Also, all large tourist cities have hot lines for tourists to voice their complaints. Most of the complainants were satisfied with the verdicts, which were determined after thorough investigations and verification of facts. A : The People's Republic of China protects the lawful rights and interests of foreigners within Chinese territory, and while on Chinese territory foreigners must abide by the law of the People's Republic of China."
1) Within Chinese territory, the legitimate rights and interests of the foreign visitors are protected by the People's Republic of China. And the freedom of person of the foreign visitors is inviolable as that of the Chinese nationals. And likewise, all foreign visitors must abide by the law of the People's Republic of China. Any activities that disrupt public order, disserve public security and infringe upon the interests of the state, of society and of the collective would be punished according to the laws of China.
2) Within the period of validity of their visas, foreign visitors can freely travel the areas open to foreigners. But they should respect the folkways and customs of local areas. While, those who what to visit areas that are not opened to foreigners should apply for a Foreigners Travel Permit from the local public security organ. Only after the approval is granted, can they enter the area legally. A : Travelers are advised to check with their doctors before visiting China. No immunizations are required for short-term travelers, unless you are coming from or through a yellow fever infected area. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, USA, recommends those who have traveled from an infected area should have vaccination records available. Anyone not having the above mentioned certificate will be detained for observation for as long as six days. You should also bring any special health remedies or medications you require, as well as over-the-counter items. For traveling into countryside, immune globulin is also recommended to combat hepatitis A, as is typhoid immunization. Travel to high-altitude areas such as Tibet is not recommended for those with pulmonary or heart problems. The health quarantine service has the right to prevent any foreigner suffering from AIDS, venereal disease, leprosy, mental illness, or active tuberculosis from entering China. A : Compared with many other countries, China is considered one of the safest countries in the world for personal security. But petty crime has increased in recent year, especially in and around the major cities.
However, serious crime against foreigners is relatively rare. Foreigners are natural targets for pickpockets and thieves, but as long as you keep your wits about you and make it difficult for thieves to get at your belongings, you shouldn't have any problems. High-risk areas in China are train and bus stations, city and long-distance buses (especially sleeper buses) and hard-seat train carriages. So it is wise to be cautious with your personal possession in public place. A : 1) Make several copies of your passport, credit cards, itinerary, airline tickets and other travel documents. Leave one copy with a relative or friend back home and carry one copy with you.
2) Remove all unnecessary credit cards from your wallet. Be sure to carry your credit card company's telephone number in case your card is lost or stolen. Report immediately if there is any loss.
3) Put your passport and other valuable documents in the safety box inside your room or the safety in the front desk. Never take them with you when you go out for sightseeing. Also don't leave your valuable things in your bed or the drawer at hotel without being locked, or the hotel is not liable to make any compensation if they are lost or stolen. But remember to take them out on the day when we leave hotel for airport.
4) Do not show off your money in public.
5) Keep enough money for your immediate needs in your pocket, and hide the rest on your body or leave your backup supply in a safety deposit box at your hotel.
6) Remove any jewelry that may draw a thief's attention before you go out for strolling.
7) Whenever you use your credit card, keep an eye on it until it is returned to you. Always verify that it is your credit card before storing it again. Check credit cards when they are returned.
8) Never wear a bag or purse on your street-side shoulder in order to avoid becoming a target of the "snatch-and-ride".
9) Never carry your passport / visa, credit cards, or other travel documents in your shoulder bag or bum bag.
10) Ensure that you aware of the values of different local bank notes to avoid being deceived. A : China is a populous nation with 1.2 billion people, so all places are full of people, especially in Beijing and Shanghai. So when you go somewhere for visiting, please follow the local guide all time, and don't go too far away from the group. If you want to buy something or go to the wash-room, please tell the guide, he or she can show you the way and wait for you. If you do not follow the advice and get lost, it is nearly impossible to find you in such a big and crowded place. But in case you get lost, the best way is to stay where you are and the guide will come back to find you or you have to take a taxi back to the hotel.
As most people in China can not speak English, we advise you to bring with you the room card (or the hotel voucher we gave to you) of the hotel when you go out. On the card there is the name of the hotel both in Chinese or English, the address and the telephone number. If you can not find the way back to the hotels, you can call a taxi and show the room card to the taxi driver, the driver will send you back to the hotel.
