China Emergency & Safety Guide for Travelers
Traveling in China is, for the most part, remarkably safe. Violent crime is rare, and you're far more likely to encounter language barriers than physical danger. But "safe" doesn't mean "familiar" — the systems, the language, the rules are all different from what you're used to, and when something goes wrong, you may find yourself unsure where to even start.
This guide exists for that moment. Save the phone numbers before you land. Read through the scenarios once. Twenty minutes of preparation beats twenty minutes of panicked Googling at 2 AM in a city whose name you can't pronounce.
DIY China Trip hopes you never need this guide. Bookmark it anyway.
