do you have you bank details for your home account with you, and a local friend who is willing to help you?
You need everything include the destination bank address.
There is a limitation of the equivalent of $ 500 US dollars to exchange from Rmb per day. Be aware of that, may apply here.
Besides your passport and bank book or debit card, you will need the name and street address of your bank branch in Ireland, their SWIFT Code, the name to account holder to which you transfer the money, maybe even their phone number. But your best bet is to go to your ICBC Bank and ask them the requirement, so you can comply with them.
Be warned, even if you go to the main bank branch in the city with all your bank numbers and information, it might not recognise Ireland as a country to which it will transfer your money.
I don't know about Ireland per se, but usually it is fine as long as you know the bank's IBAN number, account number and sort code.
Try western Union.. because bank transfer is very risky in china.. you can lose your money and not be able to track it.
