lan your Lhasa tour<\/a>? You may\u00a0wonder which means of\u00a0public transportation you should use to get around the city of Lhasa. For a foreign visitor on a short stay in Lhasa, taking a cab is a most popular way of traveling aroun the city. Lhasa taxis<\/a> are seen everywher in the busy areas in the city. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beside the cabs running on the streets, you can easily find a great number of pedicabs or trishaws shuttling\u00a0on the streets\u00a0of Lhasa.\u00a0You can hail a\u00a0tricycle almost everywhere in the city center. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the trishaw drivers are clothed in uniform, a kind of green vests in summer. All the pedicabs are registered with a specific number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a trishaw ride in the downtown for about 10 minite, it will cost you around\u00a0CNY 10. The trishaw fare is not fixed and to be negotiated. \u00a0 They can hold two passengers at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So please first ask for a price before you get in. Most of the local\u00a0trishaw drivers are very easy to deal with. You don\u2019t have to be so protective. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I had an experience taking a cab from my lodging hotel on East Beijing Road to the Lhasa CAAC building\u00a0which was\u00a0the starting point for\u00a0airport shuttle for Lhasa Airport<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mainly due to the peak hour in a day, I waited for half hour and still couldn\u2019t catch a cab.\u00a0While being\u00a0worried about flight home,\u00a0a tricycle driver waved to me. Suddenly I found many trishaws on the streets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a simple negotiation, we made a deal at CNY10 from our lodging hotel \u2013 Gangjian Hotel to the CAAC Building lying to the east of Potala Palace. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
We were on the way to the CAAC building for the airport bound shutte bus. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Riding a trishaw is\u00a0a fun as well as a unique angle through which you see another side of Lhasa City. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
