打的(dǎdī) - Take a Taxi
Taxies in China are fast and cheap, but most Chinese taxi drivers only speak “hello”, “yes” and “no”, so learning how to speak Chinese to them can be essential for your stay in China. Instead of just showing them the map and pointing to the place you want to go, you can learn how to 打的 (dǎdī) - take a taxi in Chinese.
