Getting TO/AROUND: The model and condition of taxis in Hangzhou are one of the best among Chinese cities. There is a sign saying "TAXI" at the top of a taxi. Taxies charge according to the meter. The start price is RMB10 yuan within 4km. RMB 2 yuan for one kilometer within 8km. RMB 2.4 yuan for one kilometer beyond 8km. RMB 2 yuan per 5 minutes is charged for waiting.
Hangzhou is a very small city, generally, the charge of taxi is around 15yuan. and never overpass RMB30yuan even to the very far surburn of the city.
NOTE: The taxi service is 24hour, BUT you should notice that at 7:00 to 8:00 am and 5:00 to 6:00pm, it is VERY hard to get a taxi, because at that time, the daytime driver and the night driver are shifting their service and that happened to be the rush hour everyday. This is very anoying. therefore, you should avoid to take taxi at that periods.
