Eight China Business Travel Tips.

By Dan

The Dragon Business Network Blog did a post, entitled, "7 Tips for Business Travel to China." Believing both that one was missing and that eight is a lucky number, I added one more.  

Here are the original seven:

1. Bring an unlocked mobile phone
2. Take taxis everywhere
3. Use Mguanxi to get around the city
4. Program 962288 into your phone, in Shanghai
5. Register with Ctrip
6. Know that some hotels cater to the domestic market, not foreigners 
7. Treat yourself to a tailor-made suit

Is Ctrip necessarily better than elong?

For more on the seven, I urge you to read the full post here.  

And now for the eight tip. Enjoy yourself at least a bit. If at all possible, spend a few hours taking in some of the tourist sites.  Walk around the city in which you find yourself. Enjoy the food. Get out of your hotel.

What else?
