Getting Around
Bicycles: Rent a bicycle at one of the many shops that costs only a couple of yuans per day to get around. It is one of the best ways to see a place. Beware of the big roads if you want to go beyond the city borders. Pollution is extreme and road conditions are very bad, so accidents are quite usual.
Buses: There are two main types of buses: city buses and overland buses. Both are very cheap and run frequently. You have to be very careful of pickpockets since these buses are extremely crowded. The bus network is very extensive and the fares are quite low.
Rail: The train is one of China's main means of transportation with over 52,800km of tracks. However, most of these tracks operate with diesel or coal, only 5,700km are electrified. On the train a good way to spend time is to go to the dining car. Meals are usually cheap. Trains are usually very punctual and safe. The best thing is to book your ticket in advance as tickets are sometimes quite limited.
Taxis: It is best to take taxis that are licensed and metered. If not, agree on the fare before the driver starts the journey.
