Safety Tips
Shanghai is a very safe international metropolis overall. International students should pay special attention to the following: First, be wary of various phone and online scams; never trust unfamiliar calls or links. Second, Shanghai has a high cost of living, especially in central business districts. It's advisable to check prices before shopping or dining to avoid unnecessary expenses. We recommend using public transportation like the subway and buses, which are efficient, convenient, and economical. Additionally, download common payment apps like Alipay or WeChat Pay for daily convenience.
