese eat dog’s and cats ruthlessly.
6.China is good for Martial Arts which has been thought by Indians(Bhodhidharma).
7.The Chinese Actor I know was one and only Jackie Chan[3].
These are the things which I know before going china and I should tell you guy’s one thing I am afraid of Immigration[4] in china because the time I started flying was very bad because 1 day before my arrival in shanghai, Bomb Blast happen in Shanghai Pudong Airport, So I was afraid of Immigration though my visa is tourist visa.
Now, coming to point The experience in China is Amazing and it broke all my stereotypes.
1.First thing I found was all Chinese are not similar each and everyone is different.
2.it seems china is not a poor country.
3.The Chinese don’t hate communism and they love what CPC( communist party of china) does.
4.China is super cool at copying all top western brands.
5.I thought people will be fighting on road with swords and they would hate Indians but ”Chinese are so welcoming” I got nice caring throughout my stay.
6.Chinese are very hard working, they never fail to inspire me. Jack Ma( Chinese Billionaire) says ” If we want to beat western companies we have to work 16 hours a day” and his employees work 16 hours.
7.Sarcastically beer is cheaper then water and it sold in super markets unlike licence shops in India.
8. Finding vegetarian food is very difficult and it’s very expensive actually double of non veg
9. Mostly what you get is Beef, pork etc… Non-vegans china is for you, you like china the Most.
10. In china the CPC will crackdown good roads and construct road again just to provide employment.
11. At the end of my trip to china made me to understand the difference between Democracy and Communist, according to me “Democracy is like mother, Democracy treats their citizens as a child care for them through welfare programs where as communism is like father which makes his child to learn harder way”.
This is why Chinese like Dangal so much, In dangal Aamir Khan make his daughters in harder way for their better life.
Initially I didn’t like china but end of my trip I don’t want to come back to India because the shanghai( city of night life) city is so beautiful and people are so good to me.

在分享我在中国的AIESEC（全球志愿者）经历之前，我应该说一下我对中国的看法。在去中国之前，我对它不不甚了解，我所知道的是：

1.这是一个共产主义国家，所以没有言论自由，并且如果他们不遵守党的规则，政府会压制他们的公民。
2.中国以山寨货和廉价品而闻名。
3.中国人很穷，所以他们要生产廉价商品并得以生存了下来。
4.他们根本不会说英语，所以我在中国生存会非常艰难。
5.我认为饮食习惯可能会和我有所不同。我经常读新闻，所以我知道中国人无情地吃狗和猫。
6.中国人都擅长印度僧人菩提达摩教授的武术。

7.我只认识一个中国演员，那就是成龙。
这些就是我在去中国之前所知道的事情，还有我应该告诉你们的一件事是我害怕移民到中国，因为在我开始飞行前一天发生了很糟糕的事情，在我到达上海前一天上海浦东机场发生了炸弹爆炸事件，所以我害怕移民，虽然我的签证是旅游签证。
现在，来历数我在中国的经历，这是惊人的，它打破了我所有的成见。

1.我发现的第一件事是每一个中国人都不相似，他们是如此地不同。
2.它似乎并不是一个贫穷的国家。
3.中国人并不讨厌共产主义，他们喜欢中共（中国共产党）所做的事情。
4.中国在复制所有西方顶级品牌方面的能力是超级酷的。
5.我以为人们会用剑在路上打架，并且讨厌印度人，但是“中国人是如此地热情”，我在整个逗留期间都得到了很好的照顾。

6.中国人很勤奋，他们总能激励我。中国的亿万富翁马云说：“ 如果要打败西方公司，我们每天要工作16个小时 ”，员工们每天工作16个小时。
7.讽刺的是啤酒比水便宜，它在超市出售不像在印度要在许可商店里。
8.寻找素食是非常困难的，而且非常贵，实际价格上是非蔬菜的两倍。
9.你能找到的主要是牛肉、猪肉等等...如果你是非素食主义者，那中国绝对是你的最爱。

10.在中国，政府会把好好的路拆了再修过，只是为了提供就业机会。
11.在我访问中国之后，我了解了民主与共产党之间的区别，我想说的是 “民主就像母亲，通过福利计划把公民看作是孩子一样照顾，共产主义就像父亲，使他的孩子学习更加刻苦”。

这就是为什么这么多中国人这么喜欢《摔跤吧爸爸》的原因，在电影里，阿米尔汗为了让女儿们过上更好的生活，让她们选择了一条更艰难的道路。
起初，我不喜欢中国，但等到我的旅程结束，我都不想回到印度了，因为上海（不夜城）很美，人们对我也很好。



Yuta Aoki
Absolutely.
Look, I'm Japanese, and Japanese media often shows angry Chinese anti-Japan protesters burning Japanese flags or attacking Japanese restaurants. As a result, some Japanese people are worried about going to China, but that's ridiculous. The protesters are a infinitesimally small percentage of people, considering the whole Chinese population.
The image of China we often see in the media is heavily distorted.
As somebody who's been to 30 countries, I can say that China is not even remotely dangerous. I enjoyed my time there. You just have to watch out for scammers in big, touristy cities, but they are easy to avoid.
Go and visit China; it will be an interesting experience.

