Well, you can go to the subway stations to buy the ticket, and the fare depends on the route you choose, ranging CNY2-10.After you get your tickets, you can swipe it to enter the station to take the subway. When you get in, you can check on the route and make sure which side you should get on. All stations and guiding signs are marked both in Chinese and English. No worry!By the way, if you’ll stay in the city for a long time, you are suggested to buy a Yang Cheng Tong, which can be used in bus, subway, taxi and 7-11 convenience stores.
