Business Hours Government stipulated working days are from Monday to Friday. Stores usually remain open every day, including public holidays. Monuments and museums usually are open seven days a week. Restaurants and bars stay open later at night. Some open-air restaurants even stay open into the small hours.
Times are approximate and subject to local variations.
In western China, for example, because of time difference with the Beijing time, offices often open later. The People's Republic of China is the third-largest country in the world after Russia and Canada. Drinking Water Bottled mineral water, sold around 3 yuan, is widely available in all stores and street kiosks and sometimes provided free by the hotel. Potable water is available only at a few best hotels, so visitors should always ask to make sure. Water in thermos bottles in rooms is non-potable tap water.
