Tips

culture
三轮车 (sānlúnchē) covers both human-pedaled pedicabs (used as a tourist attraction in Beijing's hutongs) and motorized three-wheelers (still common for short-haul cargo and rural transport). 车夫 is a slightly old-fashioned word for 'driver/cabbie' - neutral but no longer used for taxi drivers (who are 司机 sījī).
