The latest location of the market will only share through a WeChat group just a few hours before the business hours. It only operates 3 nights in a week

    China has a lot of mom & pop food stalls.... they are very affordable. Do visit outside the tourist areas of the Tier 1 cities. Eat where the everyday locals eat at. This is what I have learned from watching travel videos of China. 💡

    Do you mean 100 RMB? It's a scam! The taxi driver should use the meter and it will be no more than 30 RMB for 8 min drive. It's strictly prohibited since 2008 but he still did this. Did you record the number plate or driver info of that taxi? I can help you to report him. Sorry for leaving the bad impression on you.

    • @FilVietBuddies
      @FilVietBuddies  11 місяців тому +1

And the driver info should be displayed in the front, so don't hesitate to record that if they refuse to do so

    ¥100 for a journey of just five or six minutes is indeed too much, and you can report that driver, which is why we choose online taxi because the price is transparent and the quality of service is good.

      It also depends if there’s not much people when you arrive at the border, but in case you are in a hurry you can ask a favor from the people or even to some officers so you don’t have to fall in line. Some security officers can speak English. For the bags it wasn’t long as well. I think i took me 20 mins to wait
