Answer

Dear Jane，

Glad to hear from you and welcome you to China in July. You are eager to learn about Chinese social customs.The following are some of them.

Firstly, we greet each other by saying “Hello” or asking such questions as “Where are you going?” “Have you had dinner ?” to show good manners. Next, when receiving a gift, we usually say thanks to show politeness and then put it away instead of opening the package as in your country. Finally, at dinner parties, we usually chat loudly and touch glasses when drinking to someone's health or success .

Anyhow, Customs vary from country to country. If you “Do as the Romans do when in Rome”, you’ll enjoy more of your stay here. I hope what’s mentioned above might be helpful. Wish you a good journey to China!

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
