Taxi is a good choice for transportation in the city, especially during off-peak hours. It is affordable (typically starting at ¥14 for the first 3 km (larger cabs start at ¥16 and rural area taxis at ¥12) ¥2.5/km up to 10 km, and ¥3.6/km after; when wheels aren't rolling, time is also tracked and billed but first 5 min. are free; a ¥1 fuel surcharge is also applied) and saves you time, but try to get your destination in Chinese characters or available on a map as communication can be an issue. Flagfall starts at ¥18 after 23:00.
Most drivers do not speak English or any other foreign languages, so be sure to have the address of your destination written in Chinese to show the taxi driver.
