Book a taxi

Question

I need 2 taxis from forbidden city to tang fu boutique hotel

Answer

Booking taxis in Beijing is generally straightforward, and there are several options to get from the Forbidden City to Tang Fu Boutique Hotel.

Distance & Duration:

The Forbidden City is located in central Beijing, and Tang Fu Boutique Hotel is in the Dongcheng district, not far from the Forbidden City.
The distance is approximately 3–4 km, so a taxi ride typically takes 10–15 minutes depending on traffic.

Options for Booking 2 Taxis:

Hail a taxi on the street: There are usually plenty of taxis around Tiananmen Square and the areas near the Forbidden City. Simply walk to a main street and signal a taxi. Make sure to tell the driver the hotel name in Chinese: 唐府精品酒店 (Tang Fu Boutique Hotel).
Taxi apps: You can use apps like DiDi (滴滴出行) to pre-book one or two taxis in advance. This is convenient if you want guaranteed pickup at a specific time. You can select “Express” or “Premier” options for more comfort.
Hotel Concierge: Many hotels can arrange taxis for you, including two taxis at the same time. If you contact Tang Fu Boutique Hotel in advance, they can schedule the pickup and provide the drivers’ details.

Tips:

Have the hotel address written in Chinese to show the driver. This avoids confusion, especially with multiple hotels having similar names.
Make sure to confirm the number of passengers per taxi (standard taxis fit 4 adults comfortably).
During peak hours (morning or evening), allow a few extra minutes for traffic.

Using any of these methods should make it easy to get two taxis from the Forbidden City to Tang Fu Boutique Hotel efficiently.
