China visit

[carless]

We are going to China at the end of Sept on a group holiday. Can anyone who has been there give me any advice or tips especialy regarding the currency and how much spends we will need. Also what is the best way to purchase and carry the money, ie travelers cheques, cash, credit card, US dollars or a mixture

We went in march 2006 on a 10 day tour. We took a nationwide credit card (as you get no charges) and some money, we had no probs. Can�t remember how much we took now.
Another tip: The chinese is food was very nice and there was plenty of it but by the end of 10 days we were sick of it. Take some snack bars, cup a soups etc���. and some chocolate��.they only have fruit (apple and orange cut up) for dessert. I love my desserts so I missed them alot.
If you have a chance to have a experience a full body Chinese massage �do it. It was about �12 when I had one, you wouldn't get one over here for that money.
Hope that helps.
