Will I get a better exchange rate from GBP to Chinese Yuan, if I change the cash in China?

I have been to a bureu de change and a travel agent , one offered me an exchange rate of £1 = 13.25 yuan, the other offered me 13.28. I checked the international rates and the actual exchange rate is 14.12. Any suggestions are most welcome.

1. Yes you get a much netter rate in China. If you fly into Beijing Capitol airport, after you come through security and into the baggage hall, if you look straight in front of you (to the right of the exit), you will see a Bureau de Change (probaly Bank Of China, I'm not sure) but they are very efficient there, and you'll get as good a rate there as anywhere else in Beijing. It also means you have the local currency for a taxi. Beware of being offered taxis inside the airport, always go outside to the official taxi rank, there's much less chance of you being ripped off. Enjoy your trip
