Currency

The currency in China is Ren-Min-Bi (RMB). If you check the exchange rate from the bank or a currency converter website, the unit shown on the board is Chinese-Yuan, which is abbreviated as CNY.

 Except at the International Airports and some tourist-oriented shops in the city, you cannot expect to pay with any other currency than RMB. You may exchange your home country currency for RMB at most banks or at special foreign exchange bureaus, which are easily recognized by their signs. 

Credit Cards

Major credit cards such as Visa and Master cards are accepted in most of the hotels and big shops. However, it is strongly advised that alternative payment should be made available in case there might be any difficulties. 

ATM Machines

ATM machines can be found outside banks, in the lobby of hotels, and by the entrance of many big shops. They accept most international credit cards.
