How to change money in China?
You can withdraw money at an ATM from deposit cards. If possible, take several cards from different banks and use ATMs of China Bank or ICBC China Bank, which accurately accept foreign cards. Some banks do not charge additional fees for cash withdrawals in another country, please check this information with your bank.
You can take cash currency with you, you can buy Chinese yuan in the bank of your country in advance, because in China it is not always easy to change dollars or euros at a favorable rate. Be prepared for the fact that the exchange process is accompanied by time-consuming and additional paperwork.
