My best guess is the Far Eastern black-and-yellow garden spider - Argiope amoena (Koch, 1878), which is a kind of orb-weaver spiders.
Check out following URLs for more information.

Hope this helps.

Another possiblity is Multi-Coloured St Andrew's Cross Spider, Argiope versicolor (Doleschall, 1859). If your spider is about a quarter of an inch, Argiope versicolor may be right. Otherwise, if it is about an inch long, it might be an Argiope amoena.
