Securing Valuables

Being vigilant about valuables is true for travel anywhere in the world including the United States. There will be occasions when we will be in very crowded places such as the rail station where we need to be vigilant. We will stick together as a group and move as a group in China -- just like a Chinese group. In my own view, China is a very safe place. In fact, it is really a lot safer than the United States! Since we will be hauling cameras, laptops, a passport, credit cards and cash, one needs to be careful. You might want to consider getting one of those travel pouches with a lanyard for cash, credit cards and passport. Hotel rooms will have safes. Also, do not put valuables in any checked luggage
