Lijiang Taxi

As a famous tourist destination, Lijiang has over 1,000 taxies though it is a large city neither in size nor in population. The up-and-down red Charade has already become the main vehicle for local residents as well as travelers at home and abroad. Generally speaking, the taxi fare is CNY6 for the first 3 kilometers and then CNY1.6 per km for the succeeding journey. The price of a Santana taxi is CNY7 for the first 3 kilometers and CNY1.8 for every succeeding kilometer. Since Lijiang urban area is small, CNY6 will be enough for a trip in downtown area. And you can also bargain for a good price with the driver.

The taxies in Lijiang are mainly parked at Jade Dragon Bridge region, the interface of old town and new town district, which is also the main passage for travelers to Lijiang Old Town and Square Street. In addition, there are also taxies neighboring Lijiang Dongba Culture International Exchange Center every morning which offer service to Spruce Plateau, Yufeng Temple and other scenery spots. Generally you can trust the local Naxi taxi drivers completely. However, you should drive a bargain about the price and service in advance during the tourist peak season.
