As the saying goes, habits differ within a radius of ten miles and customs within a hundred miles. Therefore, if you travel thousands of miles you will find a huge difference in ways of living.


Huge number of customs have become established over the centuries through man generations' observance. Today these customs have become permanent traditions, ingrained in society as an integral part of Chinese culture.
