Trick calls a cheap taxi on a trip to China! 🚕🇨🇳

Anyone who has visited China will know that travel is easy and confusing at the same time, especially calling a taxi, if you can't call, have the right to be expensive, detour, or communicate easily. This chapter includes a practical trick that allows you to take a taxi in China cheaper, more comfortable, and not lose your temper.

The first thing to know is, don't hitchhike in front of the attraction.

In front of a hit source, airport or train station, there is often an informal taxi or a car. If you do not want to get hit by the price, it is recommended to walk to the Taxi Stand with a clear sign or call the car through the app.

The most important trick is to use a Chinese car calling app.

The most popular app is Didi (Grab-like), the advantage is

- See the price before it goes up.

- Don't repay the price.

- There is a translation system in the app.

It reduces a lot of miscommunication.

Another thing many people miss is that the meter has to be turned on every time.

If you call a regular taxi, get in the car and notice whether the driver presses the meter or not. If you do not press, you can tell to press immediately. If the driver is buzzing, suggest to get down and change the car. Do not be considerate.

A small but practical trick is to prepare a place name in Chinese.

Don't just rely on English. Some drivers can't read. Just showing the place name in Chinese on your phone will help you get to the point.

Finally, avoid the rush.

China is very busy. In the morning and evening, the cost of taxis is fast. If you avoid time, the cost of travel will be reduced.

In conclusion, if you prepare well, use the app to be and know small cheats, taking a taxi in China is not scary and saves a lot of travel. 🚕✨
