Extra Travel Tips

Mix Cash & Mobile Pay – While major cities are mobile-payment heavy (Alipay, WeChat Pay), cash is still essential for street vendors, taxis, rural areas, and smaller shops. Carry ¥50 and ¥100 notes for convenience.

Use CNY in China, not AUD – Always pay in Chinese Yuan to avoid poor exchange rates and hidden conversion fees. Most vendors won’t accept foreign currency.

Watch ATM Fees – Foreign cards may incur withdrawal fees. For better transparency, use ATMs at China Post, Bank of China, or 7-Eleven locations.
