One of the most important considerations when you head to a totally new place is decoding local customs; and though the Chinese are forgiving to foreigners, I find that the more you know about the culture, the more fun you have – so, a little unusual for Disabled Travelers, we’ll also be offering a smattering of hints for visitors who want to get savvy about how things are “done” over there.
