- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a casual professional environment (lots of tech-casual wear). Networking often happens over coffee; many locals are flexible with virtual meeting times but value their time in nature, so avoid late evening or weekend intrusions.

- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM for the quickest decisions. This is the fastest-paced city in China; expect your contacts to value speed and efficiency above all else. Avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch/nap window. Respond to follow-ups immediately to maintain momentum.
