Xinzheng Travel Guide

 joelaldo Says:  Taxis are 3 yuan to start, and don't go for more than 8-10 yuan any trip around town. It's a nice alternative to buses during cold days, since the buses can get crowded. Get ur destination written in characters by someone, and show it to the driver.Do not scream or jump if... 

 joelaldo Says:  Don't be afraid to buy fruit in the market. It's generally safe, just wash it. Bananas are 4 yuan/kilo, apples and oranges are not far off. Don't be surprised if fruit is more expensive here than in the big cities in china...it's harder to get produce here. But it's still... 

 joelaldo Says:  As in the rest of China, traffic laws are more of a suggestion. And rural china is much worse...the lack of police officers seems to allow people more freedom to drive like maniacs. However, the roads are in great condition, something somewhat strange for a 3rd world... 

 joelaldo Says:  Xinzheng is already off the beaten path. But rent a bike from any of the big bike rental people alongside the road (1 yuan for 2 hours!!!, sometimes less) and just go exploring the city on your own. There's not much to see to the naked eye, but it's real china at it's best...
