Can somebody recommend a good way to get to Mutian Yu or Si Ma Ti for an English speaker who doesn't speak any Mandarin? I know that the public bus goes to Mutian Yu, but my understanding is that it is hard to get on the right bus or buy a ticket without speaking Mandarin, and that people typically scam tourists into getting off before the actual stop and then make them take expensive taxis to get to the site. I guess same problem with Si Ma Ti.

I saw Jiejie's links earlier in this thread for the backpackers. As I'm not staying in the hostel, not sure if those would work for me as I'm not sure if that hostel is near a subway stop. Thanks in advance for the help!
