I'm a 24 year old girl travelling to Beijing on 16th of May (so two weeks time) and I was just wondering how easy it is to get around in Beijing? For example is catching a Taxi from the airport pretty simple? I visited Chengdu in September last year and found it was a little difficult and me and my friend did get hassled a bit but because we were together it wasn't so bad. Are the Taxi's pretty reliable? Thanks! :)

GUEST4995	Christina, It depends on when you arrive. If you are unlucky, you need to queue up for a bit long time for taking the taxi. Sometimes, the queue might be several hundred meters long. If you are not in a hurry, I think you should take the airport shuttle bus to reach to the downtown area and then catch a taxi to your hotel/destination.

For metro, it easy to get around Beijing everything in the subway including the announcements are generally in English. Have a map with you, you can always point at things.
