careful with taxis from harbin airport into downtown.

Question

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.

What a pity! If the meter has no trick, I supposed that you have hired a higher-class taxi. Usually, outside the airport, there are some taxis, which are better than these one running in downtown area. This kind of taxi has higher flag-down rate and surcharge. I have experienced the same situation when I went to Xi'an last time. I hired a black taxi waiting at the airport square, then unfortunately that this taxi charged fare twice than a green one.

i am shame out  of  the  cheating cab,  normally, the cab cost you 120 ~140 CNY from airport to downtown. you should ask somebody in uniform for the cab or ask the price before you get in the cab. just your lucky meeting the only robber.peter
