What should Chinese women pay attention to when traveling to India?

Be safe.

Practical tips:

1. If you are going to spend the night on the train, choose an upper bunk so that you can avoid potential sexual harassment and have more private space. (Many tourists say that it is better to choose more expensive train seats because there are fewer passengers in each carriage.)

2. Avoid making eye contact with others or chatting with unknown people. It can cause others to misinterpret your meaning.

3. If you are traveling by car, where there are many harassers, you can try to book a seat at the front of the coach. Sit next to other women if you can.

4. According to local customs, you must wear a T-shirt and trousers outside your swimsuit when swimming.

5. Do not take public transportation at night, and avoid taking buses and trains with few people at night.

6. Use a taxi service at night, especially when you are alone, and do not hail a taxi on the street.

7. If you travel with a companion, especially a male companion, you may avoid some trouble. (Referring to your husband often—whether you have one or not, also helps.)

8. Wear sunglasses: No matter who you are, you will be staring at them.

Although crimes against women, including foreigners, are on the rise in India, they are still rare.

Many governments have provided a series of suggestions on traveling to India. Canada advises its citizens to avoid traveling alone, especially at night, taking public transportation alone or going to remote, unlit places; the Australian and British governments have provided similar advice, advising women to be extra cautious.

Only the United States recommends that women avoid traveling alone in India. Special attention should be paid to the fact that men will harass foreigners through verbal and physical contact, especially some foreigners of African descent.

In fact, sexual harassment and molestation occur more frequently than rape, but tourists do not encounter it often. These situations occur more in tourist towns and large cities in northern India. These harassment behaviors include rude words and behavior, voyeurism and intentional touching of women while walking. More physical harassment occurs in downtown areas, such as crowded train stations, markets, or during holidays.

(People sprinkle colorful powder during the Holi festival, which can make people unable to see what is in front of them, making it easier for some people to harass.
