Maxxelli has a summer gift for you! You can now download the Taxi-Book app for free in the App Store and Google Play. After installing, you can download all cities for free as well. Once downloaded you can use the app for free forever, so be sure to download all 33 cities now you can!
Taxi-Book is a Maxxelli-powered mobile application aimed at getting expats from A to B, hassle-free. The app provides a database of Chinese-translated points of interest, making the explanation of your desired shop, bar or complex to a Chinese taxi driver as easy as you could ever hope for. Within the app you will find various location categories for various cities across China. From ‘Business + Banks’ to ‘Culture + Tourism’, Maxxelli have your destination covered. Just search for where you desire to go to, and within the relevant page you will see that your destination has been translated into Chinese characters which you can then show to your driver. The app also has a sound feature which you can play to politely ask the driver to take you to the place you wish. 
What’s more: Taxi-Book also features a small dictionary within itself, helping you to learn some basic Mandarin phrases which will help you get around in China, as well as location and map services to help you regain your bearings.
