Beijing to Shanghai Places

Chengde

Safety and Precautions

Chengde, like most Chinese cities, is a very safe place to explore. Violent crime is extremely rare, but petty theft can be a problem. Keep a close eye on your personal belongings in crowded places. Your biggest danger will probably involve navigating the streets. Always look both ways when crossing the street. Pedestrians do not have the right of way, and Chinese drivers view basic rules of the road as a mere suggestions.
