It's up to you...but I would say keep it safe in a bank.

I have heard that all Americans are extremely naive when it comes to travelling anywhere in the world outside of their home country but I’m pretty sure that’s 100% BS too

Those cities are probably the safest in the world....no worries. While you're there...do some watch spotting as well...you'll be surprise to see what's on people's wrist.

Believe me, China is not even ranked in the top 70 countries with the Highest Crime rates in the world. My country is ranked at a jaw dropping top 15th with the highest crime rates(Crime Index 65.56 ) and takes the number 1 spot in South East Asia ( Source: 2016 Crime Rate Index by Numbeo).I was also a victim of snatch theft incident many moons ago and almost lost my PO 2500 watch.Anyways, our immediate neighbour, Singapore is regarded as THE safest country on planet Earth.Ok. Cybercrimes are on the rise but that's a different story.....

No problem, many cities in Asia are as affluent if not more so than many US cities. You will be fine

Why would you travel there if it was not safe?

I'm sorry, but posts like this are ridiculous to me. Really, extra cautious taking pictures in China? Good lord. Unless you're snapping pics of hookers or you purchasing party favors for the night, you have nothing to worry about.

Right?

I have to always laugh at these 'Is it safe' posts, ranging from taking your Rolex in water to if it will get stolen in a certain area.

My nationality is technically American and I can 100% say it's not BS whatsoever

Being careful is always good. However, HK, Tokyo and Shanghai are really safe cities.

Been living in Beijing and Shanghai, never had any trouble. Much safer than big European cities.

gregmoeck · 16 March 2018, 11:50 PM

nice trip, dang

Zestywesley · 17 March 2018, 12:59 AM

Any Metros in Asian are far safer than our (American) cities. Women can walj outside at night alone and not have to worry. It’s funny when guys like Min claim otherwise as he’s far likelier to lose his Rolex at home than abroad in East Asia.

Not sure why you have to ask.
If you are safe at home, you are more than safe in Asia.
