We will be going to Beijing and will need transportation from the airport to the Beijing Hotel. We will have two large pieces of luggage plus 2 carryons so a bus is not an option. Can anyone give me information about taxis. Is there a fixed rate, meter, or is the rate subject to the whim of the driver? I am told none of them can read or understand English. How will I be able to tell them where we want to go? We do need some service which is DIRECT to the hotel and not some combination of shuttle and taxi. Thanks for any advice.
