Is Shanghai a safe city?
Shanghai is a very safe city, and violent crimes are extremely rare even in the poorest neighborhoods. As with any metropolitan cities, petty theft and pick-pockets do exist. We recommend that students be attentive to their new surroundings. ThinkChina has developed a comprehensive safety guideline designed to keep students safe. In addition, first-aid trained Resident Assistants will be overseeing the students. For more information on this topic, please visit our safety page.
