In addition to parking needing coins, basically you can use your card, 300-500 is enough, try to exchange 20-yuan notes. They don't have a money counter, small stores are quite cautious when accepting 50-yuan notes.

Just keep 200 for emergencies, that's enough. Most places accept dual-currency cards, preferably with a chip. There are still a few places that don't recognize credit cards with a magnetic stripe.

By the way, do you have any violations? I receive an invoice letter from Sixt every few days, which are all administration fees for speeding violations.