肯定的。
看，我是日本人，日本媒体经常展现愤怒的中国反日示威者焚烧日本国旗或攻击日本餐馆。因此，就有日本人担心去中国的旅程，但这是很可笑的。考虑到整个中国人口，抗议者实际上只占非常小的人口比例。
我们经常在媒体上看到的中国的形象是被严重扭曲的。
作为一个去过30个国家的人，我甚至可以说中国丝毫没有危险。我在那里过得很愉快。你只需要留心大的旅游城市的骗子，但他们也很容易避免。
去参观中国吧；这将是一次有趣的经历。

100% SAFE. I went to China for three times and every time I enjoyed it a lot!
China has some absolutely amazing sights and scenery (spend as much time in Sichuan province as you can!) The only difficulty you may encounter is the language. I can speak mandarin so this was not a huge problem for me, but all the ticket counters, most hotels and transport options will not speak English. It my be a challenge to travel solo in China without at least a basic competency of Mandarin. But in terms of safety, you will have no problem, if that is what you are most worried about.

100%安全。我去过中国三次，每次我都很喜欢！
中国有一些绝对惊人的景点和景色（尽可能多地在四川省呆一段时间！）你可能遇到的唯一困难是语言。我可以说普通话，所以这对我来说不是一个大问题，但是所有的售票处，大多数酒店和交通工具的司机都不会说英语。如果没有汉语普通话的基本能力，在中国单独旅行是一个挑战。但就安全性而言，如果这是你最担心的问题，那么你就没有问题了。

I am a solo female hitchhiker and I travel the world for two years now. I’ve travelled all the way from Ukraine over Russia and Kazakhstan to China, Laos and Vietnam and one year ago I came back to China to continue exploring this wonderful country. 
Although Chinese people usually freak out when I tell them I am hitchhiking alone, and tell me that it is very dangerous, I’ve seriously never met bad people here. Everyone is so incredibly friendly that it’s almost impossible to believe, especially after travelling in post-Soviet countries like Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
I’ve been camping all around China and Tibetan territories of Kham and Amdo, hitchhiking in the most remote places you can ever imagine, I stayed in the houses of people I’ve just met and i never ever was treated badly. They would tell you that Tibetans are bad, Amdo people would tell you that Kham people are dangerous, Kham people would scare you with thiefs but believe me, your experience will prove that all of them are wrong and all of them are really really good people.
The only thing you should be careful about is the traffic and roads because it seems that the traffic rules just don’t exist for the Chinese people. And, probably, while travelling in remote mountainous areas, beware of the wild animals. That’s probably it :)

我是一位单身的女性搭便车旅行者并且已经周游世界两年了。我大老远从乌克兰穿越俄罗斯和哈萨克斯坦来到中国、老挝和越南，一年前我回到中国继续探索这个美丽的国家。
虽然每当我告诉他们我独自一人搭便车的时候中国人通常都很惊恐，并告诉我这是非常危险的，但我在这里从未遇到过坏人。每个人都难以置信的友好，尤其是在俄罗斯、乌克兰和哈萨克斯坦等前苏联国家旅行过之后。
我一直在中国和西藏的康巴和安多地区露营，在你所能想象到的最偏远的地方搭车，我呆在刚认识的人的房子里，但从未受过糟糕的对待。安多人会告诉你，康区的人是危险的，他们的小偷会吓到你。但是相信我，你的经历会证明他们都是错的，而且他们都是真正的好人。
唯一要注意的是交通和道路，因为中国人似乎并不存在交通规则。而且，大概在边远山区旅行时要小心野生动物。这可能是唯一的危险吧 :)

