In China, credit card is not expected in a lot of places, especially in some remote area. When we arrived in Tibet, we found it was such an mysterious and attractive place. Apart from the highlights arranged for us in the itinerary, we wanted to visit more places there. We asked our agency arraned that for us. But the way of payment became a big problem. We did not take enough cash with us, but the local agent in Lhasa could not accept the credit card. At last, we found the a Bank of China and withdrew the cash to pay the tour.

Also in the big cities, credit card is also not accepted in a lot of places, only the major hotels and restaurants and shopping malls.
