available in some tourist aspects.

Shanghai, especially the airports, scenic spots

Most banks in Shanghai provide currency exchange
service.
Special note: For foreigners, please
pay special attention that the RMB is not a free-exchange
currency. You can change USD to RMB freely in China
but the reserve exchange (RMB to USD) is restricted.
If you want to change the remaining RMB back to
USD, do keep the exchange receipt with you. RMB
to USD exchange is not accepted without your original
receipt.
FAQ about currency exchange:
Q: What is the USA dollar exchange rate into
Chinese RMB?
A: Currency exchange rate always changes,
as in any place in the world. The change rate varies
every day. However, the counter's rate does not
change as frequent as the online transaction. It
reports the rate of that day every morning and the
rate is displayed at the counter - see the big screen
with red characters - it is the exchange rate display
board. Check the current exchange rate online at
http://www.bank-of-china.com/en/static/index.html.
Please note that there should be a very slight difference
between the online rate and the rate at the counter
- the former is refreshed in real time and the later
is refreshed once per day.
Q:What is the USA dollar limit I can exchange
at the bank? $1000, $2000, $3000?, etc
A:The USD to RMB exchange limitation is 200,000
USD (Two hundred thousand USD) for both local residents
or foreigners. Exchanging above that limit need
to be reported to the Foreign Currency Exchange
Administration and waiting for approval and register.
I think the limit should be OK for you, but you
still need to check if you need to claim the cash
at custom if you bring too much money. The limit
applyies to exchange in cash.
You also need to pay attention that although you
can exchange your USD to RMB, withdrawing cash over
50,000 RMB (Fifty thousand RMB) needs appointment
in advance. Otherwise, you need to create an account
in the bank and withdraw it later in other branch
offices after you make the appointment.
Q: Any service charge of the banks in Shanghai?
A: Mostly no.
