Chinese BUSINESS ETIQUETTE

Always arrive on time or slightly early. The Chinese view punctuality as a virtue and a sign of respect.

Greet the host with a slight bow or gentle eye contact as soon as the host appears. If you already sit down, try to stand up to greet the host.

One lead professor shall introduce the delegation and the purpose of the visit to the host(s) at the beginning of a meeting.

If the delegation is less than 15 people, it will be helpful if each person does a 10 second self-introduction at the beginning. Otherwise, only do so upon the hosts request.

Exchange business cards either at the beginning or end of the meeting. You can decide the timing by following the lead of the host. Hold the card in both hands when offering it. Spend a few seconds examining the cards you received and make a few comments to show you have read the card. Put the card next to you on the table during the meeting, so you can always address the host by name. Ask the host if you can raise questions in the middle to the presentation or leave them to the end. When you ask questions, thank the host for his presentation first.

Ask simple and to-the-point questions. Avoid using jargons that can confuse non-native English speakers. Speak slowly. If you wish to ask sensitive questions, state that you do not know if it is appropriate to ask this question first, but still ask.

Have a student from the delegation present a small token gift to the host at the end of each visit. Shake hands and take pictures.

When leaving, each guest should thank the host again.

At the end of the meeting, feel free to ask the host for his business card. If you wish to have a copy of the presentation, feel free to ask. You will leave a great impression on him if you send him a thank-you email within 3 days after the visit.Important Contact Information

http://www.junhe.com/enSightseeingTHE GREAT WALL JUYONGGUAN PASS

JuYongGuan Great Wall is a pass ('guan' means 'mountain pass') through the mountains located in an 18 km long valley named GuanGou which is in Chang Ping County, more than 50 km from Beijing City. JuYongGuan is one of the three greatest passes of the Great Wall of China. The other two are JiaYuGuan Pass and ShanHaiGuan Pass. Juyongguan Pass is not just a military stronghold, but also a beautiful scenic spot. Around the pass, beautiful flowers and lush trees dot the mountains. A splendid picture! As early as the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234), it was named as one of the eight best scenery of Beijing. The extant Juyongguan Pass was built in the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, reconstruction work was neglected. In 1992 and 2000, the pass was renovated.

temple of heavenTemple of Heaven is situated in the southern part of Beijing city. It was built in 1420, covering an area of 273 hectares. The Temple was the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshipped heaven and prayed for good harvests. The temple complex was constructed from 1406 to 1420 during the reign of the Yongle Emperor who was also responsible for the construction of the Forbidden City in Beijing. The complex was extended and renamed Temple of Heaven during the reign of the Jiajing Emperor in the 16th century. It covers 2.73 km of parkland and comprises three main groups of constructions, all built according to strict philosophical requirements: the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, the Circular Mound Altar.

Earth was represented by a square and Heaven by a circle; several features of the temple complex symbolize the connection of Heaven and Earth, of circle and square. The whole temple complex is surrounded by two cordons of walls; the outer wall has a taller, semi-circular northern end, representing Heaven, and a shorter, rectangular southern end, representing the Earth. Both the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the Circular Mound Altar are round, each standing on a square yard, again representing Heaven and Earth.

SUMMER PALACESituated in the western outskirts of Haidian District, the Summer Palace is 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from central Beijing. Having the largest royal park and being well preserved, it was designated by the State Council in 1960, as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Site of China. Containing examples of the ancient arts, it also has graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden, and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens of the world. In 1998, UNESCO listed it as one of the World Heritage Sites.

TIANANMEN SQUARE

The solemn and respectful Tiananmen Square is the largest central city square in the world, which serves not only Beijing's symbol but also the whole of China. This immense courtyard is the site of various historical events. The square is surrounded by a variety of significant edifices namely, the Chinese Revolution History Museum, the Mao Mausoleum, the Great Hall of the People, the elegant and beautiful Tiananmen (Heavenly Peace Gate) Tower, and the Qianmen (Front Gate). The daily flag ceremonies at the square, performed during sunrise and sunset, are most exceptional and well-worth time to view and experience.FORBIDDEN CITY

