How is the public security in Beijing? Who should I contact in case of emergency?

Beijing is generally a safe city for tourists, with low crime rates. For emergencies, dial 110 for police, 120 for an ambulance, or 119 for fire services. Many tourist areas also have English-speaking staff at information centers, and major hotels can assist with emergency needs. It’s a good idea to save the address of your hotel in Chinese in case you need help getting back.
