Beijing can be a frustrating city to navigate for visitors who do not speak Chinese.

The Beijing Taxi Cards are a simple set of palm sized ‘flip’ cards, featuring the most popular attractions, venues and destinations in Beijing. Lightweight and small, they fit easily in a handbag or pocket and can clip to a backpack or key ring. While other taxi guides and flash cards are available, they either contain too little information or so much that they become impractical to carry around.

In a city where numbered addresses mean little and street names change every few blocks, it’s up to the tourist to communicate with taxi drivers in Chinese. Of the nearly 70,000 Beijing Taxi drivers, few speak any English at all; Beijing Taxi Cards make this communication possible and even fun.

Each Beijing Taxi Card clearly displays a location name, with detailed directions in Chinese, as well as a phonetic pronunciation of the place name in English. When hailing a cab, visitors can ‘sound out’ the word or simply hand the card to the driver. With over 100 taxi cards to choose from, Beijing’s destinations are clearly categorized by color for quick use.

Whether touring the city, looking for a bite to eat, shopping or traveling between Olympic venues, visitors can easily browse the Taxi Cards for their next stop and all destinations are clearly plotted on a small, folding map.

Beijing Taxi Cards are the essential companion for visitors looking to easily navigate China’s Capital City by taxi.
