Overall, compared to many other countries, China is an extremely safe place. But even amongst Chinese cities there are variations in safety and public security. Looking for the ten safest cities in China? Look no further, here they are.

Beijing

No.1 Beijing Security Index: 10　
The capital leads in many areas and public security is one of them. Just like American politicians like to go to Washington where 911 is quite far away from them, for many Beijing is considered the safest place in China.

Shanghai

No.2 Shanghai Security Index: 10
Shanghai is the capital of China’s economy and so public security is a top priority. Shanghai has good public security (high efficiency on the part of the government is an important factor), which is also one of the secrets behind Shanghai’s leading role in the Chinese economy.

Nanjing

No.3 Nanjing Security Index: 9.5
Jiangsu’s top city in terms of public security. Nanjing’s deep historical background as the ancient capital for six dynasties makes it a city based around simple folk customs.

Hangzhou

No.4 Hangzhou Security Index: 9.5
A city that’s experienced staggering economic development; where a combination of good timing and the right people have earned the “good reputation of heaven.”

Qingdao

No.5 Qingdao Security Index: 9.0
One of the best examples in northern China of good economic development and low unemployment greatly contributing to stable public security in the city.

Xinyu

No.6 Xinyu Security Index: 9.0
Many people have little knowledge of this city, but many experts have evaluated this city very highly. No city in China besides Xinyu would dare change the entrances to all its stores to beautiful glass doors. In recent years, theft and robbery are rare here, proving the its deserved reputation for public safety.

Meizhou

No.7 Meizhou Security Index: 8.5
The original home of China’s Hakka minority, for centuries people here have enjoyed a leisurely and carefree style of living. The locals are friendly and the historical footprints, remnants of the city’s ancient past, and easy life makes Meizhou a very peaceful city.

Zhoushan

No.8 Zhoushan Security Index: 8.0
A rich city with a small and stable population. The combination of wealth and few temporary workers contributes to the excellent public security.

Weihai

No.9 Weihai Security Index: 8.0
Founded on the promise of making the “city that is most suitable for human living.” A firm hand on environment and public security go hand in hand in Weihai, creating an environment which seems relaxed and uncontrolled but is stable and safe.

Tianjin

No.10 Tianjin Security Index: 8.0
People in Tianjin are humble and down to earth. You can see people shouting on the street in Tianjin, but you can never see people fighting here. In addition, Tianjin has been very welcoming to migrant populations, thus preventing the tensions that plague some Chinese cities. Therefore, policemen in Tianjin are quite laidback. The relaxed character of Tianjin’s inhabitants determine the safe and leisurely nature of this city.
