I have an Irish driving license but want to exchange it for a Chinese one.

Did some research on the internet, but most of the information is outdated.

I saw some agencies but they charge a fortune and I don't have confidence in them.

What is the correct procedure to do it.
What documents are needed.
What are the adresses were to go to.

I life near Zhongshang park.
