They offer an experience for tourists. They are found around big hotels and street corners in cozy seasons. Rickshaws provide a more relaxing way to explore the city.
Prices are bargained with the driver and though prices are usually reasonable, one should still be careful--it is not unheard of for a new tourist pay 50 Yuan for a 2 minute ride from the Friendship Store to the Subway.
You should carry a map with you, know where you are going or ask a foreigner if you care about the price, and if not then just go. The one really nice thing about these rickshaws is that unlike Thailand or other places where these are often used, the drivers don't make arbitrary pitstops in suit or dress manufacturers.
