1.In China, do all taxis have a meter and switch it on? Or do you have to ask for it? Or do you haggle for the price of the ride? in China,all taxis have a meter. but only in big city,like shanghai,beijing,tianjing,hangzhou,all taxis obey the quoted price,like10 RMB for 3 km,if the distance is beyong 3 KM,there is added a extra cost,also please remenber that BAF (Bunker adjustment factor )燃油附加费. different city has different price,including the starting pice,BAF and extra paying. 2.Are there things similar to Thai tuk tuks? Rickshaw i don't know the situation in Thai tuk tuks . actually,now in China Rickshaw is just a kind of way for entertainment,the price is decide by the man.if you just wanna try for fresh thing,you can take it,it is not convenient and speed for traveling in china. 3.How much do you try to pay, in comparison with the quoted price? Say they ask for 100: after haggling, would 80 be ok? as i mentioned before,the price is different in different city,the quoted price of taxi and all vehicle is different in different city.generally the more bigger city the higher price you will pay . yes,you can ask a bargin BEFORE you take the vehicle. 4.Honestly speaking, do you think many Chinese would ask a higher price for things from westervetourists than from Chinese? in china,especially for small city,people like bargin over the price,from the price of food to house.it is a kind of traditional.if you understand it and get the skill of bargin,you will enjoy.

Q1:In China technically taxis can't bargin.But in some small cities like "Chengde" there are only two price:5yuan and 10yuan--the city is too small. In some cities you'll find the driver keep picking up new passengers even if he hasn't sent the first passenger to his destination. Q4：It's better for you to get a good grasp of the general price of goods in China.Big tourist cities(especially those international tourist cities) like Beijing, Shanghai and Yunnan is ok. But in smaller city or poor-administered sightseeings this thing happens. Chinese tourists(not local people) get cheated as well. However, if you buy the goods, it means the price is ok with you. I've seen someone charge a foreigner 300yuan of cloth worth only100yuan, but the foreigner jumpped in joy because he'd never expected it to be so cheap. PS: Do buy things in the local supermaket(not shop, supermaket), goods there is less likely to be fake or too expensive.

you have to remember this tel number 12315,it is Telephone Consumer Complaints in china.I suggest you ask local friends to help you When you encounter difficulties or some things are not fair for you.

？taxi has meter，you can't change price. But in small place you can bargin I think.
