2026년 중국에서 현금으로 결제할 수 있나요?
Last updated:
⚠️ SYMPTOM
중국 여행 전체에 알ipay/WeChat Pay만으로 충분한지, 아니면 위안화 현금을 가져가야 할지 궁금합니다.
🔍 MOST LIKELY CAUSE
대도시는 90% 이상이 현금 없는 결제가 가능하지만, 시골 지역, 택시, 노점 음식점, 일부 박물관에서는 여전히 위안화 현금이 필요합니다.
✓ HOW TO FIX
백업용으로 ¥500–¥1,000 정도의 현금을 휴대하세요. 외국에서 발급한 Visa/Mastercard를 사용하여 Bank of China, ICBC, China Construction Bank ATM에서 인출할 수 있습니다(거래당 ¥2,500 한도, 수수료 1–3%).
