It cost me 200 yuan from the airport last Sept. - one night and one day trip - both on meters and this was after I was told would cost about 160Y. If you are arriving late and buses don't run ( always my first choice and tho the website said they ran until last flight, this just isn't so!) - go to the taxi rank and try to share a ride to save costs.
Hostel is a bit far out of the main areas but depends what you want to see it's easy with buses.
I stayed at Mingtown Etour Youth Hostel which was much closer and quite OK.
Check out www.lonelychina.com anf there is an interactive street map at www.muztagh.com - just be wary of different spellings for roads. |
