If you wish to take taxi to the hostel, don't use the service desks in the lobby of the airport or those offer you a ride to the city center because most of them are always ready to rip you off at more than 300 RMB by putting you into their private cars without taxi license.

Please use licensed taxi for more reliable and fairly priced service and always ask for a receipt from the driver when you pay for it in case you could forget something in the taxi or you are overcharged. If you feel overcharge, you could contact our hostel staff for help before you pay to the driver when you arrive at the gate.
