Hi,

I am travelling to China later in the year and was wondering if you can spend US Dollars or is it better to have renembi?

Thanks

Hello Kateo,

Many thanks for your post.

Here is some information from our China country dossier that may help:
The Imaginative Traveller Recommends: Bring a combination of cash and traveller's cheques (either US$ or GB£). Notes should be blemish free. Scottish pound notes are not recognised.

It is very easy to change money at the airport on arrival in Beijing, but not so convenient in Beijing itself. Given that exchange rates are the same throughout the country it is advisable to change some money at the airport, particularly if you arrive on a weekend or if your tour leaves the city the next morning.

Thanks

Kate
