You can do this in USA, say at Walmart and certain stores. Purchase some items and tell the cashier you want $20 in cash. They charge your card for both the purchase and the cash. A nice way to get cash without using an ATM,and there are no fees involved.
Can you do this in China?
Paragliding high above Tiger Leaping Gorge
Posted byRugged country, beautiful pics. Nice to see these fabulous mountains from above.
I'm trying to identify the mountains shown. The top photo with the article title overlaid, is Haba Snow Mountain I'm pretty sure, based on comparison with photos I've taken from the ground.
The photo above "How do you feel about flying in such challenging locations? " shows Haba Snow Mountain on the left, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain on the right. In the foreground is Haba's south ridge.
The last pic, Nick's selfie, I think shows Haba Snow Mountain in the background.

Summiting Yunnan's majestic Haba Snow Mountain
Posted byYou can hire a guide through any of the many guest houses in Haba Village. The author of the article stayed at Haba Snow Mountain International Youth Hostel, which is also known as Haba Snow Mountain Inn. You can find contact info at the Haba article at www.WikiVoyage.org. The "lady who owns the hostel" is Yang Xiu Lan (杨修兰). She is very helpful and gracious, even speaks a little English, with emphasis on little. Additional info on climbing the mountain can be found at www.ItinerantClimbersCollective.com, especially useful for those who who want to make the ascent on their own without guides (this assumes they already have experience with ice axe and glacier travel). The author climbed the mountain in December which is definitely off-season, and the prices mentioned are on the low side. During the standard climbing season costs are higher.
