Pedicabs in Beijing

2004/06/23

Pedicabs (ren2 li4 che1) are three-wheeled part-covered bicycles that are a good choice for sightseeing, especially through the hutongs, (traditional laneways) on your own.

They are available everywhere and are good value.

Be warned: you should bargain with the driver first, asking how much it will cost, giving clear directions etc. A legally registered pedicab has a certificate, and the driver should have a card hanging around his neck.
