Entertainment and Tours
In Chinese business tradition, it is very usual for the hosts to schedule tours or entertainment for foreign guests. Such activities are often scheduled between business meetings/negotiations to provide the guests opportunities to relax and travel in China for pleasure. The tours and entertainment include world-famous Chinese scenic spots of high historical value, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Imperial Garden, and the Ming Tombs in Beijing. Folk arts and traditional Chinese cuisine are also often the themes of such activities. China is often called "A Country of Courtesy". It is therefore very likely that their Chinese hosts invite foreign guests to their homes for dinner.
