I'll be in Xi'an China next week and count on using Uber to get me from the airport to the hotel or vice versa. To get a sense of how easy it is to get a car at the Xian airport, I simulated a ride request. However, the Uber app did not seem to respond to addresses written in English. It kept saying that there is no such place, when I tried to put in the Crowne Plaza hotel as the pick up point and the Xian Airport as destination. What is going on? A friend of mine theorized that I have to put in the address in Chinese characters to be able to use Uber in China. Is it true?
