China offers a compelling mix of modern infrastructure, rich cultural heritage, and diverse natural landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Belarusian travelers. With around 500,000 Belarusians traveling abroad annually, a portion may find China an intriguing option for their travels.
China is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Belarus. While Belarus ranks 38th among 40 European countries for safety when walking alone at night, China holds a better position at 87th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, indicating a lower level of overall violence. In terms of murder rates, China has a significantly lower rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people compared to Belarus's 2.4. This suggests a safer environment in terms of violent crime. However, some organized crime indices indicate that China faces challenges, particularly in areas like flora and fauna crime, where it ranks poorly. Nonetheless, the overall crime rates and safety statistics indicate that tourists from Belarus can expect a relatively safe experience in China.
