Chengdu Business Pulse
- Culture Known for a better work-life balance than the coast. "Lively and relaxed".
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Chengdu business is famous for being done over local tea or spicy Sichuan food; if on a video call, keep the atmosphere warm and friendly. Personal rapport is more important here than in the high-pressure coastal cities like Shenzhen.
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.
