China Culture, Etiquette & Language Essentials (Mandarin Chinese (普通话 (Pǔtōnghuà / 中文)))

Strictly NO tipping in Mainland China—restaurants, cafés, DiDi drivers, and hotels never expect tips and may run after you thinking you accidentally forgot your change. Do NOT drink raw tap water in China; every hotel room provides an electric kettle and free bottled water, and all train stations/airports have free 24/7 hot/warm drinking water dispensers.
