Food, by far, is one of the most important aspects of life to Chinese people and this city is arguably the best destination in China to sample the array of high-end foreign and local Chinese cuisines.

Then there are also the 5-star hotel restaurants to contend with. Hotel dining may not be your ideal meal destination, but in Shanghai,they have a completely different reputation.
Business Etiquette in China
In Sun Tzu's The Art of War, there is a wise saying... "Know the enemy, know thyself; a hundred battles, a hundred victories". Understanding the Chinese way of thinking can help you avoid unnecessary complications and misunderstandings and maintain good relations with your Chinese partners. Much of the business etiquette in China draws upon key values that are just as important in social settings. They can be summed up as respect for hierarchical positions, the concept of face and building relationships. A quotation from Mao Tse Tung epitomizes the importance of hierarchies. "The individual is subordinate to the organization. The minority is subordinate to the majority. The lower level is subordinate to the higher level."

In addition to the time-honored traditions, modern festivals have been added to the year's calendar of events to balance the old with the new.
