Yiwu Route Planner: Taxi Fares & Travel Times by Landmark

Pick a start and an end point — airport, railway station, market district, mosque, Exotic Street, night market or any listed restaurant or hotel — and get the metered taxi benchmark, the Didi option, the metro alternative and the driver card.

22routes with Amap fare estimates
How it works: the base map is dual-track — Google Maps where it loads, Amap 高德 automatically in mainland China (Google is blocked without a VPN) or whenever Google fails to load within 5 s; with neither key set, OpenStreetMap. Routes come from the same provider (Google Directions or Amap driving / walking / transit), falling back to OpenStreetMap routing (OSRM: driving and walking only). The taxi range is Yiwu's official tariff on the routed distance (low) and ×1.75 for traffic waiting and detours, calibrated to visitor-reported fares (high). Nothing here is our own metered ride yet — those replace the range, with the date, after the site owner rides each route.

Estimates = Amap road distance × official tariff (low) to ×1.75 (high, calibrated to visitor-reported meters). Each row becomes a metered benchmark with the date after a local rides it; every listed restaurant and hotel adds its own three fares (from market, station, airport).

FAQ

Questions visitors ask

How is the fare estimated?

The planner routes the real road distance (Google Directions with a key, OpenStreetMap routing without) and applies Yiwu's official taxi tariff (¥8 for 2 km, ¥2.5/km, +40% on the part beyond 6 km, +10% at night; document 义发改费〔2015〕9号). Because visitors' real fares run above that formula (waiting time in traffic, detours), we show a range whose upper end is calibrated to visitor-reported fares. Each route becomes a metered benchmark with the date after a local rides it.

Can I start from my current location?

Yes — choose ‘My current location’ and allow location access. Browsers only allow GPS on secure (https) pages, so if location is blocked pick the nearest landmark instead.

Can the site book a Didi for me?

No website can: Didi offers no public consumer booking API. Use ‘Open in Amap · taxi’ — Amap's route screen has a taxi tab that aggregates Didi, Caocao, T3 and others, has an English interface and takes Alipay / WeChat with a foreign card. ‘Open DiDi’ copies the Chinese destination and opens the international DiDi app if you have it.
