In this second section of visitors info we deal with money, shopping and transportation. The Chinese currency is called 'Renminbi', which means 'people's currency'. The basic unit is the yuan (colloquially called 'kuai'), which is divided into ten jiao (or 'mao'), which is in turn divided into 10 fen. The largest notes are 100 yuan. The exchange rate averages between 8.80-8.90 Renminbi per US Dollar.
