I went to BOC ATMs but unable to withdraw cash (don't know why they're unable to rcoognise my cards), went to some other banks with the Cirrus sign but unabale to withdraw cash (unable to recognise my card), been to construction bank & BOC and unable to withdraw cash cos teller ran out of cash. Been to KTV, they accept master cards but was unable to read my card also, so I feel that it's safer that you carry cash instaed of relying on your credit card. At most ATM you're able to withdraw up to RMB２，０００　(each transaction)ｂｕｔ　ａｔ　ＢＯＣ　ＡＴＭ　ｎｏｗ　ｙｏｕ　ｃａｎ　ｗｉｔｈｄｒａｗ　ｕｐ　ｔｏ　ＲＭＢ2,500 each time now.

However, it is not wise to carry a huge amount of money. That is not safe. If you want to buy something valuable, the credit card is your choice. Very conenvient.

Credit cards are not widely used in China for everyday commodities and should you have a problem with your card you are 'up a creek without a paddle' here for the long term. Open local account-makes like simple
