[quote=GUEST18648,51962]I'm a Canadian Chinese woman in my 20's and I plan on travelling to China alone for two months. I'm on a budget and plan to do the whole backpacking thing and stay at hostels. I don't speak Mandarin at all and I was wondering how safe it is for me to go to the following areas: Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou, Guilin, Qingdao, Huangshan, Yunnan, Chongqing. I plan to get to each of these places by train, and bus if needed. Now, I have heard my fair share of rumours: tourists being kidnapped, pickpocketing, tourists being attacked, people trying to infect you with diseases, organ harvesting, etc. I'm assuming that most of these rumours (except for the pickpocketing) are either rare or just ridiculous, but since I haven't been to China, I'd like to hear it from people who have been to these places. Exactly how safe is it, and would you recommend me (a solo female asian) to go ahead with it? Thanks for any advice you can give me.[/quote]
