First, you should not arrive too late to a party. It’s normal to be on time or 10 minutes early. If you arrive too late, it’s impolite to make others wait for you. Second, it’s polite to bring a small gift. You don’t have to bring something expensive. Fruit, snacks, or even a box of nice tea are great choices. If it’s a birthday party, a small cake or a cute gift is perfect. Third, pay attention to your table manners. In China, you should wait for the elders to start eating first. Also, don’t stick your chopsticks straight up in the rice. Lat but not least, when you talk with people, you can ask about their hobbies, food, or travel. These are safe topics. It’s best not to ask about politics, age and income. I hope these tips help you feel more confident at parties. You’ll love Chinese parties once you get used to them!
