You can exchange your traveler’s cheques 
and foreign currency when you arrive either at the airport or at a bank 
cash center. Remember to have your passport with you as you will have to
 show it for any transactions. RMB is only usable in China, so don’t 
exchange too much cash into RMB, when you are leaving make sure you have
 your original exchange receipt so that you can change it back to your 
home currency. The original receipt is to prove that you are simply 
exchanging money that went unspent.
Counterfeit money: check money when you are 
receiving it back from anywhere other than the bank. RMBs have a 
watermark and a distinct color, often counterfeit money is not quite the
 same color. As well counterfeit money is not usually able to replicate 
the Braille dots on the front side of the yuan.
