Money Matters

Money can be exchanged at Wuhan International Airport, at branch offices of the Bank of China, and at most hotels in the city. Exchange rates fluctuate in line with international financial market conditions and are published daily by the State Exchange Control Administration. Branches of the Bank of China have currency boards presenting the real-time exchange rates. So make sure to ask about the rates before exchanging money. Rates at hotels may be a little higher than those at the Bank of China. Some hotels only exchange currency for their guests.

Keep your currency exchange receipts because you will need to show them when you change RMB back to your own currency at the end of your visit.
