11. Trespass with confidence
11，大胆地走进去
Accustomed to the idea of private property, international travelers are often reluctant to stray from worn footpaths into lanes and hutongs for fear of intruding. But that's not how the Chinese see things. All of these outdoor areas are public spaces, and lanes and alleys hold some of the most captivating scenes in China's big cities.
国际游客习惯于私有财产的观念，常常不愿走进小巷和胡同等地方，觉得这样有非法入侵之嫌。但中国人却没有这样的想法，所有的户外地方都是公共空间，小街小巷里常常隐藏着中国大城市里最能打动人心的风景。
12. Don't be fooled by loud voices
12，不要被大声说话所蒙骗
Chinese people like to converse very loudly and passionately at times, and it can be easy to mistake this for an argument. Listening in to a heated discussion in Shanghai between a taxi driver and a Chinese friend I thought they were about to come to blows. "No, " they told me. "We were just talking together about how devastating the Sichuan earthquake was."
有时中国人喜欢大声而激动地说话，你很容易误认为他们是在争吵。在上海的时候我听到一位出租车司机和一位中国朋友在热烈地谈论某事，我以为他们就要打起来了。“没事，”他们告诉我，“我们只是在说四川的地震造成多大的破坏。”
13. Need help? Find a high school student
13，需要帮助时可以去找一位高中生
The array of Mandarin dialects and variations across China can make communication difficult even for native Mandarin speakers. But help is always at hand: those under 25 years old are most likely to speak both standard Mandarin and English. Students who have studied English in books for years, but have had little contact with native English speakers, may more readily understand written questions.
即便对于一位说普通话的中国人来说，中国各地各种带口音的普通话也会造成沟通的困难。但是求助往往很方便——那些年龄小于25岁的人很有可能会说标准的普通话和英语。学习书本英语多年但缺乏与西方人实际交流经验的学生，更容易理解你用笔写下来的问题。
14. Make a hometown connection
14，让人知道你来自何方
Learn the name of your country's most famous landmark for beaming instant recognition from taxi drivers, waiters and the man on the street. Tip: Eiffel Tower is "ai fei'er tie ta, " Statue of Liberty is "zi you nv shen xiang" and Great Barrier Reef is "da bao jiao."
学会用中文说你本国最著名的地标建筑，这样可以马上得到出租车司机、服务员和街上路人的接受和认同。比如学会说“埃菲尔铁塔、自由女神像、大堡礁”等等。
15. Get a backstreet breakfast
15，到小街上去吃早饭
In order to get some local color on business trips that will otherwise be spent inside taxis and boardrooms, "take to the backstreets behind your hotel for an early breakfast of dumplings or noodles and watch the area wake up while you eat, " suggests Australian business traveler Matthew Tobin.
澳大利亚商务旅客马修.托宾说，你的商务旅行常常是在出租车和会议室里度过的。为了使你的旅行多一点当地色彩，你可以早早地到你下榻酒店背后的小街上去吃早饭，一边吃着饺子面条等当地食品，一边看着你周围的城市苏醒过来。
16. Enhance wellness
16，增进身心健康
Want to unblock your qi? Hit up a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinic. Illness isn't an essential requirement -- TCM doctors believe preventing disease is just as important as treating it. "TCM is ingrained in Chinese culture, " says Canadian Leslie Bottrell, who is trained in both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The best gear investments to make before coming to China are an excellent camera bag and polarizing filter, according to professional photographer and frequent China traveler Roger D'Souza. "China is very dusty and hard on photo gear, so a good bag that's well sealed but also accessible is essential." The Australian photographer also suggests using a polarizing filter to cut through China's frequent smog. "If there is any blue in the sky this will make it appear more vibrant, " he says.
