[quote=MAY001,232180]#1 - How big a wad of money can be displayed without offending the average Chinese person or exciting pickpockets and thieves. 
When you are in the city, I believe it's better to have less than one thousand RMB in your wallet. Do have some one yuan, 5 yuan and ten yuans in your pocket.

#2 - Is it fair to say that creditcards and traveler's checks may have limited value outside of the center of a city?
Yes, if you want are in some villages, they are useless at most of the time.

#3 - If I change money once upon arrival in each major city (money for 3-4 days), will I be carrying too much cash?
I think it's ok to pocket money for 3 to 4 days. Just be careful and keep an eye to your values.

#4 - Will a few USD $1 & $5 notes have any use in the countryside if I run out of RMB?
If you are in a tourist destination, it might work. But USD is not ALLOWED to circulate in China.

#5 - Because I am arriving in Hong Kong and will need HK$ for a day, I am wondering if HK$s spend in the rest of China or if that money must be converted too. 
No, HK dollar doesn't work in mainland China. But rmb works in HK. :)
