  • Any useful tips and advice for dining at Chinese restaurants:

    - In Chinese restaurants, chopsticks, bowls and soup spoons are the traditional table ware.

    - When using chopsticks, it is not polite to point them directly at the people. Traditionally Chinese never stick the chopsticks standing upright in the rice bowl, this is a reminder of the sacrifice at funerals.

    - It is always suggested to drink the bottled or boiled water in China. The food served at small food stands by the street may not suit your digestion system.

    - If you have an extremely sensitive stomach, then you avoid raw vegetables here. Always choose a restaurant which is dependable in terms of hygiene and quality.

    - If you're invited to be a guest at a meal, don't be surprised that if your host tends to order more food than you expect, this is the way for Chinese people to show their hospitality (if you finish all, then it may imply the host didn’t serve enough). What is more, your host may keep serving you tasty bites he/she thought to be, even you don't ask for it.

    - When you are not so sure what to do, simply ask your guides or do as local people do. >> Read more for Chinese Table Manner
