Hong Kong Etiquette

You’ll find an eclectic blend of Western and Asian cultures at work in Hong Kong - so expect to come across some ever so slightly mixed up customs. For example tipping isn’t commonplace when taking a taxi, though you will often find that hotels and restaurants will add a 10% service charge - while hotel porters generally expect a tip of at least HK$10.

In contrast to nearby China - it isn’t obligatory to bow, instead it’s commonplace to shake hands - whether with men, women or children - it is common practise. Though like their Chinese neighbours - Hong Kong Chinese are well known for asking personal questions - politely decline if you’d rather not divulge.
