Hello!
I must take a taxi at Beijing airport by night. I read about bad experiences with dishonets taxi drivers.

Does anyone could advise me about the normal fare to downtown (Tiananmen Square) and to choose the honest taxi driver?
Thanks in advance!

The best way to get an honest taxi driver is to go to the taxi queue at the airport.

When arriving, follow the exit signs with taxis on them. There will be drivers trying to get your attention as soon as you get out of the customs, but just say no thanks and walk towards the exit and the taxi signs.

When you come out, cross the first street and (most likely) to your left you will see an area that has been poled off for queueing. Most likely you will not be the only one queueing for a taxi so stand in line. When you get closer to the end, there is large sign on a pillar to your left with typical fare prices for going to various big hotels in Beijing. Check fares, it should be somewhere between 100 to 150 CNY for a trip to tiananmen square.
