Taxi price in Beijing has been changed.

The price for each kilometer has become CNY 2 instead of CNY 1.6. Nothing else is changed.

The taxi price in Shanghai has been rised!
PEA28COCK | Shanghai | 5/11/2006 8:13:10 PM

According to the news, taxi price in Shanghai has been rised. The new price is 11 Yuan for the first three kilometers and 2.1 Yuan for each extra kilometer afterwards.

It will take a pretty long time to install new mileometers to all the taxis in Shanghai, therefore if you go to Shanghai within half a month, you will find both the old and new price systems. :)

Getting around in Qinling Zoological Park
PEA28COCK | Xian | 5/8/2006 4:34:44 AM

In the park, you can take free bus to have a general view of almost all the wild and ferocious animals in the park. Of course you have to show your park ticket before you get on this free bus.

There is battery cars which you have to pay 5 Yuan for every time you take them. And again if you want to take the 'little train'in the park you need to pay an extra 10 Yuan. Walk is also a good way to enjoy the animals and natural sceneries, though a little bit tired.

Remember to keep the ticket when you are in the park, because you can enjoy some free performance based on this ticket.

Qinling Zoological Park
PEA28COCK | Xian | 5/8/2006 4:13:00 AM

If you want to go to Qinling Zoological Park, there are three bus routes.

You can take 320 at the Gig Wild Goose Pagoda to get to the park directly.

You can take 321 at Nanmen stop (South Gate Stop)to Weiqu Xijie stop and then change to 320 to get to the park.

Still you can take 322 to the last stop and then change to 320 to get to the park.

There is only one bus No.320 heading for other places in Xi'an. Therefore you'd better end your trip in the park a bit earlier to avoid the swarms of people.

Good luck.
