CAREFUL with Taxis from Harbin Airport into downtown. There seems to be a cheat going on because although the taxi has a meter we ended up paying 320 CNY (45-50 USD) for the cab. There was no traffic jam and the hotel we headed towards was right in the center of town. The taxi's appearance was just like any official taxi and we got the taxi outside the airport where many taxis were q'ing up to take passengers.
So instead of 100-120 CNY as this page suggests we paid three times.
