There are some places in China that will not be too friendly to any other currency. Your choices to use or exchange foreign currency, is greatly reduced on Saturday and Sunday, after the banks close for the day. Except if, you have USA dollars. .

This as a lot more conveneint that travellers cheques if you are only visiting cities. Bank of China allows international transactions from Debit Cards.
