After 10pm the base fare goes up to CNY 11. There are also Hongqi taxis which operate at a 2.00 rate, however these are a rarity and not commonly seen. Idling time is also factored into the total fare. There are also many illegal cabs known as (heiche)(Black Cabs)which operate for a pre-negotiated fare.
