    Die offizielle Währung in China ist der Renminbi mit der Einheit Yuan, abgekürzt CNY. You can use US dollars, Euros, English pounds in hotels, in friendship stores, to buy things from vendors in the scenic spots, to pay for any optional tours and to tip porters of the hotels, tour guides and drivers or whomever you want to tip. Die Bezahlung Ihrer Einkäufe in Kaufhäusern, kleineren Läden, lokalen Restaurants oder bei Straßenverkäufern muss jedoch in der Landeswährung erfolgen.

    Stromspannung:

    Die Netzspannung in China beträgt 220 Volt Wechselspannung mit 50 Hz. Es ist ein Wandler notwendig. Die meisten chinesischen Hotels bieten in den Badezimmern Steckdosen mit 110 Volt und 220 Volt, während in den Gästezimmern für gewöhnlich nur Steckdosen mit 220 Volt verfügbar sind. We recommend you bring a universal travel adaptor for electric devices.
