According to Australia’s Smartraveller advisory as of August 19, 2025, travelers should exercise a high degree of caution throughout China due to ongoing health concerns and should monitor news for new or changing risks. The U.S. Department of State currently assigns China a Level 2 travel advisory, meaning increased caution is recommended due to arbitrary enforcement of local laws, including exit bans. Foreigners, including businesspeople and academics, have faced detention and questioning under China’s national security laws, sometimes without a transparent legal process. The Hong Kong and Macau regions have similar advisories for arbitrary enforcement of local laws, and the ability of foreign consulates to provide assistance in Macau is limited.
In addition to legal and health risks, travelers should pay close attention to common safety issues. While violent crime against tourists is rare, pickpocketing can occur in crowded markets and public spaces, especially in major cities like Beijing or Shanghai. Securing personal belongings, avoiding sensitive political discussions, and remaining alert against scams is advised, as highlighted by China Highlights and travel podcasts.
Road safety is another concern, as drivers in China sometimes disregard traffic rules and pedestrians may not be given the right of way. To minimize the risk of taxi scams, travelers should use reputable, metered taxis or reliable ride-share apps such as Didi. Negotiating fares before entering and requesting official receipts can prevent overcharging and counterfeit currency issues.
Health-wise, beyond the current chikungunya outbreak, travelers should be aware that sudden weather changes and air pollution can be problematic, especially in cities like Beijing where winter air quality sometimes reaches unhealthy levels. Apps such as Air Matters can help monitor daily conditions, and wearing N95 masks and planning indoor activities on poor air days are practical steps. For those traveling to high-altitude areas like Tibet, awareness of altitude sickness and personal preparedness is crucial.
Public transportation in China is typically safe and efficient, with high-speed rail and subway networks known for punctuality and security. However, if venturing onto remote hikes or engaging in adventure sports, joining a licensed tour group is recommended for safety.
Recent traveler experiences from July 2025 reflect that most visits to China’s major attractions—such as the Great Wall—are enjoyable and safe when proper planning and precautions are taken. Notably, current Covid-19 testing requirements for Macau have been lifted since August 30, eliminating prior restrictions for travelers.
Overall, those interested in traveling to China now should remain alert for updates regarding the chikungunya outbreak, monitor official travel advisories, respect local laws and customs, and take sensible precautions for health and personal security.
