Description

As featured on Gizmodo on 8/14/08, the Beijing Taxi Guide is filled with over 3000 big, bold-faced addresses in Chinese that show drivers exactly where you want to go.

What do users say about the app?

"Best Application in the Store!"

"I do not know how I survived here without this."

“...in a city where none of the taxi drivers speak English, this app is essential...”

"...if I were coming here for the first time, I would buy an iPhone just so I could have this app in my pocket."

Want to try it out? Check it out in person at the Beijing Sanlitun Apple Store, or visit our HoodHotTravel.com to see a live video demo.

We added local suggestions from some of our coolest friends (DJ Wordy, China's 3-Time DMC Champion, local students, bar owners, and expats) - its easy to browse their knowledge with the Taxi Guide. Want to find a specific place? Search for it! Sort the locations by distance, and SMS or email the cards to friends with CardShare. With over 3000 locations and hundreds of hotels, it's probably in here! If not, let us know, and we'll include it in the next release.

And don’t worry; it doesn’t need an internet connection, so you won’t get dinged with roaming fees. (Please note that mapping and internet browsing of reviews require an internet connection and will use data). We'll be providing constant updates, since the app is offline and Beijing changes so quickly, so stay tuned, add your hotel to the favorites, and enjoy Beijing!

* Please note, addresses are written in Simplified Chinese for use in Mainland China. Some users that are learning Chinese outside of Mainland China have been complaining that the characters used are missing strokes in comparison to the characters used in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but they are actually different character sets, and Simplified Chinese is used exclusively in Beijing.

For comments/corrections, please contact [email protected] with detailed venue information and we will update the database in the next release. Information in the guide is believed to be accurate but is not guaranteed.
