Does anybody know how much is the usual taxi fare from PEK to Shangri-La Hotel? The hotel is charging me 400RMB, one way.

Sounds like way too much. Can't answer your question exactly but CAAC offer shuttle services into downtown areas of all cities.
Beijing appears to have one which runs to Yuyuantian Lianhuachi which is near the third ring road on the western side of the city, not too far from Shangrila Hotel.

The Airport-City Shuttle Bus departs from outside Arrivals and takes three routes into the city: Xidan, Gongzhufen and Zhongguancun. The most popular route is to Xidan in central Beijing, a short walk from the Forbidden City. T

The other routes are to Gongzhufen in western Beijing and to Zhongguancun in the city’s northwest district; the shuttle also stops at major Y16 approx cost.

Check this site and others listed for more information.

Sorry that should read 'major hotels' and Shangrila is located in the north west of Beijing.

Usually, the taxi fare from airport to some hotels in PEK is RMB 120, plus the toll fare.
When I arrived in PEK airport, I paid RMB 150.

The price asked (inside of the airport) was RMB 380!!! I bargained it.

A sugestion: if you have the name of hotel in chinese, take a regular taxi in the queue, and show the written name to the driver. You will pay the meter and more RMB 10 (toll fare). I think you will pay less. I do this, in my second time.

Good luck.
