I've read posts about spending money for this trip and from what I can gather it is recommended that x amount in currency and £200 - £300 in clean twenty pound notes. I don't have a problem with this, my question is one of security. If I have this amount of cash on my person do you have any suggestions about carrying it, handbag / back pack seems a bit insecure as you could lose it or worse still stolen, in general do you think touring travellers tend to use money belts? I realise this sounds a bit churlish and I'm not overly concerned I'm just trying to cover all aspects and buy the right type of travel accessories.

Many thanks, Shirley

In the past I have always found money belts a good way to transport currency when travelling. But I would also say that China is one of the safest countries you could visit and I would be surprised if you have any trouble while you are there.
