Cultural tips
In China, post offices are not only for sending mail, packages, payments or buying postcards and stamps, but also are where people can pay their phone bills, open savings accounts and get other personal savings services. After years of development, postal savings has become an important part of China's retail financial markets. In recent years, with the improvement of living standards, post offices are also continuously expanding their businesses. For example, when the traditional Chinese festival-- the Mid-Autumn arrives, people can order mooncakes directly at post offices and send them to their distant friends and relatives for a holiday blessing.
