China travel tips
Climate and Clothing
What to wear while traveling to China? It depends on where and when you are in China.
China is a large country with various climates. In general, the summers are hot and humid, and the winters windy and cold.
In South China, like Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hongkong, Sanya, Xiamen, Quanzhou, Wenzhou and around, the summers are extremely hot and humid from June to September, with typhoon comes now and then. Therefore, the best time to travel to these cities are October and November. The winters in these cities are short and cool (especially for visitors from North Europe and North America ) from about January to February. During the spring from about March to April, it’s warm and has much rain.
In these cities in South China, Sporty casual wear is fine, supplemented by comfortable, study walking shoes. An umbrella, raincoat and light sweater or jacket offers enough protection, except during the cold temperatures of winter months.
In North China, like Beijing, Tianjin, Jinan, Zhengzhou, Xi’an, Huhhot, and especially the cities of northeastern part of China, like Harbin, Shenyang, Changchun, the summers are as hot as those of South China, but a little difference is that the summers from June to August are short. In contrast, the winters from about December to March are long and cold, with the temperature going down at about menus 40 degrees in the northeast part.
Therefore, if you visit these cities in winter, overcoat, thick woolen sweaters, lined coats; cap, gloves and cotton-padded shoes are required.
You may also get some suggestions from your local interpreter in Shanghai/Beijing/Guangzhou or tour guide in Guangzhou/Shanghai/Beijing, etc before your coming to China.

Business Culture/ Some Tips for Doing Business with Chinese (1)
Doing business in China? Having a basic understanding of Chinese business culture and etiquette will definitely helps a lot. The following tips may help you succeed.
Guanxi (relationships between people)
Guanxi is what glues Chinese people together in their social life. For Chinese, if you have a good guanxi (personal relationship) with him or her, everything becomes easy to do. It’s also true to Chinese companies. Therefore, if you want to sell products to Chinese companies, you must establish a good personal relationship with your target company’s purchasing manager.
Compared with people from America and Europe, Chinese people are more emotional. In a way, They will decide a business deal based on how much your personal relationship with them. A good personal relationship also means a kind of trust from Chinese to you.
There are many ways to develop a good relationship with your Chinese business partner. The typical way is to invite him or her to have dinner.
The eating and drinking is an important communicating medium in China and is often used by Chinese themselves, especially when they want to establish or develop a good relationship with a business partner, a local influential official and so on.
When eating, you may talk about business, but your emphasis should be on some light topics, like your family, your hobbies, your aspirations, etc. Just treat your guest like a friend rather than a business partner, and in this way, your guest feel that you are close to him or her, you are as sincere as a friend, gradually, he or she will trust you and develop a good personal relation with you, then, it’s much easier to talk business deals with him or her.
While eating with your Chinese business partner, drinking and toasting is a must. To learn the subtle details, you may need to hire a Chinese interpreter to help.(Chinese interpreter can also be hired from a Chinese translation company or any agency that offers Chinese translation service).
In conclusion, Chinese people base their business relationships on trust and honesty, like to mix business with social life, appreciate modesty and respect for the elderly and those with higher social position and titles.

Business Culture/ Some Tips for Doing Business with Chinese (2)
A better understanding of the way of Chinese thinking, the way of Chinese communicating, and the way of Chinese doing business will definitely help your business negotiations go on smoothly.
Giving face or Gei Mian Zi
Mian Zi (Face) could be loosely defined as the "status" or "self-respect" in Chinese. Giving face (it means giving due respect) is a very important concept in China. You must give the appropriate respect to your Chinese business partner according to his or rank and seniority.
Basically, Chinese people are thoughtful of others, avoid confrontation, and save face on behalf of themselves and others.
For Chinese, it is the worst thing to lose face. It also accounts for that they always pay attention not to make their business partner lose face in business practice. For instance, when they disagree with you, they never say it directly. Instead, they say it in a roundabout way. So, if they say “I’ll think about it”, “I have another idea”… their words are actually graceful ways to say “No”.
Likewise, if they don’t trust you, they never show it by their expression. It’s said that Chinese are good at hiding their emotions. Also, they never say something unpleasant directly to you although you may cause him or her very angry.
When dealing with Chinese businesspersons, never prove him or her wrong nor shout at him in public, for your action would risk putting a Chinese in a situation that he might lose face.
If you do have something unpleasant to talk with your Chinese business partner, it’s advised to hire a China interpreter/translator/assistant to help conduct your topic and express your ideas in a tactful way.
In conclusion, to get a successful effect without letting a Chinese lose face, any criticism should be delivered privately and discreetly, or else, just opposite to what you wish.
Hire a Chinese interpreter to helpmore. (Chinese interpreter can also be hired from a Chinese translation company or any agency that offers Chinese translation service)
Taboo when talking with Chinese
There are some taboo areas in social conversations with the Chinese. Try to avoid these conversational topics as much as possible. Many nasty arguments as a result of these topics:
1. You must not mention that Taiwan is an independent state or a country.
2. You can condemn Mao Tse Tung but avoid criticizing Deng Hsiao Ping or Zhou En Lai.

There are hundreds of testimonials for www.interpretersky.com
The following is one of them:
Name: Maria Zeng(interpretersky's interpreter in Shanghai)
Dear Cindy(staff from interpretersky.com),
Thank you for recommending Maria to me.
AAA + is the Rating that I give to Maria.
My Son and I had no idea what to expect when we got to China and were pleasantly surprised at how accomodating and helpful Maria was. A friendly person who acted professionally, with a great personallity and family values, I am sure you would have a hard time finding anyone to match Maria.
We were in Shanghai for 11 days and were attending 2 shows, a Construction Show and the Asian Solar show. Maria has pretty much perfect English, having lived many years in Australia , so we had no problem with accents or misunderstandings which is big for those looking to purchase or deal in China.
Maria saved us more money than she was paid just by keeping an eye on the every day dealings that we had and we felt secure in her care.
Also she was always doing research at night to make sure that we were informed of how things worked in China and that we were well informed about our options. All we had to do was ask for a vendor other than the ones we went to China to see and she would present us with our options, and these all worked out well. She did not wait , she would get on the phone and make the necessary calls to find what we needed.
When we went to Solar factories to see their plants, she was there with us and was very informed and learned what we were looking for very very quickly, so that she could deal for us if their English was rough.She has a lot of business sense.
Also for Shopping, site seeing, restaurants or hunting for art, Maria had us where we wanted to go immediatly and even told us where the price should be for items.
All in all I cannot say enough about Maria and would ask for her every time I was in Shanghai,,,,, I hope she is not taken when I go back.
