Money / Currency / Credit Cards

China's currency is the Renminbi (RMB), usually called the "Yuan". 1Yuan = 10Jiao (in 1, 2 & 5) = 100 Fen (in 1, 2 & 5). In China, foreign exchange is under the control of the Bank of China, so all the hotels have foreign exchange, which offers similar rate to the Banks. The official exchange rate is around USD 1= RMB 8.08 Yuan. Hong Kong's currency is the Hong Kong dollar, whilst Macao’s is the Pataca. Both currencies are worth 7% more than the Renminbi.

Visa, Master Card, American Express, Diners Club, Federal Card and JCB credit cards are accepted at most hotels and state-run shops in the major cities. Travelers should be prepared to pay in Yuan when shopping in smaller shops, restaurants, and in smaller hotels.
