Note: So when you arrive in Zhongshan by ferry, and you want to go to the city centre by taking the taxi, please be aware that the taxi drivers will attempt to charge twice the proper fare (and without using the metre counter). These guys are brutal and just love to take advantage of the unwary Gwai-lo (Westerner). Where the normal metered fare is about ￥27 Yuan, they will ask ￥40 Yuan or more. The taxis in town are cool though. However, try taking the No.1 bus, outside the gate is about 50 metres to the left. This will only cost ￥3 Yuan.
