Is tipping common place in China?
Top Yes, tipping is commonplace in travel industry in China. Tipping is expected – though not compulsory – and shows an expression of satisfaction with the people who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides or drivers we use. You may do this individually, or your Tour Leader will offer to collect the money and tip with the group tipping kitty. Your leader will advise how much and where and when tipping is appropriate.
