Entertainment in Jilin

Around Jilin taking a taxi is the quickest way to get around, the meter starts off at 5Yuan and that will take you a fair distance about a 5-10 minute drive. (taxi drivers in Jilin from what I can tell are a bit sheltered when it comes to the outside world since most of them were not aware of Cantonese, they also do not speak any English)

I did however find a taxi driver that lived in Hong Kong for awhile I grabbed his cell phone and called him for personal uses since it was more pleasant way of getting around, he also chauffeur people to the airport, at least this way I could practice my Cantonese Buses are the cheapest way after cycling around, it costs 1 Yuan/per bus you take but this stop at every stop driving at snail pace while people cram on even though thereis clearly not enough room. You can also get a 'bus card' where you load up money and it costs you 0.90 Jiao per trip saving you the hassleof fumbling around for loose change. Cycling would be the cheapest but not necessarily the safest the roads in China have no rules it is like a free for all. If you can afford a scooter and ride it with confidence I would suggest this would be the way to go since all you have to do is drag the battery up to your apartment to charge.

My roommate in China had one and weaving through cars past the buses and cyclists is theway to travel. There is a train in this city but it will only take you out of the city, luckily it is much cheaper than flying but takes a lot of time. You can read about the different tiers of sleepers on trains in China in the lonely planet.
