City Bus
The central area of Changchun is not very spacious, but city bus
routes here amount to more than 100 and can take you to almost every
part of the City. Generally speaking the ticket fee is 1 Yuan in
driver only buses; in those busses with conductors, the ticket fee
is based on the numbers of stops you travel. Please do remember
to take small change when you use buses!
Some of the Changchun minibuses will stop whenever
you wave to the driver. Surely they will make your trip more convenient
comparing taking those big buses. No.264 bus can be taken as a special
tourist line, for it passes many scenic spots, such as the Film
Palace, Nanhu Park, Wenhua Plaza and the Puppet Emperor's Palace.

Taxi
As the home of Yiqi (Changchun First Automobile Factory), taxies
are readily available here with a total of some 25,000 taxies providing
services to locals and tourists alike. The taxis of Changchun include
the models Hongqi, Audi, Jetta, etc. with Jetta in the main role
with the usual price for a taxi being RMB 5 for the first 2.5 kilometers
(about 1.9 miles) and an additional charge of RMB2 for every subsequent
kilometer. Therefore if you are traveling in a small group, it is
more cost effective to take a taxi.
Tram
The No.54 tram makes Changchun one of the few cities still running
trams within China. After renovation and maintenance this tram service
is in very good condition and affords great comfort. No.54 Tram
starts from Hongqi Jie and stops at Heping Dalu passing Changchun
Film Studio, Changchun Film City and other important scenic attractions.
The No.54 tram has itself become a highlight of Changchun tourism
because its nostalgic flavor reminds people of times past. Don't
miss this tram whenever you come to visit Changchun.
