Currency Exchange

The currency in circulation in China is the Chinese yuan, or RMB yuan, which is not a freely convertible currency. There are also certain rules on restriction of foreign exchange which should be available in the information of Chinese Customs on entry and exit. The international standard abbreviation sign of RMB Yuan is CNY. 1 CNY consists of 10 Jiao (dimes) or 100 Fen (cents). The denominations of the Chinese yuan in bank notes are 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. Participants can exchange major free convertible foreign currencies for RMB yuan at the airports, major hotels and banks in China. Currently, 1 USD can be exchanged for about 6.4 CNY.
