THE conventional way of greeting each other in China may puzzle a lot of foreigners as we are used to saying "have you had meals?" instead of a simple and direct "hello." But every nation has its own customs bearing unique cultures and traditions. You'll find it quite interesting if you have a closer look at them.
Jiading District boasts a long history and abounds in cultural traditions. Quite a few foreigners become interested in the traditions and would like to invite more people to join them. However, some foreigners don't have a clear idea over the traditions and that can often cause much fun stemming from simple misunderstandings. Chinese people may also feel confused for not understanding foreign customs.

This special issue explores some true stories triggered by cultural differences between Jiading locals and foreigners and offer you a glimpse of various cultures and people.