Lying at the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City, called Gu Gong in Chinese, was the imperial palace for twenty-four emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was first built throughout 14 years during the reign of Emperor Chengzu in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Ancient ChineseAstronomers believed that the Purple Star (Polaris) was in the center of heaven and the Heavenly Emperor lived in the Purple Palace. The Palace for the emperor on earth was so called the Purple City. It was forbidden to enter without special permissionof the emperor. Hence its name 'The Purple Forbidden City', usually 'The Forbidden City'.The Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The southern section, or the Outer Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The northern section, or the Inner Court was where he lived with his royal family. Until 1924 when the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court, fourteen emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty had reigned here. Having been the imperial palace for some five centuries, it houses numerous rare treasures and curiosities. Listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987, the Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions worldwide.

city wallThe Xian City Wall was enlarged by the first Emperor of Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), base on the old City wall initially built during the old Tang dynasty (618-907). Xi'an City Wall is the most complete city wall that has survived in China, as well being one of the largest ancient military defensive systems in the world.

After the extension, the wall now stands 12 meters (40 feet) tall, 12-14 meters (40-46 feet) wide at the top and 15-18 meters (50-60 feet) thick at the bottom. It covers 13.7 kilometers (8.5 miles) in length with a deep moat surrounding it. Every 120 meters, there is a rampart that extendsout from the main wall. All together, there are 98 ramparts on the wall, which were built to defend against the enemy climbing up the wall. Each rampart has a sentry building, in which the soldiers could protect the entire wall without exposing themselves to the enemy.

big wild goose pagodaSituated in Da Ci'En (Great Kindness and Grace) Temple, about four kilometers from the urban center, Big Wild Goose Pagoda is one of the most famous Buddhist pagodas in China. The Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) for the study of Buddhist scriptures. Although it has been attacked by centuries of weather, war and seismic activity, which destroyed most of the original material of the structure, a pagoda by this name and style still exists on the site.It is the oldest and highest wooden structure in China and is regarded as the "First Pagoda in the World" and an architectural gem. Built without the use of nails, the entire structure is solid, imposing, and elegant. It has weathered over 900 years of wind and storm, yet has remained intact despite many strong earthquakes. It is indeed a masterpiece of ancient Chinese architecture.

TERRA-COTTA WARRIORS AND HORSES MUSEUM

Ranking as one of Chinas and the worlds top historical sights, the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses are not to be missed by any visitor to China. The warriors and horses stand guard in battle formation over Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, which has yet to be excavated. The discovery in 1974 by local farmers was perhaps the most significant archeological discovery of the 20th Century. Work is ongoing at this 236800 square ft. site, which houses around 8,000 life-size pottery warriors and horses. The 2000 years old site has fast become the main attraction in Lintong County, Shaanxi province. Each figure is unique, and the painstaking repair and excavation continues in 3 pits, which are protected inside huge hangars.

Zhujiajiao Water Town

Zhujiajiao water town has a number of old bridges, houses and courtyards. Visitors should not miss the Fangshan Bridge -built in 1471. The bridge has a stone tablet, which is engraved with eight coiling dragons encircling a shining pearl.The traditional courtyard houses are simple, yet elegantly furnished. The white- and gray-tiled houses and their carved windows add much to the ancient atmosphere of the city. Walking down the narrow, zigzagging streets and lanes, visitors will feel as if they have stepped back into time.YU GARDEN

Yu Garden is a classical garden in downtown Shanghai, boasts a history over 400 years. Each pavilion, hall, stone and stream in the garden is expressing the quintessence of South China landscape design from Ming and Qing Dynasty. Over forty spots, divided by dragon walls, wound corridors and beautiful flowers, form a unique picture featuring One step, one beauty; every step, every beauty. It's reputed to be the most beautiful garden south of the Yangtze River. Built beside the Temple of the City God and covering only fives acres, it follows the Suzhou garden design of a world in microcosm, with 30 pavilions linked by corridors, artificial hills, bridges over lotus pools, groves of bamboo and walls occupied by stone dragons.

JADE BUDDHA TEMPLEIt is one of Shanghais few Buddhist temples. The Temple was built between 1911 and 1918, housing 70 resident monks. Its exterior is easily identifiable by its bright saffron walls. Inside, the centerpiece is a two-meter-high white jade sitting Buddha encrusted with jewels. It is said the statue weighs 1,000kg. The sitting Buddha was installed in the temple when monks brought it from Burma to Shanghai in 1882.

