Chinese is my mother tongue, below is my personal experience and based on different top 10 major cities in China.
Typically to address people is 你好 direct translate to "You Good" or same meaning as Hello.
You can address people "informally" as 靓仔 "beautiful boy" or 靓女 "beautiful girl" that most likely they would like to hear. Try do this for those for less than 50 years else they will feel that you are mocking them. Unless they just look like Keanu Reeves.
Try out to learn from google translate for correct pronunciation else or it might carry different meaning.
