- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): ¥50 - ¥80 (€6.5 - €11). Use the official taxi rank outside the arrivals hall and insist on the meter. Some unlicensed drivers quote inflated flat rates; a metered ride to the city centre should fall in this range.
- Best alternative: Airport shuttle bus to the city centre bus station (¥20 (€2.65))
- City buses are paid by cash or mobile payment apps at boarding. Alipay and WeChat Pay are widely accepted and are the simplest option for foreign visitors.
- Tipping is not customary in restaurants, taxis, or hotels. Rounding up is unnecessary; simply pay the bill as shown.
- No cover or service charge is typically added at restaurants. Menus generally show prices, but confirm the price before ordering at very touristy spots near the park gates.
- Always choose to be charged in CNY and decline dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals. Prefer bank-attached ATMs over standalone machines in tourist areas, which can carry higher fees. Exchange booths near the main square typically offer poor rates; use bank branches instead.
