Thank you for your response. We will be a party of 4 adults, each with a suitcase. Will there be taxis large enough to take us, waiting at the taxi stand or would i need to arrange this beforehand/
Thank you
Hello Catherine,
It is ok to line up for taking taxis at the airport. But basically you need to take two taxis considering the number of your traveling party and luggage. It is not a bad idea to book a van up front, so you four can go together in one van to your hotel.
Cost of Taxi for travel from Chengdu airport to Ermeishan one way
Approx. RMB 600 simply because the taxi driver has to return empty.
Hi,

In Chengdu my husband and my son took a taxi today (Aug 15) from Mr Panda Hostel and arrived at Wen Jun Mansion Hotel around 11:30 am. Once the taxi dropped them off, my son realized he left his cell phone in the taxi. Is there any way to check to see if his phone was found. Thank you.
