How important is giving hospitality to friends/strangers in your culture?
It is very important to be hospitable in Chinese culture. We always pay extra attention to making people feel at home when they visit us. We believe that it is a sign of courtesy (= politeness), and we should make sure that people feel as comfortable as possible. In the countryside, it is very common for farmers to offer tea to people who pass by. I visited many old villages in Fujian and Guizhou, and I was always well received by the locals when I asked them for directions. Chinese people are usually very welcoming.
