China - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture (81)

I've enjoyed reading this so far. As a PhD scientist and business man I have dealt a lot with Chinese throughout my career. I want to do my best to respect their culture so I figured that I would give this a read. I have no idea if it is accurate or not but it is an easy read.

The narrative on Chinese culture is very well done, and a treasure before I go to China for the third time, and plan to go many more times! China is evolving! This book is up to date as of about 2015. Very informative!

This is a great small book, packed with lots of interesting information. I'm very glad I purchased it! I selected one on China and one on India. If you enjoy reading about different cultures - this is for you!

I always buy one of these culture smart books for wherever I may be traveling next. I highly recommend them. They will give you tips and tricks to follow that you won’t find elsewhere.

Easy to read and informative.

Provides an excellent introduction to basic culture and customs in China Recommended for first time visitors to China. Includes very good recommendations for additional reading.

Enjoyed learning about the history and culture of China!

This was a requested birthday gift.

After a 19-day trip around China I don't share some of the impressions of the author. However it was helpful as a pre-trip reading for having an idea of what I was going to find there.

My friend likes it.

Not what I expected

As someone who has been to China a few times, this guide was a real eye-opener for me. It provides real insight into how Chinese people think and what’s important to them. It also gives a lot of practical tips on etiquette and how to get the most of your time there.For a country with a culture as distinct and unique as China, this is really an invaluable guide - highly recommended!
