Hangzhou Night Markets and Safe Travel: A Solo Evening Walk

How safe is China really? In this video I spend an evening wandering around the city of Hangzhou, getting lost in a garden trying to get to the centre, exploring the many night markets and falling victim to blind boxes at Miniso!💖 00:00 - 09:50: I got Lost 09:50 - 13:23: Lake Night Market 13:23 -...

In this video, the creator Always Away takes viewers on a low‑key, solo evening through Hangzhou to explore firsthand how safe a night out in China can feel. The journey unfolds with a sense of curiosity and a touch of humor as they get briefly lost while aiming for the city center, wander through a serene garden, and then dive into the city’s lively night markets. The standout moments come from the Lake Night Market scenes, the playful chaos of Miniso’s blind boxes, and the later wander through Wulin Night Market with street food at its core. The tone stays approachable and reflective, offering small, relatable details rather than grand conclusions about safety. There’s warmth and gratitude for the supportive community, with shoutouts to Patreons and Ko‑fi supporters that underline the creator’s connection to fans. Overall, the video feels like a friendly, cautious travel diary rather than a sensational or exhaustive safety guide, inviting viewers to consider their own experiences and
