判断
中国ではDiDiと街中のタクシー、どちらを使うべき？
中国国内の都市で移動が必要になり、DiDiアプリと街中でタクシーを拾う方法のどちらを選ぶか迷っています。
おすすめ
基本的にDiDiを利用しましょう。DiDiに車がいない場合や電波が届かない場合に限り、街中のタクシーを利用してください。
The options
| Option | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| DiDi (アプリ) | ほぼすべての人に最適 — 英語対応UI、料金が事前確定、行き先を入力するだけで中国語は不要。 | ラッシュアワーには1.3〜2倍の割増料金; ピーク時には配車を捕まえられないことがある。 |
| 街中のタクシー | データ通信が不安定なエリアや、DiDiで20分以上待つと表示される場合。 | 運転手は英語を話せない可能性が高い; 支払い は現金またはWeChatのみ; 遠回りされるリスクがある。 |
The verdict
基本的にDiDiを利用しましょう。DiDiに車がいない場合や電波が届かない場合に限り、街中のタクシーを利用してください。

Other Transportation decisions
Should I take HSR or fly between Beijing and Shanghai?
Take HSR for Beijing-Shanghai — cheaper, more reliable, and ends in the city center. Fly only for routes over 1,500 km.
Should I book HSR tickets in advance?
Book 13–15 days ahead for trunk routes and any peak-period travel. Day-of is fine only for off-peak secondary routes.
Is first/business class on Chinese airlines worth it?
Worth it only on long-haul >8hr flights where seat flatness matters. Skip on sub-5hr flights — domestic Chinese first class rarely justifies the price.
HSR vs domestic flight — Beijing to Shanghai?
HSR wins for Beijing-Shanghai — cheaper, on-time, and ends downtown. Fly only when rail timing doesn't fit.
