中国旅游礼仪与文化禁忌 | Travel Etiquette & Cultural Taboos in China

基本礼仪 / Basic Etiquette

见面握手是通行礼节，长辈或上级先伸手。递接名片或礼物用双手。在餐桌上，主人会不断夹菜给客人，礼貌接受即可，不必全部吃完。敬酒时晚辈杯口应低于长辈，表示尊重。

Handshakes are the standard greeting — let elders or seniors extend their hand first. Use both hands when giving or receiving business cards or gifts. At the dinner table, hosts will keep serving food to guests — accept graciously, no need to finish everything. When toasting, hold your glass lower than elders' as a sign of respect.

寺庙与宗教场所 / Temples & Religious Sites

进入寺庙需着装保守（遮肩盖膝），部分寺庙提供遮盖布。不要随意触摸佛像和供品。拍照前确认是否允许（部分内殿禁止）。香火旺盛时注意避让，不要从香炉正前方穿过。

Dress conservatively at temples (cover shoulders and knees) — some provide wraps. Don't touch statues or offerings. Check if photography is allowed before shooting (some inner halls prohibit it). Be mindful of incense smoke and don't walk directly in front of the incense burner.

数字与颜色禁忌 / Number & Color Taboos

4谐音"死"，送礼避免4件套，酒店常无4楼。白色与丧事相关，探病或拜访时避免送白花。红色是喜庆色，婚礼、春节场合穿红色受欢迎。8谐音"发"，被视为吉祥数字。

4 sounds like "death" — avoid gifts in sets of 4; many hotels skip the 4th floor. White is associated with mourning — avoid white flowers when visiting the sick or as gifts. Red is auspicious — wearing red at weddings and Spring Festival is welcomed. 8 sounds like "prosper" and is considered lucky.

公共场所行为 / Public Behavior

地铁、高铁上保持安静，避免外放音乐或视频（用耳机）。排队文化在大城市已普及，插队会引起不满。景区内不要大声喧哗或乱扔垃圾，部分景区有文明旅游积分制度。
