Night Transport Safety

Generally safe with extensive metro and ride-hailing services; exercise caution in isolated areas.

Safety Tips

Guangzhou generally has good public safety, but international students should be wary of overpriced goods/services targeting foreigners and fake beggars. As it's in South China, summers are hot and humid; take precautions against heatstroke and mosquitoes. Always use official apps for ride-hailing and avoid buying goods or services from unofficial channels in tourist areas. Guangzhou is an international trade center with diverse cultures; respecting local customs will help you integrate better.
