Currency

[teddygirl]

I am going to China 11th October
Can you please tell me what currency I require, is it Yuan, can I get it before I go, or is it restricted to China. As all my meals are included in the holiday, would you be able suggest how much currency I would require, for general day to day costs.

Hi Teddygirl
Yes, you will need yuan for China. You can buy this in the UK, which is probably a good idea.
All of your meals and excursions are included in the holiday so you won't need a lot of spending money. I would take a minimum of around £20-30 per day but do take more if you are someone who likes to spend.
If you take your debit/credit card, you can always withdraw more money from the cashpoints there (but let you bank /card issuer know if you plan to do this.
Kind regards,
