Changing Money
Changing Dollars, Euros, Pounds, Yen (Japan), and Wan (Korea) into RMB (人民币) is easy and can be done at any Bank of China. Changing RMB into foreign currency, however, is a little harder. According to law, banks are not allowed change RMB into foreign currency for foreigners. There are two ways to get around this:
 
1:
Find a Chinese friend. He/she should be able to do it at Bank of China with his/her government I.D.
  
2:
In many of the banks you can find a person who will “unofficially” change your money. Usually there are people in banks who sit around with a big bag full of money (for better or worse). Although it’s “unofficial”, it’s not exactly a secret, so you can usually just ask a security guard or bank employee where to find one of these people. While it may not seem worthwhile, these people will make enough of a profit from exchange rates eventually, so it works for both parties. 
 
Note: The Bank of China has many branches all over Shenyang. Ask a taxi driver, police man, or traffic director for “zhōng guó yín háng .” (中国银行)
