Eating and Drinking: Kan Pei!
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you are new to the drinking culture here, here are some good tips that most people not aware of. They might sound very simple, but it is consider important in the local culture especially for those who wants to get business deal done over the dinner table.

    Kan Pei = Bottoms Up
    Peng Pei = Cheers (a sip or two)

    If you mean Cheers, don't simply say Kan Pei and take a sip or two. This will not be taken easily by locals as it is seen as being not sincere having saying one thing and doing the other.

    This is especially true to the older generation Chinese but NOT with the younger generation in their 30's or 20's who are more open and westernised.

     I've been there when I had my trip in Beijing. You are right, it is a nice bar with comfortable atmosphere. Eventhough I don't dance. I also talked with the owner. He is Italian, right? Would like to be there again for my next trip to Beijing in Nov.

     there is no longer departure tax at any Chinese airport for international or domestic flights, you will now see it already on your ticket

     Funny that you mentioned the starbucks in the forbidden city. My friends think it is terrible that starbucks is there. But I think it is ok; if you're gonna have vendors in there, why not american coffee? ALSO-ap tax not gone,it's just in ticket price

     The airport tax was scrapped as of 2005.
