I don't think he cares about impressing anyone - he just doesn't want to be offensive.
And he doesn't plan to spend his vacation in shorts. I'm pretty sure that after living in Manhattan for 40 years he understands that some clothing is appropriate for walking around and other clothing is better for dining.

Women do wear shorts in China but ALWAYS with pantyhose. You will not see women with bare feet or bare legs, regardless of temperature.

not now.
Have noticed that most have a slight bow in the tibia. Not sure if this is
from diet or genes, but appears to be quite common.

They're more prone to pickup on that kind of thing. Also, I haven't seen women with painted toenails. You'll see finger nails done, but my wife has had a few comments on the toenails. OK, so I'm sure it's not ALWAYS, but it seems to more more the norm than not for sure. Even women wearing long pants and open shoes seem to wear hose or something on their feet. Is that a sun prevention thing?

Not Hose ...
most of the women wear panty socks even when wearing a short skirt/dress 
so if you want to fit in as a man ...don't wear shorts, wear long pants with a fake belt tuck your tshirt in the pants and hold a Man-bag between your armpits!

I remember when these "solar visors" became popular.
