Its traditional to give cash at chinese weddings.

ask them if they are registered - you can't go wrong that way.

In that region Gold is very much appreciated and usually given to the bride and should be a a pure yellow variety usually 18-21k American gold is not much appreciated around the world because it has low carat and is not yellow as it should be. Also tea is a part of both of there cultures so you may consider a high quality tea service set. This will be much appreciated and held onto for many years especially if it is a good quality. No doubt they will have many visitors after the wedding and it will come in handy.

Cash is a traditional gift in Asian countries. I would stick some cash in a red envelope and give it to them at the wedding. Putting cash in a red envelope is traditional for the Chinese. Remember, also, that four is an unlucky number, anything but four items is good, eight is ok, too. White is a symbol of death, as are picture frames, knives and clocks.
