Cultural Background

中文

在中国,问路通常使用礼貌用语,如“请问”、“您好”。 小吃街通常指汇聚各种小吃摊位的街道,种类丰富,价格相对便宜。 不同地区的小吃街叫法可能有所不同,例如台湾地区称夜市。

在询问方向时,可以结合一些地标,例如“邮局”、“银行”等,更容易让人理解。

English

In China, it's customary to use polite phrases like “请问” (qǐngwèn) and “您好” (nín hǎo) when asking for directions. A snack street (小吃街 - xiǎochī jiē) typically refers to a street filled with various snack vendors, offering a wide variety of food at relatively inexpensive prices. The name for a snack street might vary in different regions. For instance, in Taiwan, it's known as a “夜市” (yèshì). It's helpful to use landmarks such as “post office”, “bank”, etc., when asking for directions to enhance understanding.
