Whenever you are planning a family trip to any
foreign land, it is always better to know all the necessary tips and tricks
that would help you during the journey. And it becomes much more important when
you are traveling to an altogether different land with different culture,
traditions, social manners and eating habits. And that is why when you are
planning China family tours
with your loved ones and friends, it is better to avoid the culture shock and
do a bit of research before you board the flight. And that is where we are
going to help you out. Today we are going to discuss a few tips that will help
you while you are visiting Chinese mainland. Let us go through them one by one.
1. Nodding
or shaking hands are both the quite acceptable ways of greeting. For “hello”,
you can use the phrase “nǐ hǎo” and “xiè xiè” for “thank you”.
2.
While you are eating out in restaurants, taking a spa or riding in a local cab,
there is no requirement to pay a tip. However, tipping the guides or bellhops
is completely fine.
3. When you are accessing the Internet in
China, always take care that there are several domains and apps which are
blocked by the authorities and that can hinder your connection back home,
especially by email and messenger. Some of these apps include Google (all its
apps), YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, some of the major news apps and Instagram.
4. It is better to skip the tap water
while you are out in the markets. Well, fret not, you can easily purchase
bottled water at the local stores or restaurants.
5. While you are in mainland China, get
accustomed to spoons and chopsticks. Always remember never to leave the
chopsticks in a sitting upright position as it signifies death. Moreover, don’t
frown if you see anybody chewing loudly, slurping or burping as it is
acceptable and is considered the signs of appreciation.
With that being said, these are only a handful of
the many tips and tricks that will definitely help you appreciate your time on
a China family tour.
