Shenzhen offers currency exchange at banks (Bank of China, China Merchants Bank), airports, train stations, and luxury hotels. Bank of China provides the best rates (within 0.5% of the official rate). Smaller kiosks may charge higher fees. Use Alipay/WeChat for digital payments, ATMs linked to major banks, and avoid illegal money changers. Reserve for large amounts, check airport hours, and consider Deep China Travel for assistance. Exchange back at BOC before departure.
