Construction of expressways and first-and second-class highways are progressing rapidly. Several dozen expressways pivoting on such major cities as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Taiyuan and Xi'an have been completed and opened to traffic. Sections of the Lianyungang-Alataw (Xinjiang) Expressway, which runs across the Chinese continent from east to west, and the Beijing-Hong Kong Expressway, cutting through the country from south to north, will begin construction soon.2wuSilk Road Adventure & Private Tours - Silk Road China Tours

Impressive improvement had been achieved in China's highway transportation by the end of the 20th century. Provincial capital cities are highway passenger transport centers that operate regular bus services to and from various prefectures, cities, counties and towns in their respective provinces and autonomous regions. The numbers of tourist buses in large and medium-sized cities and sleeper-buses that run across provincial boundaries are on the increase. Expressway transport in China is characterized by top-notch and speedy services and simplified procedures, and express buses are dispatched in a streamlined fashion to guarantee prompt arrival. Most vehicles traveling these expressways are imported or joint venture products that are well designed, comfortably equipped and reliable. Service of these buses is on a par with airline service, and they travel at an average speed of 100 kilometers per hour.2wuSilk Road Adventure & Private Tours - Silk Road China Tours

China enjoys adequate taxi service. In most cities, the taxi tends to be small locally made cars painted red, green or yellow. In large cities, there are luxurious sedans at a higher rate. Taxi fares (normally ranging from RMB1 to RMB2 Yuan per km) vary from city to city but the fare is always clearly marked on the taxi window. Simply raise your hand when a taxi appears. Be sure to choose a taxi with a business permit, and before you disembark from a taxi ride, ask the driver for a receipt. Most taxi drivers do not understand much English, although those in tourist cities are encouraged to learn and speak some simple English. Non-Chinese speaking visitors are advised to have their destinations written down in Chinese and show the address to the cab driver. Your hotel will give you a card with the name in Chinese to give the driver.2wuSilk Road Adventure & Private Tours - Silk Road China Tours
