Hello,

I have some questions about much money I should bring to China and how to obtain it. My trip will last about 23 days. This is my first time in China and will be entering the country at Beijing. I will have a 3 hour layover there before flying to my final destination at Guangzhou. I will be meeting and traveling with a Chinese native from there on. Is Beijing Airport a good place to purchase some yuan? Is the exchange rate fair at this location? If not what other locations would you suggest?
I will be using my Bank debit card to make this transaction. The banks at my local location in the USA seem to be a little steep and I was hoping I could get yuan my first day in China instead of before I leave.

EDIT: I have a Visa Credit and Debit Card

Thank you for your help!
