What do you mean "off limits to foreigners"? I travel to china regularly, and have never encountered an "off limits" section of any city. * * I am very obviously a foreigner in China.

Are you ethnic Chinese? There are entire parts of Boa'An that you will be told not to venture into. I have had taxis refuse to take me there, I thought it had to do with the SEZ red/green class restrictions, but we were once told to turn around a private vehicle, ca 2006-2007, fwiw.

  A friend of mine who lived in China from 2004-2007 said the off limits places were due to crime, and that foreigners were not allowed because they were likely to be targeted.

    I never speculated on the reasons, just that I wasn't allowed in.
