Guiyang Travel
Information
Banking
When
traveling in Guizhou, you need to have Chinese yuan--RMB.
Guiyang
is the capital city of Guizhou, so it seems the best place to exchange
money.
At some high level hotels, you can exchange few hundred US dollar
in cash such as Howard Johnson Plaza, Ramada Plaza Hotel, but it's
only for the guests who stay overnight at the hotel, the amount
is limited, and it seems not the best place if you want to exchange
more money or if you only have card, not cash, you have to go to
the Bank of China.
The Bank
of China in Guiyang has the serivce of exchanging US dollar and
Euro, and usually there is a ATM outside the bank, but the transportation
in Guiyang is a problem, not easy to park the car, so to choose
which Bank of China seems important.
The Bank
of China on the Dusi Road is the largest Bank of China in Guiyang
city, and you can get RMB from your cards such as Visa card, Marster
card, JCB from this bank, it's the much better place to go. But
remember not to expect the high quality or very good serive from
the Bank of China, usually the bank of China's service speed is
very slow, and this is too common in most banks in China, everywhere
in China looks nearly the same.
Now many
maijor cities in Guizhou have the Bank of China where you can exchange
money such as Kaili, Xinyi.
When you stay at the Guiyang airport, if you don't have time to
go to the bank in the city to exchange money, and you only have
Visa card, you may try to get the money by your card, there is a
ATM at the airport.
