Kaohsiung Business Pulse

  • Culture Industrial, pragmatic, and more relaxed than Taipei. A major port and manufacturing hub.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Reach out between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Kaohsiung business is practical and trade-oriented. While hierarchy is respected, the vibe can be slightly more informal than in Taipei. Avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch and rest window strictly for all professional calls.

Shanghai Business Pulse

  • Culture Highly competitive and fast-paced. Business is often conducted with a mix of modern efficiency and traditional "Guanxi" (relationships).
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Nap time is common).
  • Pro Tip Respect the 12-1 PM lunch and rest window; lights are often dimmed in offices for naps. The best time to call is between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Avoid calling during major public holidays like Golden Week or Lunar New Year, as business comes to a complete halt.
