Current exchange rates in China

Bank of America is showing $0.1645 on their site (equivalent of y6.07). This seems low to me. I called them and asked what rate i would get charged at an ATM right now through China Construction Bank and they said they couldn't tell me (???)... anyway. What is a good rate currently to exchange at? I see posts on here from 2006-2007 when people were getting 7.98, which means market rate was probably around 8.25-8.5. Market rate today is 6.82, so i would expect to get 6.25-6.4 maybe. Just trying to figure out if I should take mostly USD to exchange or plan to use ATM.
