chinese currency

[buffbex]

i am going to china in 3 weeks, can anyone advise me as to the best way to go about getting money? US dollars? travellers cheques? get it when im there?

I spent a month in China, and withdrew all money out of ATM's when I was there. I didn't take travellers cheques or US dollars or anything like that.

Be aware that there are a lot of ATM's, but about half can only be used if you have a Chinese bank account.

That said, I never had a problem getting hold of money from ATM's. There was always enough 'international' ATM's.

Agree with above. If you feel you need to take cash to change, sterling is OK for exchange.
