Flight from Zurich arrives at 5:15 a.m. when terminal 3E is in the dark. Only three taxis at the official 3C taxi stand, none of whom were willing to put on the meter. Negotiated down to 180, so still about 30 or 40 higher than it should have been.
Travelex is the worst option pretty much everywhere in the world although relatively less so in Beijing than what I have seen in other countries.
