Q: MONEY -- What other types of expenses should I plan for while in the city of Nanchang?
A: Entertainment in Nanchang is generally inexpensive. Transportation options include the public bus (which costs 1 RMB (US$.125) per ride) and as well as taxi service, which costs 6 RMB (US$.75) for short distances and up to 30 RMB (US$3.75) to go across town or downtown. Many students also opt to buy bicycles while they are in China. Bicycles are the most prevalent mode of transport in Nanchang and the flat topography makes Nanchang an ideal city for this type of transportation. New bicycles can be purchased for around 200 RMB (US$25).

Q: MONEY -- How can I get or exchange money while I am in Nanchang?
A: You may bring money with you, either in the form of cash or traveler's checks. ATM machines are available at limited Bank of China and CITIC Industrial Bank locations (downtown), or cash advances can be drawn over the counter at most large banks for a transaction charge. Major hotels and most fine restaurants and stores now accept credit cards. Students enrolling for longer courses may wish to open a bank account through the Industrial & Commercial Bank near campus and transfer funds from accounts in their home country. Or we can help you to exchange if you want.
