Taxis are a convenient means of transportation in cities in China. When you enter a taxi there is basic charge of 8 or 10 Yuan that will take you a certain distance. If you go beyond that, the additional fare is from 1 to 2 Yuan per km. All taxis with business permits have working meters installed inside. As you leave, pay the fare according to the meter. It is not necessary to tip the taxi driver.
You can easily hail a taxi by standing on the roadside and raising your hand. In big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, it can very difficult to get a taxi at rush hour, so we advise you to reserve a taxi in advance through the front desk of the hotel. Choose a taxi with a business permit and meter. Before you leave the taxi, ask the driver for a receipt. Most taxi drivers do not understand much English, although those in tourist cities are encouraged to learn and speak some simple English, so it is better to have your destinations written in Chinese and show the address to the cab driver.
