Taxis in China are plentiful and fairly inexpensive. It's a common way to get around the cities. When you visit, you will surely be in a few! The first thing you need to communicate is where you are going. You can start with calling your driver “师傅(shīfu)”. This endearing term is used to refer to people with a special skill, and are often middle-aged men. 

Next, you have to tell them where to go! You can use:

Shīfu, dào ….
师傅,到……。
Sir, (I’m going to) …(place).
