The least safe aspect about most of China is the person behind the wheel/pedal/mobile phone. As for personal safety, it's extremely safe.
I'd say Chengdu is one of the more pleasant places to stroll, at least downtown.
One thing I appreciate about more and more Chinese cities is that they are creating decent pathways along canals, creeks, and rivers; Chengdu is one example of this.
