The Language of Hong Kong's Taxis

🌟 When it comes to Hong Kong, how can we not mention those red taxis whizzing through the streets? On the bustling streets of Hong Kong, they have become a unique part of the scenery. But there are little tricks to hailing a cab in Hong Kong too.😉 🚦 Trouble hailing a cab? 🚦 Hong Kong's main roads are bustling with traffic and the roads are narrow, making it not so easy to catch a taxi. Want to hail a cab? It's best to go to a side street or a designated taxi stand, where it's easier to flag one down! 🚕 💰 Expensive fares? 💰 Indeed, taxi fares in Hong Kong are not cheap, comparable to those in Japan. I remember once going from Central to a hotel in Jordan, a mere 6.4 kilometers cost 128.3 yuan (RMB), including a round-trip toll of 50 yuan! This is because you also have to pay for the driver's return toll; however, the 33 kilometers from the hotel to the airport only cost 263 yuan, which is relatively reasonable. 😅 💡 Tips: 💡 🌟 Tunnel tolls can be quite high, so friends traveling between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula can save money by choosing the subway or the Star Ferry! 🌟 Always prepare 💴 cash! Cash! Cash! Many drivers do not support Alipay or other electronic payment methods, and even if they do accept Alipay, they charge in RMB. So, having enough Hong Kong dollars in cash will make your taxi experience in Hong Kong much smoother! A human touch in hailing! 💼 Sharing Experience 💼 Although a bit pricey, the taxi service in Hong Kong is really great! Automatic doors, polite greetings from drivers, and the enjoyable chit-chat along the way all make for a very friendly experience. 😄 So, it might be a bit expensive, but the experience is what matters most!