VICTORIA PEAKVictoria Peak is a mountain in Hong Kong. It is also known as Mount Austin, and locally as The Peak. The mountain is located in the western half of Hong Kong Island. With an altitude of 552m (1,811ft.), it is the highest mountain on the island proper, but Tai Mo Shan is the highest point in the entirety of Hong Kong.

The actual summit of Victoria Peak is occupied by a radio telecommunications facility and is closed to the public. However, the surrounding area of public parks and high-value residential land is the area that is normally meant by the name The Peak. It is a major tourist attraction, which offers views over Central, Victoria Harbour, Lamma Island and the surrounding islands.

HONG KONG FLOWER MARKET

Hong Kongs Flower Market is a jungle of exotic blooms and scents thats worth immersing yourself in. The dozens of shops and wholesalers here sell auspicious blossoms and luck-bringing houseplants to an enthusiastic crowd all year round. But the lead up to Chinese New Year is when things really heat up, as families flock towards the market to carefully select flowers and greenery that attract good luck and fortune as a new lunar cycle begins.

Travel Tips

LUGGAGE

Within China, there is no weight limitation required for checked luggage on train. You can have as many bags as you want, as long as the weight you can take. But we dont suggest you take too many luggages when by train. So please pack light.

For luggage allowance on the flights (Xian-Shanghai, Shanghai to Hong Kong), the limit is 44lb for TOTAL checked luggage. You can have as many bags as you want, as long as the total weight is no more than 44 lbs. Please note this limit is significantly less than international weight limit, so please pack light.MONEY

In China mainland and Hong Kong, Visa, MasterCard and American Express are the most common. If you pay by credit card, the bank normally charges you 4% as service fee. You will have to use local currency in small local shops and in the free markets. Money is easily changed at your hotel, airports.

The exchange rate is standard throughout the country so you can feel free to exchange money where it is most convenient for you. It is wise to keep all currency exchange receipts since you may need these at the end of your trip to exchange any left over cash back into US dollars. Additionally, you may want to bring some small denomination US cash ($1.00 bills), as many individual vendors at stops will accept it.

TAXI

In China, drivers cant speak English at all, Please take this ChinaSense Booklet with you. It has all the Chinese names of places we may visit. Only take taxis with a TAXI sign on the top. Make sure meters are running. Always ask for a receipt with the taxi number andDate. This will help us to recover any lost property that you have accidently left in the taxi. There is no need to tip.In Hong Kong, taxi drivers can speak basic English. It is fine for simple communication. WATER

Tap water is not drinkable in China. All hotel rooms are supplied with bottled water. If youd like to purchase water, try to find brand-name water at supermarket or convenience store.

CALLING HOME

Here are a few tips that will help you stay in touch. However, be aware of that Beijing and Hong Kong is 12 hours ahead of North Carolina (Sunday, 10 May 2015, 00:00:00 in Beijing and Hong Kong would be Saturday, 9 May 2015, 12:00:00 in North Carolina.)1. Your GSM phones will work; however, roaming service will be very expensive.2. You can get local cell phone service to keep in touch with each other. If you have an unlocked GSM phone, you can purchase a SIM card.3. If you have a CDMA phone (Sprint and Verizon), you cannot use a SIM card.4. By searching the web, you can find rental phone services that will deliver rental phones (e.g. http://www.pandaphone.com) to your hotel and collect them before you leave.5. Skype or Vonage, you should plan ahead to make sure your laptop capabilities are well in place.6. You can buy Asia-US calling cards via the Internet. (e.g. http://www.ecallchina.com/default.asp?index=6 or http://www.cellularabroad.com).ELECTRONICS

For its electrical sockets, in Mainland, 220-volt/50-cycle is used. Appliances designed to operate at 110 volts will need a converter. Two-phase and three-phase sockets are commonly used in hotels. You may need an adapter plug in order to use your electrical appliances. In case you forget it, ask the concierge. Hong Kong uses the British three-pin rectangular blade plug. Electricity is 220 Volts at 50 Hertz.SECURITY

As in many destinations, petty theft can be a problem. Common sense should prevent any problems. Keep your money in a fanny pack or some other secure arrangement close to, and in front of your body. Put your valuables in your hotel safe.

SHOPPING/LEISURE

Notice: Many larger and Tourism Appointed stores will accept credit card payment. Bringing some cash is always necessary in the event that you'd like to buy something from the street vendors.