Absolutely. I'm an American and I lived in Shanghai in 2009 but traveled throughout China. During my time there, I encountered many people who were friendly and willing to help, especially if you're open to helping locals practice a little English, which is a very valuable skill that most Chinese people I met aimed to cultivate. 
While there is the occasional person who may try to take advantage of foreigners, but this is actually much less significant than a similar sentiment which I've encountered in Paris and Rome. For the most part, people are kind and fair. 
My opinion is that traditional danger is not a real concern for tourists traveling in China. As others note, the average Chinese person does not have access to guns, reducing risk of massive scale murders, but also, I heard of many strict punishments given under the PRC's reign that act as severe deterrents to crimes that might impact any tourists. 
I have found from people who hesitate to visit that the biggest fear comes from lack of language skills. China is not like Europe, in that sometimes it's hard to find someone who speaks English. I would strongly encourage travelers to carry a notebook, as sometimes people have better abilities with written words as pronunciations vary widely. Also people were always willing to write down Chinese characters, which you can show time and time again to help you communicate. And of course, when all else fails, a notebook speeds up a game of pictionary. 
I've traveled all over the world and China is still one of the most diverse, expansive and beautiful countries I've been to. I strongly advise tourists to not worry about danger -- as it is a very safe place, but instead plan for the wonders ahead and be prepared for the occasional miscommunication and spontaneous detour.

绝对安全。我是美国人并且从2009年起住在上海，但我已行遍整个中国。在那段时间，我遇到了很多友善和乐于助人的人，特别是如果你愿意帮助当地人练习一点英语，这是我遇到的大多数中国人打算培养的一种非常有价值的技能。

虽然偶尔有人可能会试图利用外国人，但实际上这比我在巴黎和罗马遇到的类似的情况要少得多。大多数人是仁慈和公平的。

我的看法是，传统的危险并不是游客在中国旅行的真正关注点。正如其他人所指出的那样，普通中国人没有枪支，减少了大规模谋杀的风险，而且我听说在中华人民共和国统治时期实行的许多严厉的惩罚对可能影响到任何游客的犯罪起着严重的威慑作用。

我从不愿意去中国拜访的人那里发现，最大的恐惧来自于缺乏语言能力。中国不像欧洲，有时很难找到说英语的人。我强烈鼓励旅行者们带上一本笔记本，因为发音差别很大，有时人们的书面语能力会更好。此外，人们总是愿意写下汉字，你可以一次又一次地展示它来帮助你交流。当然，当一切手段都失败了的时候，一本笔记本也可以用来玩你画我猜的游戏。

我已经走遍了全世界，中国仍然是我去过的最多元化，最广阔，最美丽的国家之一。我强烈建议游客不要担心危险--因为这是一个非常安全的地方，相反，把更多的精力放在计划旅行、避免弯路和欣赏美景上吧。

I have visited China once on Dec 2014 to a place called Ningbo, nearly 3 hours drive from Shanghai. I was amazed by the hospitality of the people in general. Where ever I went, I was greeted with a smile and people were courteous enough to help me out  even if I was a complete stranger to the city and had serious language barriers.
I would narrate two incidents: 
Incident 1 : Ningbo: New Year Night: I was dead drunk to say the least in a place called La-Waitan, the Bund of Ningbo. It was already 3.30 AM in the morning and most of the people had left after the party. I thought that I will trust my "Drunken Instincts" to find a way back to my hotel which was nearly 3 kms away. Incidentally so, I lost my way and found myself in a place which was absolutely unknown. I was sitting there in the bus stop and waiting for someone to help me out or else thought to spend the night somehow. Suddenly a convertible Ferrari zoomed past me only to find that it reversed to ask me "Happy New Year". I realized a pretty girl and her boy friend had come for my rescue at almost 4.30 AM in the morning. I asked them if they can drop me to my hotel. And they obliged.
Incident 2: Shanghai: I was supposed to take the Subway and get myself to the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. To be honest, I was standing in front of the ticket vending machine and literally clueless. Suddenly a young guy (who I later realized was studying engineering), and came down to help me. Moreover, he drew a map and told me things and places I should avoid in Shanghai especially during the night.
I had roamed in Beijing, Shanghai, Ningbo and Nanzing, without any major problems finding the cops and locals really helpful. Yes, the air quality is sometimes bad and people smoking around, it may get tough sometimes in pubs and public places, but I have never seen more picturesque as the rural China.
Indeed it is a safe place. In case you are clueless about something because of the language barrier, just say "Ni-Hao" and "Shei-Shei" at the end. Almost 90% of the work gets done in sign language :P

2014年12月，我曾经到过一个距离上海近3个小时车程名叫宁波的地方。我对普通民众的热情好客感到惊讶。无论我走到哪里，人们总是面带微笑，彬彬有礼地帮助我走出困境。即使我对这个城市完全陌生，也有着严重的语言障碍。

