In this city, there are many city buses that can carry you to every corner of the city as well as the

nearby tourist destinations. The fare for most of the city buses ranges from CNY1 to CNY2, so you

need to prepare enough changes before you get on the bus. For some buses like No.18, No.25,

CNY6; but the exact fee varies according to the distance you travel. So you need to make sure about

the specific fare if you take these buses.

The taxies have different starting prices according to their logos and qualities in the city. They range

from CNY7 to CNY9 for the first three kilometres. The distance surcharge is about CNY2.8. If you

want to save money, you can choose the motor tricycles that are as convenient as the taxies but
