Interesting Facts to Pass the Time


Found out all kinds of information about what kind of gifts we should bring with us to China. Quite interesting!

Interesting Gift Tips:
  • Always offer the gift with both hands. This is a sign of appreciation and gratitude.
  • The recipient may deny the gift once or twice as a show of humility. Insist until gift is accepted
  • Avoid giving gifts with USA or the American flag on them.
  • Avoid giving gifts that say "Made in China".
  • US postage stamps are collectable in China.
  • Clocks are considered bad luck.
  • Never write in red ink.
  • Good idea to not give gifts that are white in color, as white signifies death.
