Tips for Foreigners
- Have your destination written in Chinese characters — most drivers do not speak English.
- Always insist the driver uses the meter. Refuse “flat rate” offers at the airport.
- Keep the receipt (with taxi number) in case you leave something behind.
- Payment: cash (RMB), Alipay, or WeChat Pay. Credit cards generally not accepted.
A Hassle-Free Alternative
Avoid language barriers and taxi queues. Book a private airport transfer with an English-speaking driver at a fixed USD rate.
