Table Napkins and Toilet Paper
There is a "do whatever" attitude towards toilet rolls, tissues and the like in China. It is all called paper (zhi, pronounced jrr) and none of the various varieties seem to have a set purpose. Toilet rolls can be found on the tables of lower-market restaurants, or perhaps a box of facial tissues, for wiping the mouth and hands; while middle-to-upper-range restaurants often supply small plastic wallets of tissues, one or two per table, to be passed round and paid for at the end of the meal. Table napkins are very seldom seen.
Toilets, apart from in the more expensive restaurants, usually don't have toilet paper, so remember to bring your own. Plastic packets of 10 tissues can be bought outside most public toilets. Soap, paper towels and hand dryers are also only found in the more upmarket places.
Another word of warning about toilets. They are usually of the squat-over-a-bowl-set-in-the-floor-style. Usually your hotel will have the Western sit-on toilet option for rooms. Some public toilets (presumably plumbed with small bore pipes) provide waste paper baskets for used toilet paper so the toilets don't get blocked. You may want to brace yourself before entering, or even steer clear of, bus station, train station and other heavily used public toilets. Sometimes the cubicles have no doors, flushing systems are primitive or not functioning, and cleaning is only daily.
