Tips

culture
Heard at the door of almost every shop, restaurant and hotel, often as a recorded voice that plays when the door opens. 光临 is a respectful word for a guest's coming, so the phrase thanks customers for honoring the place with a visit. Customers don't answer it. On the way out staff may say 慢走 (take care).
