入乡随俗 (rù xiāng suí sú )
Literally, it means to enter a village, to follow the custom.
The English equivalent would be: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
I am sure there are many other sayings in other languages which mean the same thing; nonethelss, I was surprised to discover this saying in Chinese. Goes to show how limited my Chinese vocab is.
