It’s possible, although I can’t be for sure. Also, was the other website talking about the new airport or the old one?

My advice remains the same: exchange a little bit at the airport for emergencies and to get a taxi to your hotel, then use ATMs to get your cash.

thanks for your infomation.

I saw on another website that advise something else. In particular, that the best way to change money in Beijing is, with the best rate and No exchanGe FEES:
– from the Bank of China(BOC) branch in the Beijing airport’s arrival area, just before the exit of the arrivals gate and enter the terminal.

Instead changing at a BOC branch in the city does not change the rate but will be exchnage FEES!

From your experience, Can you please clarify these info.? Are they correct?

They absolutely do. It may not be a separate charge, but the exchange rate is terrible at the airport.

A Chinese bank should still accept them, but if I were you (unless it’s a lot of money), I would hold onto the cash as it might become a collectible.

It depends on how much money. Smaller amounts can be sent via a service called Swapsy (as long as she has WeChat or Alipay). Otherwise, if it’s larger amounts she’ll need to go through a Chinese bank, which isn’t nearly as easy.

I recommend using your debit card as long as you know your PIN number.
