[quote=DESTRUCKDOZ,248601]Deanouk, TP is Toilet Paper. Arie, if you live in the United States, you could get Yuan and other currencies before you depart if you have an account with a major bank such as Bank of America, its completely free. They send the currency to your home (with confirmation) or you could pick it up at which ever bank branch is closest to you which is safer, but keep in mind that you get the exchange rate the day you place the order for your currency. To answer your question, I personally never saw American Express in anything other than one or two hotels when I was there. I am not sure if American Express does the same, but when my group and I rented a hotel room in Hong Kong, there was a surcharge of 2-3 percent for using a visa credit card abroad. This may be a little bit too much in a post but since it sounds like your first time to china and there will be things I will do different on my next trip to china that I will tell about my trip so that you may benefit from my mistakes.
