Money
Renminbi (RMB) is the legal currency in China, including Tibet. You can change money or cash travelers’ checks at the Bank of China in Tibet.
In addition, some upscale hotels such as Lhasa Hotel, the former Holiday Inn, and Tibet Hotel also provide the money exchange service. The bank is open from 9:30 am to 1 pm from Monday to Friday. The Bank of China Shigatse office, near the Shigatse Hotel, can provide travelers’ checks exchange services also.