我要讲两件事：

事件1：宁波：新年之夜：我在一个叫“外滩”的地方喝醉了，此时已是凌晨3.30分，大多数人在聚会后都离开了。我想我会凭着我的“醉酒本能”找到离这3公里之外的我下榻的酒店。顺便说一句，我迷失了方向，发现自己在一个完全陌生的地方。我坐在公共汽车站，等着有人来帮我，或着就这么糊里糊涂地过上一夜。突然之间，一辆敞篷车法拉利从我身旁掠过，然后发现它倒过来跟我说了一声“新年快乐”。我意识到在差不多4：30的时候，一位漂亮的女孩和他的男朋友救了我。我问他们能不能把我送到我住的旅馆。他们没有二话。

事件2：上海：我本来要乘坐地铁去上海科技馆。我站在售票机前，老实说，简直是不知所措。突然一个年轻人（后来我意识到他在学工程学）出现帮助了我。此外，他画了一张地图，告诉我在上海特别是在夜里我应该避免的事情和地点。

我曾在北京，上海，宁波和南京漫游，没有发现任何重大问题，警方和当地人都非常乐于助人。是的，空气质量有时不好，人们会抽烟，所以有时在酒吧和公共场所可能会变得艰难，但是我从来没有见过比中国农村那样更美丽的风景。

这确实是个安全的地方。
如果你因为语言障碍而对某事一无所知，只需用“你好”和“谢谢”结尾就好了。几乎90%的交流都可以用手语完成 ：P

I've been to ~25 countries in the world, and China is easily among the safest of them all. I feel safer in China than i do in most major cities in the United States. I would put China up there with Denmark, as far as tourist safety.
I spent 4 months in China during the summer of 2010, and never once faced a single problem. Examples of things that have happened there that would rarely happen anywhere else:
In Yinchuan, Ningxia - Lost my credit card, passport and wallet and needed to book a night at a JJ Inn. Staff member TOOK me to her house and let me use her computer to contact my brother, who then booked me a few nights online.
In Pingliang, Gansu - Arrived on a train at 5 AM, before anything opened. Slept on the train station floor, entrusting my bag + passport with a migrant laborer when I was feeling sick and had to go to the bathroom. You wouldn't be able to do this in any other country that I've ever been to.
In Beijing - Went to a coffee shop for the first time and forgot my wallet. Waitress trusted me to bring money "next time".
In Beijing - Internet cafe wouldn't let me use a computer without me giving them my passport (so that the govt can hunt me down if I violate freedom of speech restrictions), and a couple overheard my frustration. They brought me to their house to use the internet and we had tea and they later became good friends of mine that summer!
...And countless other stories of good, trusting and trustworthy people. Needless to say, I've been 3 times and I'm heading back this October. Amazing country in many ways.

我去过25个国家，我可以很轻易地说中国是其中最安全的国家之一。我在中国感觉比在美国大多数主要城市都更安全。就旅游安全而言，我会把丹麦和中国放在一起（比较）。
我在2010年夏天在中国呆了4个月，从来没有遇到过单一的问题。举一些会在那里发生但很少会发生在别的地方的事情的例子：

1.在宁夏银川——我的信用卡、护照和钱包都丢了，同时需要在JJ旅馆预订一晚。工作人员把带我到她家，让我用她的电脑联系我的弟弟，然后让他在网上给我预订了几晚。
2.在甘肃平凉——我在还没有一家商店开门的凌晨5点前就到达了那里。我只好在火车站的地板上睡觉，当我感觉不舒服不得不去一趟洗手间时，我把我的包和护照交给了一个位民工（保管）。而这在我去过的任何一个国家里，你都不能这样做。
3.在北京 ——我第一次去咖啡店忘了钱包。女服务员相信我让我“下次”带钱来还。
4.在北京 ——如果没有我给他们护照的话，网吧是不会让我用电脑的（如果我违反言论自由的限制，政府会收拾我），一对夫妇听到了我的沮丧。他们带我到他们家去上网，我们一起喝茶，然后在这个夏天我们成为了好朋友！

...还有无数其他优秀和值得信赖的人的故事。不用说，我已经去过三次了，并且打算在今年的10月再回去一趟。一个在许多方面都令人赞叹的国家。

I just returned from China yesterday, and I can reply with confidence that China is extremely safe, more so than in my U.S. home in the San Francisco Bay Area. I traveled to Beijing, Xi'an, Changsha, ZhangJiaJie, and Shanghai. Everywhere I found people courteous and respectful.

我刚刚从中国回来，我可以自信地回答：中国是非常安全的，比我在美国旧金山湾区的家更安全。我去了北京，西安，长沙，张家界和上海。我都发现处处的人们都是礼貌和尊重他人的。
