I just got back from there. the mass transportation is great.The subway is in english and is easy to figure out. If you can the busses are only in chinese. The Green taxis are the best. the blue we had problems with .don't always rely on directions so ask many people along the way. out of area the train is good. we went to hong kong.it is a little pricey,but think in 15 cents U.S. to the 1.00 yuan. food was great and found that the little hole in the wall had the best b-b-q pork. carry toilet paper an klenex. regular toilets are there but mostly at the hotel.most hotels are fairly resonable but look around. watch your purse and carry your wallet in you front pocket. I heard that the long distant busses are good, didn,t ride on one.when in a taxi be prepared for very weird driving,, you will see. that is just the way they do it . Get your money exchanged.best is at a bank ..rate today is 6.83 to us dollar. you will get a little less.if you lose your exit visa paper they have extra at airport.drink bottle water,(is Best) and have a great time,i did.
