China Warnings Or Dangers Tips by graeme83
China Warnings and Dangers: 182 reviews and 80 photos
Air quality in some parts of China was the worst I have seen or experienced. In Xi'an I could only see 100metres in front of me at most times, while in Shanghai I had trouble in seeing across the Bund. The tops of many of the skyscrappers were barely visible when I visited.
The only place that you will ever get hassle from con-artists in China is in Tianamen Square. Typical cons are art students wanting to take you to a gallery of paintings or people wanting to practice English wanting to take you to a tea ceremony. In my first two hours in Beijing I met 4 'art students'. Simply tell them you are busy / have plans and they will eventually wander off.
Warning - In China there are honest taxi drivers that actually charge you by the meter and the correct tarriff.
Every time I flagged down a taxi or went to a taxi rank I got an honest fare by the meter. I was shocked by this because in almost every country I visit a taxi driver will attempt to rip me off. Just avoid the guys at the airport / bus / train station etc that offer you taxi services and you will be fine.
