Q: Where's the worst place in China for pickpockets?
Because Beijing is pretty safe. I've heard Guangzhou is pretty torrid.
10 years 46 weeks ago in Health & Safety - China
On buses. The first time I took a bus any distance was from Yangshou to Guilin and I was so tired. I had people staring at me so hard that I thought if I fall asleep now, I'll wake up naked. I lost my phone on a bus later going back.
My house when I get home with my pay
however detaining my wife can be fun
TedDBayer:
I wear my pants on backwards now, free HJ or I scare them off.
Outside. Unlike phil I always come home empty handed so nothing to pick
In a crowded place. I would say probably a subway or any other place where you have a lot of people so close together.
Train stations are widely known as not safe in China, specially for pickpockets. Any crowded place.
Getting close to 3 years in China now, and I've never been pickpocketed. Small town FTW! But, when I do venture out to bigger cities, my occupied pockets/bag are guarded constantly 
Maybe on buses or train station ,just take care of your property....
