Quirky little things about China stand out:
Not many people other than occasional 20-somethings speak English, and when they do it often loses something in translation. Our tour group put their cumulative heads together and decided the sign on the left meant "Be respectful when taking pictures." A translation app on my iPad bailed me out of several impossible situations. I also found that carrying both a map in Chinese and in English was effective. I could find my destination on the English one, then point to it on the Chinese map, so even non English speaking people could get the idea of where I wanted to go. This stood out also.
