Often, especially for Japanese women, are more pale comparing to a Chinese women because the country of Japan is up north more. Chinese women from the south are more tan-looking. Facial skin color varies at times.

Many (as far as from my family) can tell by their accent, attitude, gesture movements, their eyes' shape, size, and how the eye is located like on the face; and sometimes people can tell the difference from their noses.

While they are very similar, Japanese will have a few small characters of Hiragana that you won't see in Chinese.

Japanese has three alphabets. Kanji - Chinese characters. Hiragana - their own characters Kanji - Chinese characters. Hiragana - their own characters. Katakana - characters mostly used to spell or sound out English words, or words from other languages.  

With Chinese... Every character is like a mini picture on it's own.

Example of Japanese - 今日は、私は二コールです。

Do you see how in amongst the Kanji characters, there are small ones that look easier?? In this sentence there is はand です

This word here 二コールis the Katakana. It says "Nicole"

How are Japanese and Chinese writing different?

Japanese kanji and Chinese characters are very much the same. Japanese has 3 alphabets- hiragana (which is used for everyday writing), katakana (used for English words like "terebi" which is television), and kanji which is used instead of hiragana for nouns and adjectives etc. However, Chinese only have kanji, although they call it something else. The reason they are so alike is because the Japanese borrowed that alphabet off the Chinese, so a lot of Chinese characters will have the same meaning as Japanese kanji, although they will be pronounced differently.
