It's not as bad as the internet may lead you to believe. I'm a white man visiting in laws in Nanjing right now. People have been pleasant, the food is a delight, the subway trains arrive every 4 mins and cover the city. The two biggest risks are pickpockets (hence the trend of men with zippered messenger bags on their chest) and less tourist friendly shopowners getting frustrated if they can't communicate prices to you.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI’m really surprised pickpocketing is a thing again. It was a problem > 20 years ago, then it just stopped being a thing people worried about, so I guess it’s a thing again now? Traffic safety is probably your biggest problem in China. They are at 104 deaths / 100k, whereas the USA is at like 16. So…you really need to watch crossing the street and riding in a taxi without safety belts.
