The best way is to bring twice the amount that you budget in RMB from Singapore. The best rates are found at PPC or Arcade (refer to the RMB thread).
IF bo pian and you run out of money, the ATM at Miraton Hotel can draw cash. Look for any ATM with the Cirrus logo.
The rates are pretty bad, but not total rip-off. I think the exchange rate is maybe 5-10% off Singapore rates, and there is a 5 dollar surchage.
Also I got open citibank account in Singapore before, and basically can withdraw cash using citibank ATM in China. The exchange rate sucks but no extra charges. There is however no Citibank ATM i know off in CP (closest is Shenzhen)
