Bus ride |
The simplest option for getting from point A to point B in Chinese cities is a taxi. However, tourists at the airport run the risk of getting ripped off by taxi rides into the city. We recommend taking an airport bus into downtown proper and then continuing by taxi to the final destination.
Chinese taxis are very cheap; you can cover short distances for eight yuan (about one euro) and up. After a certain distance, the price is calculated per kilometer. When you take a taxi, be sure the driver starts the meter.
In some cities, you buy bus tickets in the vehicle from a conductor. Simply name your destination and hold out the money; the bus company employee will give you the proper ticket. The price depends upon the distance you’ll go. Nowadays, in most cities, there is no conductor to sell the bus ticket, instead, people put coins into a box or just brush bus cards. Buses in large cities are very often overfull.
To obtain tickets in person at a train station is an interesting experience that helps one to imagine why self defense is so important to the Chinese. Crowding is unbelievable. During the spring festival or holidays around the national holiday, it's almost impossible to get a ticket yourself. It's therefore worthwhile to pay an extra 30 - 50 yuan to get tickets from a travel agent.
