Safety Rating

Night Transport Safety

Night transport in Chengdu is generally very safe. Taxis, ride-hailing services (Didi), and the metro operate reliably. Well-lit streets and visible police presence contribute to a secure environment, even late at night.

Safety Tips

Chengdu generally has good public safety and is a safe and friendly city. International students should pay special attention to the following risks: First, Chengdu cuisine is primarily spicy and oily. Newcomers may not be accustomed to it, so it's recommended to start gradually or choose restaurants with lighter flavors. Second, in winter, due to the basin topography, the air pollution index is high. It's advisable to wear a mask when going out and reduce time spent outdoors. Additionally, while the city is relatively tolerant of the LGBT community, one should still be wary of potential emotional scams. Practical advice: Utilize public transportation frequently, avoid taking taxis during peak hours; actively participate in cultural activities organized by the school to better integrate into local life.
