In recent years, with the increase of foreign immigrants and refugees, theft, robbery and other cases targeting foreign tourists have occurred from time to time, especially in bustling areas of the city center and major tourist attractions, and vigilance needs to be raised.

When traveling, one should choose a legal and legitimate travel agency, plan their trip well, and prepare contingency plans for possible problems.
