Fee Free Chinese ATM's

  If things haven't changed, the ATMs are fee-free for foreign withdrawals if you use your trusty Citibank debit card.

  Ironically the one place I had to walk looking for an ATM last year was in the tourist centre of Beijing! Maybe only 200-300 metres but completely unexpected (I had to walk to the post office).

  According to finder.com.au, "You can use your Westpac Group card at Bank of Nanjing ATMs and you won’t pay for international ATM withdrawals." (https://www.finder.com.au/travel-money/china-hong-kong#atm)

  P.S. Do not rely on the internet for anything. The internet as we know it is banned (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Websites_blocked_in_mainland_C…). They even crack down on VPNs so you need to find one that works when you're there.

  I wasn't prepared when I left Australia and had trouble with Gmail, Facebook etc asking where the hell am I.

  Download every authenticator app (Google, Microsoft etc) and website-specific app availble.
