Where are you going in China?

Generally, GBP cash and TCs would both be fine to bring, but TCs are more troublesome to exchange than cash.

If you have an ATM (preferably debit) card with the logo(s) Maestro/Cirrus/Plus/Visa/Mastercard on them, bring those and get RMB cash out directly from ATMs here which accept these cards.

we are going to Beijing, Chengde and Xian its only for 10 days

If you have an ATM card as detailed above then I think that would be the most convenient, followed by GBP cash.

thank you

Similar story, were are going to Beijing in a week, I have a Bank of America Debit card, which according to their Web Site I can get free ATM use with ';China Construction Bank';... anyone know if this is a large bank in Beijing with many branches or affiliated ATM machines?

Not the biggest, but quite major enough. :)

thanks ellyse

You%26#39;re welcome, glad to be of help. :)
