[quote=LEMONCACTUS             ,20037]Hi,I know I'm late to this discussion, but I'd just like to say that I've been on my own in China for a year now (and I'm female) and have encountered no major problems at all. The only violence I've seen in a year occurred on an incredibly packed train yesterday and involved 2 women, one of whom gave the other a smack on the back. Much shouting ensued and general laughter from the Chinese passengers (I couldn't understand), and that was it!!On the whole I find the Chinese are curious about me as I regularly seem to be the only Westerner around! People on the trains are often kind. Ie: helping me lift my huge rucksack onto luggage racks etc.Travelling alone is an excellent way to meet new people and gain extra experiences that you just wouldn't have if you were with other people. Of course, you just need to be careful, but that is the same anywhere. I personally feel much safer here than I do at home in England.Whatever you do for your trip, have a wonderful time, China is fabulous!![/quote]
