China Travel Tip...




American Express is known- in most countries- as the company supplying the best exchange rate.

Not so in China- in China, the best exchange rate is had by exchanging cash for yuan (renminbi) within the country itself; you get the "official" rate to within 3 decimal places. AMEX gives you the rate to within 2.

That's the beauty of state owned banks...
