Business appointment when doing business in China

The best times for scheduling appointments are April to June and September to October. Business and government hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. There is, however, a five-day workweek in larger cities.

Store hours are 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., daily. Most stores in Shanghai, however, remain open until 10:00 p.m. Most Chinese workers take a break between 12:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m.

When scheduling your appointments, be sensitive to holidays such as Chinese New Year; many businesses will be closed during this period. The date of this occasion varies from year to year.
