In overall, Beijing is a very safe city. The only real danger we spotted was traffic. No, luckily we didn't see or get into accidents, but it looks like the only rule is that there are no rules.
In the intersections, the pedestrians move inches near bikers, rickshaws and cars. Apparently, the Chinese developed some kind of kungfu dexterity, because they seem to be very calm about it.
Examine closely the attached picture. It's taken on the bridge near the Hongqiao market. The cars don't form a straight line. Here and there you see people and bikes.
However, there are visible efforts to keep the situation under control. Since the traffic lights are mostly used as decoration, there are policemen on the liveliest spots. They are obeyed.
Whenever possible, use bridges or underground crossings. Leave a Comment
