Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and communication
Mandarin is the main business language and Cantonese is widely spoken in Shenzhen. English is common in international hotels but less so in taxis, local restaurants, and smaller booths. A translation app and a written Chinese address for your hotel are useful.
Business cards
Bring plenty of business cards and present or receive them with both hands. A bilingual card in English and Chinese helps at exhibitor booths and local meetings.
Cashless payments
Alipay and WeChat Pay are widely used in Shenzhen. International cards work in many hotels and larger restaurants, but keep some CNY cash for taxis, small shops, and backup payments.
Tipping
Tipping is not customary in Shenzhen. Taxi fares are normally rounded up, and hotels or restaurants may add a service charge.
Tap water and food
Do not drink tap water; bottled water is widely available. Street food and local restaurants are part of the city's culture, but choose busy outlets and tell your host about any dietary restrictions.
Internet access
Some global messaging and social media services may be restricted in mainland China. Arrange roaming or an eSIM before travel and check the legal use of any connectivity tool. Hotel Wi-Fi is common but may require a Chinese phone number for some services.
Dress and etiquette
Business casual is typical for trade fairs. Shenzhen is informal in daily life, but smart casual clothing is appropriate for booth meetings. Smoking is restricted indoors; use designated areas.
Punctuality and traffic
Allow buffer time for traffic and security checks, especially on the first show morning. Shenzhen's Metro is efficient, but station transfers can be long during peak hours.
