– “There is no need to tip in Mainland China, unless someone has gone out of
the way to provide exceptional service,” said Lisa Coulombe, Sales Executive,
(Nikko) Jinglun Hotel, Beijing. Tipping in Hong Kong is another story.
According to Christine Yue, Public Relations Manager, Hotel Nikko Hong Kong,
“hotels and most restaurants automatically add a 10 percent service charge - an
additional five percent may be added as a tip. If no service charge has been
included, a 10 percent tip is acceptable.”
