Food
• Offering local food in Chinese style helps to get Chinese guest to eat in non-Chinese restaurants
• Prefer Chinese food
• A selection of local dishes for all to share is good
• Local food is considered interesting to taste and take photos of but it is not intended to be the most substantial meal of the day
27

Shops
• A few phrases from frontline staff really helps
• Asking Chinese visitors twice if they need help allows them to appear modest whilst also getting what they want
• Perceived mistreatment might quickly be interpreted as anti Chinese behaviour
28

Chinese assign powerful meaning to colours
30
BLUE
Implies vigour and vitality
RED
Good fortune and joy
YELLOW
The centre of everything.
Signifies neutrality and good luck
WHITE
Symbolises mourning and is associated with death and used
predominantly at funerals

To note
• Family name comes first, normally one syllable (XI, Jimping)
• Status comes before gender, no ‘ladies first’ in China
• Many Chinese travellers are money-rich but time-poor. They do not want to wait
• Numbers 4 and 44 pronounced in Chinese are similar to ‘death’. Avoid them! Number 8 has a positive connotation
