Bedeutung
Asks for the opening time of a place.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Many public services and small shops have a midday break ({午休|wǔxiū}) from 12:00 to 14:00. Even if they are 'open,' staff may be resting. Shops in Hong Kong often open much later than in other parts of the world, sometimes not until 11:00 AM or noon, but they stay open very late. Night markets ({夜市|yèshì}) are a huge part of the culture. They 'open' in the late afternoon, usually around 5:00 PM. Being the first customer of the day is sometimes considered lucky for the shopkeeper, and they might be more inclined to give a small discount.
Add 'Qingwen'

The 'Boss' Rule
When asking a small shop owner, address them as {老板|lǎobǎn} (Boss) for a friendlier interaction.
