Not only is the culture different, but it\u2019s also important that you know how much it costs and what options to use.<\/p>\n<p>How do you get a taxi and can you communicate with the driver in English? Do you need to tip or not? These are just a couple of questions that you should know before you depart for China.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we reply to some of the most common questions related to taking taxis in China.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you hail a taxi in China?<\/h3>\n<p>Below I\u2019ve listed the three different ways of how you can hail a taxi in China.<strong><!--more--><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Online taxi-hailing apps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the past years, China has become increasingly digitized and booking a taxi via one of its online taxi-hailing apps is probably the most popular. The biggest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/how-to-use-didi-china\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">application in China is called Didi<\/a>, which can be downloaded before you depart for China. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Hail a taxi by hand signal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hailing a taxi by hand is still popular and means that you will ride with companies such as Dazhong, Qiangsheng, and Jingjiang. Keep in mind that the standard of the cars are generally worse compared to when booking a taxi via an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/best-apps-travel-china\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">online taxi-hailing application<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, as the price is determined after the ride, they can take detours or try to set a fixed price before the ride starts. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Call a number and book a taxi<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can also call numbers to book taxis that differ according to cities. For instance, the number isn\u2019t the same in Beijing as in Shanghai. Below I have listed taxi booking numbers in some of the biggest cities in China:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"space-list\">\n<li>Shanghai (Dazhong): 021 &#8211; 96822<\/li>\n<li>Beijing (Beijing taxi): 10 &#8211; 96103<\/li>\n<li>Guangzhou: 8623 1800<\/li>\n<li>Shenzhen (24-hour hotline): 96880<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Can I use Uber in China?<\/h3>\n<p>As of 2016, Uber doesn\u2019t operate in China as it pulled out of the Chinese market. Thus, you have to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/how-to-use-didi-china\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">local taxi-hailing application Didi Chuxing<\/a>, which can be used via WeChat.<\/p>\n<h3>Do Chinese taxis take credit cards?<\/h3>\n<p>No, most of the Chinese taxis don\u2019t accept foreign credit cards. But, if you use Didi Chuxing, you can use your foreign credit cards to issue payment for their services. Thus, be sure to withdraw some RMB directly when you arrive at the airport or before you leave your home country.<\/p>\n<h3>Can foreigners use Didi in China?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, foreigners can use Didi Chuxing and you can even download the application before departing for China. It\u2019s widely used among foreigners as you won\u2019t have to wait until you find a taxi and come across scammers.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I pay DiDi with cash?<\/h3>\n<p>No, you cannot pay DiDi drivers with cash. You have to register a Chinese or a foreign credit card. That\u2019s one of the major drawbacks of using DiDi.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it safe to take a taxi in China?<\/h3>\n<p>Taking taxis in the bigger cities is safe and you don\u2019t need to worry about theft, robberies, or assaults. On the contrary, the drivers are sometimes less safe, a reason why you\u2019ll see that taxis in cities like Guangzhou have metal bars and plexiglass to protect the drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Just be cautious as some drivers might want to set a fixed price instead of using the meter. Be sure that the driver turns on the taximeter right after starting the car.<\/p>\n<p>And make sure that you didn\u2019t drop any of your belongings when leaving the taxi. It can be difficult, if not impossible, to get them back.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you tip taxis in China?<\/h3>\n<p>No, the Chinese don\u2019t expect any tip as it\u2019s not part of their culture.<\/p>\n<h3>Are taxis expensive in China?<\/h3>\n<p>Taxis are still comparably cheap. Below I\u2019ve included an overview of the fees for different cities, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numbeo.com\/taxi-fare\/country_result.jsp?country=China\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">shown on Numbeo\u2019s website<\/a>: <\/p>\n<ul class=\"space-list\">\n<li>Beijing: Taxi Start 13 Yuan, then 2.3 Yuan per kilometer.<\/li>\n<li>Chengdu: Taxi Start 8 Yuan, then 2 Yuan per kilometer.<\/li>\n<li>Chongqing: Taxi Start 10 Yuan, then 2 Yuan per kilometer.<\/li>\n<li>Guangzhou: Taxi Start 12 Yuan, then 2.6 Yuan per kilometer. <\/li>\n<li>Hangzhou: Taxi Start 11 Yuan, then 2.65 Yuan per kilometer.<\/li>\n<li>Shanghai: Taxi Start 14 Yuan, then 2.90 Yuan per kilometer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How much is a taxi from Beijing airport to the city?<\/h3>\n<p>It costs around 120 &#8211; 150 Yuan to take a taxi from the airport to the city center, depending on where you\u2019re going.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does it take to get from Beijing airport to the city?<\/h3>\n<p>It takes around 40 minutes to reach the city center by taxi from the airport.<\/p>\n<h3>How much is a taxi from Shanghai airport to the city?<\/h3>\n<p>It costs around 170 Yuan to take a taxi from the airport to the city center. It\u2019s slightly cheaper to go from the city center to the airport though.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does it take to get from Shanghai airport to the city?<\/h3>\n<p>It takes around 50 minutes to reach the city center by taxi from the airport.<\/p>\n<h3>Are there two airports in Shanghai?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, Shanghai has two airports, Pudong International Airport and Hongqiao International Airport. Pudong International Airport is the biggest airport and primarily used for international flights. Even if Hongqiao International Airport serves international flights, it\u2019s mainly used for regional and domestic flights.<\/p>\n<h3>Do taxi drivers in Shanghai speak English?<\/h3>\n<p>Even if some people claim that you can speak English with taxi drivers in Shanghai, it\u2019s very rare. They might be able to utter a few words, like \u201cWhere do you come from?\u201d, but it\u2019s usually not more than that.<\/p>\n<p>They are more than happy to converse with you in Chinese though, talking about everything from your home country, about China, politics, sports, and more.<\/p>\n<h3>How many taxis are there in Shanghai?<\/h3>\n<p>Having more than 100 taxi companies, there are more than 50,000 taxis in Shanghai.<\/p>\n<h3>How many taxis are there in Beijing?<\/h3>\n<p>There are a bit more than 66,000 taxis in Beijing, around 16,000 more than in Shanghai.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"credits\">Photo Credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon\/cc.png\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\"\/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/johnjoh\/325530421\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Taxi<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/johnjoh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">star5112<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you plan to travel to China, it can be worth to do some reading about how to get around by taxi.
