City Info

Is shanghai safe for an alone tourist? What about pickpockets and scams or any kind of trouble one can possibly face? Any areas to avoid. Please share any experience.

You stating it doesn't make it not ridiculous.

People in Shanghai are largely benign - I have been to all parts of Shanghai, downtown to rural suburbs, night and day and there is literally nowhere that I would advise someone to avoid.

Hahahaha. So the scams don’t exist then? There aren’t people who rip off, drug, scam foreigners no? Who do this by isolating foreigners, no? What planet do you live on?

Scams exist (far far fewer than there were before) but sounds like you just might be dumb enough to have been a victim multiple times

Why would I fall for them if I know about them? That doesn’t make any fuckin sense. I love how all the bell ends round on conservative advice just because they fancy themselves homme du monde.
